Introduction/aims: There is a lack of up-to-date information on the burden of motor neuron diseases (MNDs) in the United States (US). This study aimed to estimate trends in the prevalence, incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for MNDs in the US from 1990 to 2021.
Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of MNDs in the US using estimates of prevalence, incidence, and mortality obtained from analyses of the Global Burden of Disease 2021 dataset.

Despite the therapeutic potential of the primary vaccine series, a lack of confidence in the COVID-19 booster vaccine poses a threat to public health and undermines its coverage at the national, regional, and global levels. This study aimed to understand COVID-19 booster vaccine confidence (CBVC) among Bangladeshi adults aged 18-49 and the potential predictors of CBVC. In line with STROBE guidelines, a face-to-face cross-sectional survey was conducted from June 15 to August 31, 2023 during the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to summarize current recommendations for the management of serious infections, such as bloodstream infections (BSIs) and ventilator-associated pneumonia, caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) pathogens, focusing on evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and emerging treatment options.
Recent Findings: Vancomycin, linezolid, and daptomycin represent the main therapeutic options for the management of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections; among newer agents, ceftobiprole has recently gained approval for BSI treatment. For vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium BSIs, linezolid and daptomycin remain commonly employed despite the lack of comparative RCTs guiding treatment decisions.

Vegetarianism is a healthy dietary pattern that is postulated to increase longevity. Vegetarianism is adopted for animal ethics, environmental reasons, or religious beliefs. Vegetarian diets are believed to improve the gut microbiome, body weight, cardiovascular health and inflammation; however, a synthesis of the up-to-date evidence does not seem to support these effects.

Introduction: The growing number of connected medical devices in hospitals poses serious operational technology (OT) security challenges. Effective countermeasures require a structured analysis of the communication interfaces and security configurations of individual devices.
State Of The Art: Although Manufacturer Disclosure Statements for Medical Device Security (MDS2, Version 2019) offer relevant information, they are rarely integrated into cybersecurity workflows.
