How highly mobile populations can skew local COVID-19 wastewater trends unlvnews jamanetworkopen

Does tourism explain the disproportionate increase in SARS-CoV-2 load observed in the Las Vegas Strip sewershed, and can this contribution be quantified to more accurately estimate COVID-19 incidence in the local community?In this cross-sectional study, the rapid onset of the Omicron BA.1 variant of concern in Las Vegas Strip wastewater was leveraged to quantify relative SARS-CoV-2 contributions from visitors and estimate Omicron prevalence in this subpopulation in late 2021 .

Samples were collected from 7 wastewater treatment plant locations that collectively serve the vast majority of southern Nevada and 1 manhole serving the southern portion of the Las Vegas Strip. With Las Vegas tourism returning to prepandemic levels in 2021, it was hypothesized that visitors were contributing a disproportionate fraction of SARS-CoV-2 RNA to the largest WWTP in southern Nevada, potentially confounding efforts to estimate COVID-19 incidence in the local community through WBE.

Renal and electrolyte complications in eating disorders: a comprehensive review - Journal of Eating DisordersRenal and electrolyte complications in eating disorders: a comprehensive review - Journal of Eating DisordersEating disorders are psychiatric disorders with significant and widespread medical complications, including renal disorders. Renal disease is not uncommon in patients with eating disorders but is often unrecognized. It includes both acute renal injury and progression to chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis. Electrolyte abnormalities including hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and metabolic alkalosis are common in eating disorders and vary depending on whether patients engage in purging behaviors. Chronic hypokalemia due to purging in patients with anorexia nervosa-binge purge subtype or bulimia nervosa can lead to hypokalemic nephropathy and chronic kidney disease. Additional electrolyte derangements are seen during refeeding, including hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia. Patients can also develop Pseudo-Bartter’s syndrome which leads to edema and rapid weight gain in patients who cease purging behavior. Clinicians and patients should be aware of these complications in order to provide education and early detection and prevention.
