Responses of fish to nationwide improvements in the water quality of a densely populated and heavily modified country over four decades.

Globally, fish have been severely affected by the widespread, chronic degradation of fresh waters, with a substantial proportion of species declining in abundance or range in recent decades. This has especially been the case in densely populated countries with an industrial heritage and intensive agriculture, where the majority of river catchments have been affected by deteriorations in water quality and changes in land use. This study used a spatially and temporally extensive dataset, encompassing 16,124 surveys at 1180 sites representing a wide range of river typologies and pressures, to examine changes in the fish populations of England's rivers over four decades (1980s-2010s).

Hemodialysis Outcomes Score In Trauma (HOST): A novel and easy model for predicting death in patients receiving pre-injury hemodialysis.

Introduction: We sought to construct a simple clinical mortality prediction model in trauma patients that required pre-injury hemodialysis: Hemodialysis Outcomes Score in Trauma (HOST).

Methods: Trauma patients on pre-injury hemodialysis admitted between July 2013 to December 2021 were reviewed. Univariate and multivariable analysis was used to determine independent predictors of mortality and construct the HOST score.

Evaluation of a new model of care for bladder management in a statewide spinal cord service.

Study Design: Registry-based cohort study.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the introduction of a new bladder management model of care at the Victorian Spinal Cord Service (VSCS) on the incidence of subsequent emergency department presentations and readmissions to hospital for urinary tract infection (UTI) in the first 2 years after injury.

Setting: VSCS, Austin Health, Melbourne, Australia.

Impact of Social Determinants of Health on Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Care for HIV Prevention.

Background: HIV continues to disproportionately impact men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States (US). Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is effective, but disparities persist. Limited studies have conducted systematic evaluations of social determinants of health (SDOH) and their effects on PrEP persistence among MSM.

County-Level Factors Associated with Reversal of Insurer-Approved HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Prescriptions in the United States, 2018.

Identifying county-level factors that influence pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) adherence is critical for ending the HIV epidemic in the United States (US). PrEP primary reversal is a term used to describe patients who do not obtain their prescribed medication from the pharmacy. This study sought to identify factors associated with PrEP reversal at the county level in 2018.
