Interpol Review Paper of Marks and Impression Evidence 2019-2022.

This section contains an overview of publications relevant to advances in scientific methods and general discussions concerning shoe and toolmark examiners, which were published between January 2019 and May of 2022 and is the sequel to the review for the 19th Interpol International Forensic Science Managers Symposium in 2019 by Martin Baiker-Sorensen. A literature search was conducted covering relevant articles published in the main forensic journals.

Grazing and ecosystem service delivery in global drylands.

Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure, climate, soil properties, and biodiversity may occur but have never been addressed simultaneously. Using a standardized survey at 98 sites across six continents, we show that interactions between grazing pressure, climate, soil, and biodiversity are critical to explain the delivery of fundamental ecosystem services across drylands worldwide.

Pro-active Palliative Care for Hospitalized Primary Care Patients.

Background: Early integration of palliative care (PC) improves outcomes for patients with cancer and heart failure. Data on the role of PC in complex general medicine patients is scant.

Measures: We identified high-mortality risk patients from our primary care practice by screening with mortality indices upon hospital admission.

Determinants of Cervical Cancer Screening Patterns Among Women With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Objective: Women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are vulnerable to cervical dysplasia due to the persistence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The objective of this cross-sectional retrospective study was to investigate the prevalence of cervical cancer screening according to the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) SLE-specific cervical cancer screening guidelines. We also aimed to identify SLE-specific determinants associated with ASCCP adherence.
