Aim: Compare heart rate assessment methods in the delivery room on newborn clinical outcomes.
Methods: A search of Medline, SCOPUS, CINAHL and Cochrane was conducted between January 1, 1946, to until August 16, 2023. (CRD 42021283438) Study Selection was based on predetermined criteria.
Recent studies have shown that methane emissions are underestimated by inventories in many US urban areas. This has important implications for climate change mitigation policy at the city, state, and national levels. Uncertainty in both the spatial distribution and sectoral allocation of urban emissions can limit the ability of policy makers to develop appropriately focused emission reduction strategies.

Aim: The delivery room intubation rate for babies born less than 32 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) at the Mater Mothers' Hospital in 2017 was 51%. Delivery room intubation of preterm infants may be associated with an increased risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia. This quality improvement project aimed to decrease the rate of delivery room intubation for infants born less than 32 weeks PMA.

Stable isotope ratios of carbon (δC) and nitrogen (δN) were measured in eggs to understand the influence of diet on contaminant levels detected. Wide-scope target and suspect screening techniques were used on a single guillemot egg, providing novel information on contaminants of emerging concern.

- Urban areas like Boston University are taking on climate change efforts as federal policy lags, with the study focusing on how different land cover types impact carbon (C) levels through sequestering and respiring processes.* -
- Despite efforts, all three Boston University campuses were found to emit more biogenic carbon than they sequestered, with trees offsetting some emissions but not enough to create a net positive impact.* -
- Landscaping strategies such as reducing mulch use and increasing tree cover could help minimize carbon emissions from urban campuses, although the study indicates these emissions are a minor part of overall emissions.*
