Natural and anthropogenic processes affecting radon releases during mining and early stage reclamation activities, Pinenut uranium mine, Arizona, USA.

Radon (Rn) was monitored in open air in publicly accessible areas surrounding the Pinenut uranium (U) mine during mining and reclamation activities in 2015-16 to address concerns about mining related effects to areas surrounding Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP) in Arizona, USA. During July 2015, Rn concentrations associated with the ore storage pile monitoring site were larger than those at the mine vent monitoring site and likely resulted from the relatively large amount of ore stored on site during this period. Higher wind velocities at the ore pile monitoring site generally resulted in lower Rn concentrations; however, wind velocity did not appear to be an important factor in controlling Rn concentrations at the mine vent monitoring site.

"I would love to have online support but I don't trust it": Positive and negative views of technology from the perspective of those with eating disorders in Canada.

This qualitative study aims to explore how individuals who are seeking help and support for eating disorders use various forms of technology. Fifteen participants, recruited from an Eating Disorder Program in a hospital setting and an eating disorder community support centre, voluntarily participated in focus groups and individual interviews in 2015. The authors used thematic analysis to code and analyse the qualitative data, and three themes were identified: safety, connection and technology development.

Collaboration between the general dentist and orthodontist: an essential partnership to ensure orthodontic success.

Orthodontic therapy can significantly improve a patient's quality of life in a number of ways. Benefits of orthodontic therapy include a beautiful smile, increased self-confidence, and better overall dental and periodontal health. Collaboration and communication between the general dental team and the orthodontic team are essential elements to ensuring successful outcomes for orthodontic patients.

Pediatric specialized transport teams are associated with improved outcomes.

Objective: The goal was to test the hypothesis that interfacility transport performed by a pediatric critical care specialized team, compared with nonspecialized teams, would be associated with improved survival rates and fewer unplanned events during the transport process.

Methods: A single-center, prospective, cohort study was performed between January 2001 and September 2002. A total of 1085 infants and children at referral community hospitals with requests for retrieval by the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh transport team were studied; 1021(94%) were transported by a specialty team and 64 (6%) by nonspecialized teams.
