Emerging pathogens and from a Canadian tertiary care hospital.

and are emerging pathogens linked with urinary tract infections. We present a case series of and isolates characterizing the spectrum of clinical presentation, microbiological characteristics and antimicrobial sensitivities. Retrospective chart review was performed on patients who grew positive cultures for and identified on MALDI-TOF in Saskatchewan from January to June 2023.

Satellites for long-term monitoring of inland U.S. lakes: The MERIS time series and application for chlorophyll-a.

Lakes and other surface fresh waterbodies provide drinking water, recreational and economic opportunities, food, and other critical support for humans, aquatic life, and ecosystem health. Lakes are also productive ecosystems that provide habitats and influence global cycles. Chlorophyll concentration provides a common metric of water quality, and is frequently used as a proxy for lake trophic state.

Effects of removal and prescribed fire on bees and plants in the southern Appalachians.

is an evergreen shrub native to the Appalachian Mountains of North America that has expanded in recent decades due to past disturbances and land management. The purpose of this study was to explore how bees and plants were affected by the experimental removal of . followed by a prescribed fire in one watershed compared to a neighboring reference watershed.

Comparing level-2 and level-3 satellite ocean color retrieval validation methodologies.

Many ocean color data applications leverage global spatially composited level-3 (L3) satellite data because of their regular Earth-grid frame of reference. However, ocean color satellite retrieval performance is routinely evaluated on level-2 (L2) data at the native satellite swath resolution and geometries. This study assesses how accurately binned and gridded L3 data represent L2 satellite data products via satellite-to-in situ match-up activities.

The Veggie Van: Customer characteristics, fruit and vegetable consumption, and barriers to healthy eating among shoppers at a mobile farmers market in the United States.

Objective: Mobile farmers markets may improve local food environments by increasing access to healthy food, yet research is limited. The purpose of this study was to describe customer characteristics and barriers to healthy eating among customers at a mobile farmers market called the Veggie Van.

Design: In 2016, a customer intercept design was used to survey English-speaking Veggie Van customers (n = 192; 70.

Work Life Stress and Career Resilience of Licensed Nursing Facility Administrators.

Career resilience provided a frame for understanding how Licensed Nursing Facility Administrators (LNFAs) sustain role performance and even thrive in stressful skilled nursing facility work environments. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of in-depth interviews with18 LNFAs, averaging 24 years of experience were conducted by a five-member research team. Analysis was informed by evidence-based frameworks for career resilience in the health professions as well as the National Association of Long-Term Care Administrator Boards' (NAB) five domains of competent administrative practice.

The work of faculty-in-residence: An introduction and literature review.

Background: The unique work of faculty-in-residence (FIRs) is premised on a substantial amount of research, which demonstrates that faculty-student engagement benefits students positively. Still, there is a dearth of literature that focuses on FIR work. In particular, there is no published research on the historical context for FIRs and no published research that provides an overarching analysis of literature germane to FIR work.
