Reimagining Relationship-Based Health Care in a Post-COVID World.

The US health care system has a long history of discouraging the creation and maintenance of meaningful relationships between patients and providers. Fee-for-service payment models, the 1-directional, paternalistic approach of care providers, electronic health records, anddocumentation requirements, all present barriers to the development of meaningful relationships in clinic visits. As patients and providers adopt and experiment with telemedicine and other systems changes to accommodate the impact of Coronavirus disease 2019, there is an opportunity to reimagine visits entirely-both office-based and virtual-and leverage technology to transform a unidirectional model into one that values relationships as critical facilitators of health and well-being for both patients and providers.

The Effects of Mind-Body Interventions on Sleep Quality: A Systematic Review.

Study Objectives. To evaluate the effect of mind-body interventions (MBI) on sleep. Methods.

Leaching of nutrients and trace elements from stockpiled turkey litter into soil.

In addition to nutrients, poultry are fed trace elements (e.g., As) for therapeutic purposes.

Analysis of sleep parameters in patients with obstructive sleep apnea studied in a hospital vs. a hotel-based sleep center.

Background: Polysomnography is associated with changes in sleep architecture called the first-night effect. This effect is believed to result from sleeping in an unusual environment and the technical equipment used to study sleep. Sleep experts hope to decrease this variable by providing a more familiar, comfortable atmosphere for sleep testing through hotel-based sleep centers.

Dissolution of phosphate in a phosphorus-enriched ultisol as affected by microbial reduction.

Phosphorus dissolution often increases as soils become more reduced, but the mechanisms are not fully understood. The objectives of this research were to determine rates and mechanisms of P dissolution during microbial reduction of a surface soil from the North Carolina Coastal Plain. Duplicate suspensions of silt + clay fractions from a Cape Fear sandy clay loam (fine, mixed, semiactive, thermic Typic Umbraquult) were reduced in a continuously stirred redox reactor for 40 d.
