Moving from features to functions: Bridging disciplinary understandings of urban environments to support healthy people and ecosystems.

Contact with nature can contribute to health and wellbeing, but knowledge gaps persist regarding the environmental characteristics that promote these benefits. Understanding and maximising these benefits is particularly important in urban areas, where opportunities for such contact is limited. At the same time, we are facing climate and ecological crises which require policy and practice to support ecosystem functioning.

Remote Patient Monitoring Program for Hospital Discharged COVID-19 Patients.

Objective: We deployed a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program to monitor patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) upon hospital discharge. We describe the patient characteristics, program characteristics, and clinical outcomes of patients in our RPM program.

Methods: We enrolled COVID-19 patients being discharged home from the hospital.

Cytomegalovirus pouchitis in a patient with Crohn's disease.

Colectomy with ileoanal pouch formation is usually contraindicated in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) due to the risk of recurrent disease and pouch failure. We report the case of a patient, initially thought to have ulcerative colitis (UC), who underwent such surgery but subsequently developed perianal CD. She presented with diarrhoea and weight loss.

Study of the population pharmacokinetic characteristics of once-daily trospium chloride 60 mg extended-release capsules in patients with overactive bladder and in healthy subjects.

Background: Overactive bladder is a common disorder that affects approximately 34 million adults in the United States. Anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) agents are the most widely used pharmacological option for overactive bladder.

Objective: This study set out to identify and characterize the influence of a number of intrinsic characteristics on the pharmacokinetics of the anticholinergic agent trospium chloride (Sanctura(®)) 60 mg extended release (XR), and to evaluate the correlation between trospium chloride exposure and key efficacy and safety outcomes in subjects and patients.

Sediment-water distribution of organic contaminants in aquatic ecosystems: the role of organic carbon mineralization.

The distribution between sediments and water plays a key role in the food-chain transfer of hydrophobic organic chemicals. Current models and assessment methods of sediment-water distribution predominantly rely on chemical equilibrium partitioning despite several observations reporting an "enrichment" of chemical concentrations in suspended sediments. In this study we propose and derive a fugacity based model of chemical magnification due to organic carbon decomposition throughout the process of sediment diagenesis.
