Hematology, Plasma Biochemistry, Protein Electrophoresis, and Pathogen Surveillance in Headstarted and Wild-Reared Populations of Blanding's Turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) in Three Northern Illinois, USA, Counties.

Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) are a species of conservation concern throughout their natural range. Headstarting is a common chelonian conservation technique in which neonates are reared in managed-care settings before release, but health assessments are rarely incorporated. From 2020 to 2021 we assessed headstarted turtle health pre-release and 1 mo, 1 yr, and 2 yr after release using physical examination, hematology, plasma biochemistry, protein electrophoresis, and pathogen detection.

Predicting Unplanned Trauma ICU Admissions for Initial Nonoperative, Non-ICU Patients.

Introduction: Unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admissions are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study uses interpretable machine learning to predict unplanned ICU admissions for initial nonoperative trauma patients admitted to non-ICU locations.

Methods: TQIP (2020-2021) was queried for initial nonoperative adult patients admitted to non-ICU locations.

Health professionals' experiences and implications of a technology-focused service within a rehabilitation setting.

Purpose: Both demand and need for assistive technology (AT) are growing worldwide. However, ensuring an optimal fit between the person and AT is complex. With health professionals often being the "gatekeeper" to AT, it is imperative to understand their experiences of AT.
