Analysing the behaviour of Sr and stable Sr in highly weathered soils: Soil to plant transfer factor and geochemical partitioning.

Public concerns over environmental protection have increased after Fukushima accident. The soil-plant transfer factor (Fv) is a critical parameter for environmental risk assessment. Cs Fv values determined in acid Brazilian soils could be two orders of magnitude higher than Fv values measured in soils affected by the Chernobyl accident.

Medical director presence and time in U.S. nursing homes, 2017-2023.

Background: Federal regulations require all nursing homes to have a medical director, where medical directors oversee resident medical care and develop, implement, and evaluate resident care policies and procedures that reflect current standards of practice.

Methods: This descriptive study examined medical director: (1) presence or absence and the amount of time spent from 2017 to 2023; (2) presence and time by ownership type; (3) variations in presence and time across states; and (4) overall CMS deficiencies for violations of medical director regulations. This study used federal Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) data on staffing positions for the period of 2017-2023, along with federal nursing home ownership data and deficiencies data for 2023.
