Background: Peak-width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD), a neuroimaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), has shown excellent instrumental properties. Here, we extend our work to perform a biological validation of PSMD.
Methods: We included 396 participants from the Biomarkers for Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (MarkVCID-1) Consortium and three replication samples (Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology = 6172, Rush University Medical Center = 287, University of California Davis Alzheimer's Disease Research Center = 567).
Background: Household transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is a driver of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding factors that contribute to secondary infection risks (SIRs) can define changing trends and inform public health policies.
Methods: The ORegon CHild Absenteeism due to Respiratory Disease Study (ORCHARDS) prospectively monitors respiratory viruses within the Oregon School District (OSD) in southcentral Wisconsin.
Organic aerosol formation from 222 nm germicidal light: ozone-initiated non-ozone pathways.
Environ Sci Process Impacts
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Germicidal ultraviolet lamps (GUV) at 222 nm can effectively kill airborne pathogens, making them valuable for disease control while being safe for human skin exposure.
- - Recent research reveals that these lamps can produce ozone and secondary pollutants like secondary organic aerosol (SOA), raising concerns about their health impacts alongside their benefits.
- - Experiments show that GUV light leads to unique particle formation patterns that differ from those generated by ozone alone, suggesting the need for careful regulation of GUV exposure levels to minimize harmful air pollution.
Background And Aims: This study assesses the attitudes of healthcare practitioners toward Living Donation Prior to Planned Withdrawal of Care (LD-PPW): the recovery of a living donor organ before withdrawal of life-sustaining measures in a patient who does not meet criteria for brain death, but for whom medical care toward meaningful recovery is deemed futile.
Methods: An electronic survey was administered to 1735 members of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons mailing list with 187 responses (10.8%).
