Lessons Learned from a Quality Improvement Initiative to Increase COVID-19 Vaccination in Hospitalized Children.

Introduction: Pediatric coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination rates in the United States remain lower compared with adults. We aimed to (1) implement a quality improvement initiative to increase COVID-19 vaccination 2-fold in hospitalized patients 12-21 years of age from 4.7% during the baseline period (August 10, 2021-November 1, 2021) to 9.

Photosynthetic responses to temperature across the tropics: a meta-analytic approach.

Background And Aims: Tropical forests exchange more carbon dioxide (CO2) with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial biome. Yet, uncertainty in the projected carbon balance over the next century is roughly three-times greater for the tropics than other ecosystems. Our limited knowledge of tropical plant physiological responses, including photosynthetic, to climate change is a substantial source of uncertainty in our ability to forecast the global terrestrial carbon sink.

Coordination Between Bioelements Induce More Stable Macroelements Than Microelements in Wetland Plants.

Elements are the basic substances that make up living organisms, and the element composition in plants quantitatively reflect the adaptation of plants to environment. However, the drivers that constitute the species-specific plant elementome, as well as the bivariate bioelemental correlations in determining the stability of different bioelements are yet unclear. Based on 1058 leaf observations of 84 plant species from 232 wetlands across large environmental gradients, we found that bioelements with higher concentration were more stable and evolutionary constrained.
