Managing grid impacts from increased electric vehicle adoption in African cities.

Electric vehicles are pivotal for global climate solutions, particularly in emerging markets like Africa. Despite the continent's clean energy potential, electric vehicle adoption faces unique challenges due to inefficiencies and reliability issues of distribution power grids. Here, we analyze the impacts of expanding electric vehicle fleets-private, commercial, and paratransit-on Nairobi's power grid.

Use of web-based decision support to improve informed choice for chemoprevention: a qualitative analysis of pre-implementation interviews (SWOG S1904).

Background: Women with high-risk breast lesions, such as atypical hyperplasia (AH) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), have a 4- to tenfold increased risk of breast cancer compared to women with non-proliferative breast disease. Despite high-quality data supporting chemoprevention, uptake remains low. Interventions are needed to break down barriers.

Management of metacarpal shaft fractures.

Aims: The aims of this study were to describe the epidemiology of metacarpal shaft fractures (MSFs), assess variation in treatment and complications following standard care, document hospital resource use, and explore factors associated with treatment modality.

Methods: A multicentre, cross-sectional retrospective study of MSFs at six centres in the UK. We collected and analyzed healthcare records, operative notes, and radiographs of adults presenting within ten days of a MSF affecting the second to fifth metacarpal between 1 August 2016 and 31 July 2017.

A Qualitative Study of Patients' Lived Experiences of Free Tissue Transfer for Diabetic Foot Disease.

Background: Free tissue transfer (FTT) for reconstruction of diabetic foot disease (DFD) is an emerging field to preserve the lower limb within this patient group. The design of future quantitative research and clinical services in this area must consider the needs, expectations and concerns of patients. This qualitative study explores patient experiences of FTT for reconstruction of DFD.
