Bioremediation of degraded soils is increasingly necessary due to rising food demand, reductions in agricultural productivity, and limitations in total available arable area. Several bioremediation strategies could be utilized to combat soil degradation, with phytoremediation emerging as a standout option due to its in situ approach and low implementation and maintenance costs compared to other methods. Phytoremediation is also a sustainable solution, which is increasingly desirable to blunt the progression of global warming.

Background: Emergency physicians must choose whether patients with asthma are admitted to a hospital ward or a higher level of care, such as an intermediate care unit (IMC) or intensive care unit (ICU).

Objective: This study aimed to determine which variables, available early during emergency department (ED) visits, are associated with IMC/ICU admission.

Methods: In this retrospective chart review (records from 2015-2018), two trained abstractors, blinded to study hypothesis, abstracted data on predictor variables and disposition (ward vs.

Background: Some admitting physicians request a medication-free interval ("spacing trial") in the emergency department (ED) to determine whether a patient with an acute exacerbation of asthma can be safely admitted to a hospital ward bed, where bronchodilators are only available every 4 h.

Objective: Our objectives were to estimate the frequency of ED spacing trials in different hospitals and their associated time cost.

Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study examined patients admitted for asthma from 2015 to 2018.

Background: Ambulation is an essential aspect of daily living and is often impaired after brain and spinal cord injuries. Despite the implementation of standard neurorehabilitative care, locomotor recovery is often incomplete.

Objective: In this randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind, parallel design study, we aimed to determine if anodal transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (anodal tsDCS) could improve training effects on locomotion compared to sham (sham tsDCS) in healthy subjects.
