Land cover changes and carbon dynamics in Central India's dry tropical forests: A 25-year assessment and nature-based eco-restoration approaches.

Anthropogenic land use and land cover changes are major drivers of environmental degradation and declining soil health across heterogeneous landscapes in Central India. To examines the land cover changes and spatio-temporal variations in forest carbon stock and soil organic carbon (SOC) over the past 25 years in central India. Geospatial techniques, coupled with ground measurements were employed to detect changes in land cover, carbon stocks in vegetation, and soil carbon in various vegetation types.

A model for managing delirious older inpatients.

Although multiple models of care exist to prevent the development of delirium in hospitalized patients, models for the management of patients for whom delirium is unpreventable or who already have delirium on admission to the hospital are needed. This article describes the development, management, and economics of a new model of care for patients with delirium, called the Delirium Room (DR). The DR is a specialized 4-bed unit that provides 24-hour intensive nursing care and is completely free of physical restraints.
