Department of Biological Sciences, College of Natural Sciences, Redeemer's University, Ede, Osun State, Nigeria.
Bioaerosols, a significant yet underexplored component of atmospheric particulate matter, pose substantial public health risks, particularly in regions with poor air quality. This study investigates the composition of bioaerosols in public spaces, specifically two interstate motor parks and two marketplaces in Osun State, Nigeria, over six months. Air samples were collected, and bacterial and fungal species were identified, focusing on pathogenic organisms.

Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, 1730 Minor Ave., Suite 1360, Seattle, WA, 98101, USA; Department of Biostatistics, University of Washington, 3980 15th Ave. NE, Box 351617, Seattle, WA, 98195, USA.
Objective: Self-harm risk prediction models developed using health system data (electronic health records and insurance claims information) often use patient information from up to several years prior to the index visit when the prediction is made. Measurements from some time periods may not be available for all patients. Using the framework of algorithm-agnostic variable importance, we study the predictive potential of variables corresponding to different time horizons prior to the index visit and demonstrate the application of variable importance techniques in the biomedical informatics setting.

Road salt poses a threat to the quality of soils and water resources. Wetlands located in salt contaminated areas are at risk of experiencing lower plant and animal species diversity. Therefore, it is critical to understand how modifications to salt application rates and hydrological events impact wetland water quality.

Cureus
September 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, USA.
Objective We analyzed changes in reimbursement rates for cardiothoracic surgery procedures from 2013 to 2022 to identify interstate variance and compare changes in reimbursement between procedural groups. Methods The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services database was analyzed to find the 100 highest-grossing cardiothoracic surgery CPT codes from 2013 to 2022. Medicare Administrative Contractor codes were utilized to identify reimbursement for each state.
