Is conservation triage just smart decision making? | LitMetric

Conservation efforts and emergency medicine face comparable problems: how to use scarce resources wisely to conserve valuable assets. In both fields, the process of prioritising actions is known as triage. Although often used implicitly by conservation managers, scientists and policymakers, triage has been misinterpreted as the process of simply deciding which assets (e.g. species, habitats) will not receive investment. As a consequence, triage is sometimes associated with a defeatist conservation ethic. However, triage is no more than the efficient allocation of conservation resources and we risk wasting scarce resources if we do not follow its basic principles.

Background: Despite vaccination programs and available treatments, seasonal influenza carries a large mortality burden, especially in intensive care unit (ICU) settings. Understanding the influenza mortality burden in ICU settings can inform treatment planning and resource allocation. Nonetheless, surveillance data on mortality in ICU-admitted patients are scarce and estimates vary greatly.

Background: Timely administration of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) birth dose vaccine, along with identifying high-risk pregnant individuals for antiviral prophylaxis, is essential for the global elimination of vertical transmission of HBV. However, in resource-limited settings, access to HBV DNA testing is scarce, and accurate rapid tests for HBeAg are lacking. We aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of a newly developed hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg) rapid diagnostic test (RDT) to identify women who are HBsAg-positive and eligible for antiviral prophylaxis.

The lessons learned from combat casualties have positioned the US Department of Defense to pioneer advancements in trauma management practices. However, for foreign military partner forces, basic tactical or combat trauma care management remains suboptimal. For these partners, the primary challenges facing combat trauma training are availability of equipment, previous knowledge scope, baseline education of partner force, and training management.

To address the ecological issues in water-deficient abandoned mining areas caused by outdated resource development methods and lack of environmental protection and to improve the comprehensive utilization rate of the "three wastes" in mining, this study investigated a sand-fixing and water-retention technology using sludge acrylic water-absorbing resins. An ecological restoration strategy system for water-deficient abandoned mining areas in Northwestern China based on water-retention materials was proposed. The ecological restoration performance of the sludge acrylic water-absorbing resins was compared with that of microbial ecological restoration technology.

Olive mill wastewater (OMW), a by-product of olive oil production, poses significant environmental risks due to its acidity and high polyphenol content, particularly in water-scarce regions like Jordan. This study developed a cost-effective approach to reduce the phenolic content in OMW using modified granular-activated carbon (GAC). Commercial GAC, chosen for its high surface area and adsorption capacity, was modified via oxidative treatment with concentrated nitric acid and reductive treatment using 10 wt.
