Background: Particulate matter with diameters ≤2.5 μm (PM) is a significant air pollutant associated with hypertension and diabetes. However, the specific contributions of its components and their joint exposure with green spaces remain poorly understood, especially in developing regions.

Quantifying source contributions to indoor PM levels by indoor PM sources has been limited by the costs associated with chemical speciation analyses of indoor PM samples. Here, we propose a new methodology to estimate this contribution. We applied FUzzy SpatioTemporal Apportionment (FUSTA) to a database of indoor and outdoor PM concentrations in school classrooms plus surface meteorological data to determine the main spatiotemporal patterns (STPs) of PM.

Article Synopsis
- * A study conducted in four northern Chinese cities utilized satellite-based models to analyze PM compositions like sulfate and nitrate, and their links to cardiorespiratory mortality over almost 786,000 person-years.
- * Results indicated significant risk increases associated with PM, especially sulfate exposure, contributing the most to deaths from nonaccidental causes, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and lung cancer, with income and education levels affecting vulnerability.

Background And Purpose: Orthopedic trainees must be able to perform intraoperative fluoroscopy imaging to assess the surgical result after volar locking plate surgeries of distal radius fractures. Guided by Messick's contemporary validity framework, the aim of our study was to gather evidence of validity for a test of proficiency for intraoperative imaging of a distal radius fracture using a novel immersive virtual reality simulator.
Methods: 11 novices and 9 experienced surgeons employed at orthopedic departments completed 2 individual simulator sessions.
Setting proficiency standards for simulation-based mastery learning of short antegrade femoral nail osteosynthesis: a multicenter study.

Background And Purpose: Orthopedic trainees frequently perform short antegrade femoral nail osteosynthesis of trochanteric fractures, but virtual reality simulation-based training (SBT) with haptic feedback has been unavailable. We explored a novel simulator, with the aim of gathering validity evidence for an embedded test and setting a credible pass/fail standard allowing trainees to practice to proficiency.
Patients And Methods: The research, conducted from May to September 2020 across 3 Danish simulation centers, utilized the Swemac TraumaVision simulator for short antegrade femoral nail osteosynthesis.
