On April 2, 2014, in Fort Hood, Texas, an active shooter incident occurred where four active duty soldiers were tragically killed. Active shooter incidents are becoming alarmingly more frequent over the last decade in the USA. The authors provide a detailed account of the events that occurred within the hospital and an evaluation of the triage decisions made on that day. A detailed review of mass casualty preparedness and the general approach to triage processes are also described.

Immigration and emigration are key demographic processes of animal population dynamics. However, we have limited knowledge on how fine-scale movement varies over space and time. We developed a Bayesian integrated population model using individual mark-recapture and count data to characterize fine-scale movement of stream fish at 20-m resolution in a 740-m study area every two months for 28 months.

The lesser prairie-chicken () has experienced declines due to habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation in addition to substantial population fluctuations with unknown effects on genetic diversity. Our objectives were to: (i) compare genetic diversity across three temporally discrete sampling periods (2002, 2007-2010, and 2013-2014) that are characterized by low or high population abundance; (ii) examine genetic diversity at lek and lek cluster spatial scales; (ii) identify potential bottlenecks and characterize genetic structure and relatedness; and (iii) estimate the regional .

Few studies have focused on the infectious complications in kidney transplant recipients in tropical regions, particularly in the Caribbean. The primary objective of this study was to determine the incidence of bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections in kidney transplant recipients in the French Caribbean and French Guiana. We included all patients who received a kidney transplant at the University Hospital of Guadeloupe between January 2014 and October 2016, with post-transplant follow-up in the French Caribbean.

Since 2011, Caribbean territories have experienced massive and repeated sargassum seaweed inundations. Once on shore, sargassum degradation through anaerobic metabolism elicits the release of many noxious molecules, including hydrogen sulfide (HS) and ammonia (NH). HS has been long recognized as a malodorous and highly toxic gas, while chronic exposure has not been extensively explored.

Objectives: To determine the use of epidural anesthesia compared with regional anesthesia as an adjunct to general anesthesia in thoracic surgery over time, and compare length of stay, overall morbidity, serious morbidity, and mortality between epidural and regional anesthesia when utilized as adjuncts to general anesthesia in thoracic surgery.
Design: Retrospective data analysis from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Project data registry, years 2014 to 2022.
Setting: Over 800 U.
