The Chicago area locks separate and control water flow between the freshwaters of Lake Michigan and the network of Illinois waterways. Under extreme storm conditions, however, the locks are opened and storm waters, untreated waste, and runoff are released directly into the lake. These combined sewer overflow (CSO) events introduce microbes, viruses, and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous into nearshore waters which likely affect the native species. We collected surface water samples from four Chicago area beaches - Gillson Park, Montrose Beach, 57th Street Beach, and Calumet Beach - every two weeks from May 13 through August 5, 2014. Sampling was conducted with four biological replicates for each sampling date and location, resulting in 112 samples. Each community was surveyed through targeted sequencing of the V4 16S rRNA gene. Technical replicates were also sequenced and are included in this dataset. Taxa were identified using Mothur. Raw sequence data is available via NCBI׳s SRA database (part of BioProject PRJNA245802).

Veteran and healthcare team perspectives on the TeleWound Practice Program within the Veterans Health Administration.
J Wound Care
January 2025
Center of Innovation for Complex Chronic Healthcare, Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital, Hines, IL, US.
Objective: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) recently piloted the implementation of the TeleWound Practice Program (TWP), which provides interprofessional wound care to Veterans remotely. We assessed the perceptions of Veterans and healthcare team members (HCTMs), and their experiences with the TWP.
Method: We surveyed Veterans from four VHA medical centres who had received at least one TWP visit between 1 May 2020 and 31 May 2021, and HCTMs associated with any TWP encounter between 1 September 2019 and 31 March 2021.
Five principles to prioritise in small-scale surgical quality improvement: a qualitative study of the views of surgical improvement leaders.
BMJ Open Qual
January 2025
Strangeways Research Laboratory, Cambridge, UK.
Objective: Variations in the quality and safety of surgical care remain persistent. Efforts to improve are needed, but are themselves variably effective, with often disappointing impacts. When compared with large-scale, multisite and better resourced improvement efforts, the evidence base for small-scale quality improvement (QI) has remained under-developed and lacking in clarity on good practice.

Thoracic Surgery Branch, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA.
Background: The benefit of pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) with isolated lung metastases remains unclear and failure to separate colon from rectal cancer may contribute. Utilizing a large national database, we investigate whether PM is associated with survival benefits in patients presenting with CRC with synchronous lung metastases based upon primary tumor location.
Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2010 to 2015 was queried to identify patients with stage IV CRC with isolated synchronous lung metastases at initial diagnosis.
The unequal adoption of ChatGPT exacerbates existing inequalities among workers.

Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen 1353, Denmark.
We study the adoption of ChatGPT, the icon of Generative AI, using a large-scale survey linked to comprehensive register data in Denmark. Surveying 18,000 workers from 11 exposed occupations, we document that ChatGPT is widespread, especially among younger and less-experienced workers. However, substantial inequalities have emerged.

MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions, St. Michael's Hospital Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Latina women in the United States experience intimate partner violence (IPV) at high rates, but evidence suggests Latinas seek help for IPV at lower rates than other communities. Safety planning is an approach that provides those experiencing IPV with concrete actions to increase their safety and referrals to formal services. While safety planning is shown to reduce future incidences of violence, little is known about the safety planning priorities of Latinas.
