COVID-19 has infected millions of people, with an estimated total dead in the hundreds of thousands. This has significantly impacted health care, including who is delivering it, how it is delivered, and how it is taught. This article describes challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of a Canadian nuclear medicine resident, including new risks with nuclear imaging, navigating new and sometimes challenging guidelines, as well as working and living within the confines of social distancing.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, No. 899, Pinghai Road, Suzhou, 215006, China.
Background: Thoracotomy is a common treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the significant trauma from this procedure can limit patients' postoperative prognosis. Therefore, it's crucial to find an easily detected indicator that can predict the prognosis of NSCLC patients undergoing thoracotomy.

Department of Neurosurgery, Shanghai East Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai200120, China.
Objectives: Compared with first-tier cities in China that are of abundant funds and resources like legions of high-level hospitals, the degree of nurses' disaster nursing preparedness in non-first-tier cities (inland) is relatively lower. For example, nurses' knowledge reserve of specific disasters is not comprehensive enough. And nurses are diffident when it comes to the skills of handling disaster rescue.

Background: Little attention has been paid to the experiences of clinicians and health personnel who provide heroin-assisted treatment (HAT). This study provides the first empirical findings about the clinicians' experiences of providing HAT in the Norwegian context.
Methods: 23 qualitative interviews were conducted with 31 clinicians shortly after HAT clinics opened in Norway's two largest cities: Oslo and Bergen.
A Janus Separator Regulating Zinc Deposition Behavior Synergistically by Cellulose and ZrO Nanoparticles Toward High-Performance Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries.

Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory (SLAB), Dongguan, 523808, P. R. China.
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) stand out among many energy storage systems due to their many merits, and it's expected to become an alternative to the prevailing alkali metal ion batteries. Nevertheless, the cumbersome manufacturing process and the high cost of conventional separators make them unfavorable for large-scale applications. Herein, inspired by the unique nature of cellulose and ZrO, a Janus cellulose fiber (CF)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/ZrO separator is prepared via the vacuum filtration method.

Iron and zinc are two metal ions with important roles in biology, industry and the environment, however, the excess or deficiency of both Fe and Zn can have negative effects on organisms and environment. Therefore, the development of efficient method for simultaneous detection of Fe and Zn provides timely information on metal content, simplifies operations and improves efficiency. In this work, a small molecule (COOH-BPEA) of recognizing Zn modified the four metal-organic-framework (MOF) (UiO-66-X(66, OH, NH and OH/NH)) was developed for the simultaneous detection of Fe and Zn.
