Amid rising congestion and transport emissions, policymakers are embracing the '15-minute city' model, which envisions neighbourhoods where basic needs can be met within a short walk from home. Prior research has primarily examined amenity access without exploring its relationship to behaviour. We introduce a measure of local trip behaviour using GPS data from 40 million US mobile devices, defining '15-minute usage' as the proportion of consumption-related trips made within a 15-minute walk from home. Our findings show that the median resident makes only 14% of daily consumption trips locally. Differences in access to local amenities can explain 84% and 74% of the variation in 15-minute usage across and within urban areas, respectively. Historical data from New York zoning policies suggest a causal relationship between local access and 15-minute usage. However, we find a trade-off: increased local usage correlates with higher experienced segregation for low-income residents, signalling potential socio-economic challenges in achieving local living.

Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed patient experiences with remote telemonitoring during GI oncologic surgery, highlighting improved communication and access to healthcare providers for those in the intervention group who received extra nursing support.
- - Out of 114 patients, 100 participated in exit interviews, revealing that 94% of those in the intervention group found the data reporting easier compared to 69% in standard care, with key themes of positivity towards recovery and timely healthcare responses.
- - Overall, patients reported high satisfaction with the telemonitoring program, suggesting that it could be beneficial for future patient care and recovery strategies.
Dose Estimation Utility in a Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Inhaled Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol Cannabis Market Products in Occasional and Daily Users.

Background: Unusually high variability in blood Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentrations have been observed in subjects inhaling similar cannabis products over similar time periods when consumption is ad libitum. This makes simple gravimetric dose estimation a poor predictor of THC exposure. Population pharmacokinetic analyses of blood THC concentration versus time data are routinely used to estimate pharmacokinetic parameters.

Background: Tourniquet-related nerve ischemia has been well studied in several reconstructive procedures, but the time-course of impaired response to intraoperative stimulation is unclear. The present study evaluated ischemic effects on conduction during ulnar nerve transposition and examined the relationship between intra- and pre- operative diagnostics. We hypothesized that intraoperative ischemia would have minimal impact on conduction.

Introduction: Cannabis use is a growing concern in transportation and workplace incidents. Because Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol is detectable after acute psychoactive effects have resolved, it has limitations as an indicator of recent usage or potential impairment.
Methods: In an observational study of driving and psychomotor performance, we measured whole blood Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol plus its metabolites 11-hydroxy-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol and 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry at baseline and 30 min after starting a 15-minute interval of smoking cannabis in 24 occasional and 32 daily cannabis smokers.
