Drinking water chlorination plays a pivotal role in preventing pathogen contamination against water-borne disease. However, chemical disinfection leads to the formation of halogenated by products (DBPs). Many DBPs are highly toxic and health concern. In this study, we conducted comprehensive measurements DBPs, including iodoacetic acid (IAA), iodoform (IF), nine haloacetic acids four trihalomethanes drinking waters from 13 plants Shanghai, China. The results suggested that IAA IF were found...
Abstract Background Different water choices affect access to drinking with different quality. Previous studies suggested social-economic status may the choice of domestic water. The aim this study is investigate whether recent social economic changes in China residents’ choices. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey consumption behaviour 2011. Gender, age, education, personal income, housing condition, risk perception and preference certain type were selected as potential influential...
In recent years, China's developed regions have transferred industries to undeveloped regions. Large numbers of unlicensed or unregistered enterprises are widespread in these and they subject minimal regulation. Current methods for tracing industrial transfers areas, based on enterprise registration information economic surveys, do not work. We an analytical framework combining water fingerprinting evolutionary analysis trace the pollution transfer features between sources. collected samples...
The disinfection byproducts 3-chloro-4-dichloromethyl-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (MX) and microcystins-LR (MC-LR), which are common contaminants in drinking water, often occur together water sources areas with high gastrointestinal tract cancer risks. While studied alone, combination effects of these compounds unknown. Here, we examine combined genotoxic responses to mixtures MX MC-LR using the Ames test, a cytokinesis-block micronuclei assay, comet assay analysis for interactions by...
Phenomenon: Professionalism is integral to the role of physician. Most professionalism assessments in medical training are delayed until clinical rotations where multisource feedback available. This leaves a gap student assessment portfolios and potentially delays professional development.A total 246 second-year students (2013-2015) completed self- peer behaviors 2 courses following series Team-Based Learning exercises. Correlation regression analyses were used examine alignment or...
There are relatively few tools available for computing and visualizing similarities among complex mixtures in correlating the chemical composition clusters with toxicological of mixtures. Using "intersection union ratio (IUR)" other traditional distance matrices on contaminant profiles 33 specific water samples, we used "pollution trees" to compare these The constructed by neighbor-joining (NJ), maximum parsimony (MP), likelihood (ML) methods allowed comparison samples. mutagenicity each...
Transitioning from one electronic health record (EHR) system to another is of the most disruptive events in care and research about its impact on patient experience for inpatient limited. This study aimed assess transitioning EHR measured by Hospital Consumer Assessment Healthcare Providers Systems composites global items. An interrupted time series was conducted evaluate quarter-specific changes following implementation a new at Midwest during 2017 2018. First quarter post-implementation...
There is evidence of geographic disparities in COVID-19 hospitalization risks that, if identified, could guide control efforts. Therefore, the objective this study was to investigate Zip Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA)-level and identify predictors St. Louis area.Hospitalization data for several chronic diseases were obtained from Missouri Hospital Association. ZCTA-level on socioeconomic demographic factors American Community Survey. Geographic distribution age-adjusted risks, as well disease...
Background While previous studies identified risk factors for diverse pregnancy outcomes, traditional statistical methods had limited ability to quantify their impacts on birth outcomes precisely. We aimed use a novel approach that applied different machine learning models not only predict but systematically the of pre- and post-conception serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels other predictive characteristics outcomes. Methods used data from women who gave in Shanghai First Maternal...
Aims This study described treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs among advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (a/mNSCLC) patients with different epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation types.
This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate all-cause healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and costs in commercially insured patients living with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) explore end-of-life (EOL)-related HCRU costs. Data from the IQVIA PharMetrics® Plus database (October 2014 May 2020) were analyzed identify adults (≥18 years) PAH (PAH cohort) those without PH (non-PH cohort). Patients required have data for ≥12 months before (baseline) ≥6 after (follow-up) first...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has lasted much longer than an influenza season, but the main signs, symptoms, and some imaging findings are similar in COVID-19 patients. aim of current study was to construct accurate robust model for initial screening differential diagnosis A.
Background: The outbreak of COVID-19 overlaps with the usual flu season, and main signs, symptoms imaging manifestations in infections share similarity. This study is aimed to constructed an accurate robust model for initial screening differential diagnosis influenza A, so as provide effective tool global prevention control outbreak.Methods: 151 patients 155 A Fuyang No.2 People's Hospital were included randomly assigned a 4:1 ratio train set test set. Univariate logistic regression analysis...
Background: Research indicates that exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can cause neurobehavioral impairments in neonates and adults, but the way specific PCBs’ congeners impact cognition functions at a low level real-life co-exposure system remains poorly understood. This study aimed investigate association of PCBs burden with function among elderly adults. Methods: Based on Weitang Geriatric Diseases (2014−2015), current measured plasma concentrations six indicator-PCBs by...
