Detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral genome in wastewater has proven to be useful for tracking the trends virus prevalence within community. The surveillance also provides precise and early detection any new circulating variants, which aids response outbreaks. Site-specific monitoring SARS-CoV-2 variants valuable information on or emerging We sequenced genomic RNA viruses present samples analyzed as well other a period one year account seasonal...
This research evaluated the relationship between daily new Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) concentrations in wastewater, followed by effects of differential SARS-CoV-2 shedding loads across various COVID-19 outbreaks. Linear regression analyses were utilized to examine lead time signal wastewater relative clinical cases. During Delta wave, no was evident, highlighting limited predictive capability monitoring during this phase....
Abstract Purpose The management of inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is among the most challenging surgical procedures. We aimed to define a minimum annual caseload for sufficient expertise. Methods identified all cases RCC, nephrectomy, and IVC procedures Federal Statistical Office billing database (2006–2020). defined hospital categories as low (< 4 cases), medium (4–9 cases) high (> 9 volume. Logistic multivariate models...
There have been multiple reports of COVID-19 virus, SARS-CoV-2 RNA presence in influent wastewater water reclamation facilities (WRFs) across the world. In this study, removal was investigated a WRF by collecting samples from various stages relayed to hydraulic retention time (HRT) and analyzed for viral (N1 N2) gene markers characteristics. detected 28 out primary effluent samples. Secondary showed 4 9 positive samples, all tertiary final were below detection limit markers. The reduction...
A triple bottom line (TBL) approach was used to examine the trade-offs between potential reclaimed water management strategies in a closed basin. The goals of strategy included minimizing source shortages, ensuring safe and resilient future supplies, protecting inland ecosystems through adequate surface flows. TBL consisted quantitative qualitative impact assessments social, environmental, economic criteria. This research examined how potable reuse addresses needs basin such as maintaining...
Ozone-biological activated carbon (ozone-BAC)-based technologies are emerging as an appealing option for potable reuse systems; however, uncertainty remains regarding the reduction of waterborne pathogens. Common log requirements have been modeled after California Department Drinking Water's 12-10-10 value (LRV) enteric virus, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia, respectively. The objective this research was to investigate appropriate LRVs pathogens that can be achieved in ozone-BAC-based treatment...
Abstract The study evaluated the removal efficacy of per‐ and poly‐fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) across various advanced water treatment (AWT) processes in a field‐scale AWT train using secondary effluent samples from full‐scale reclamation facility (WRF). Samples collected April to October 2020 revealed PFCAs as dominant PFAS compounds WRF effluent, with PFPeA having highest average concentration PFSAs notably lower amounts. Temporal fluctuations total concentrations peaked September 2020,...

Abstract This study investigated the occurrence of Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and Pepper mild mottle (PMMoV) as well bacteriophages (e.g., Escherichia MS2 BZ13 virus) in untreated wastewater evaluated their potential viral indicators surrogates to assess water quality during treatment. ToBRFV was quantified by RT-qPCR identified whole genome sequencing using two diagnostic sample processing methods: an RVP panel a enrichment method. Our found that both methods revealed high...
This research evaluated the relationship between daily new COVID-19 cases and SARS-CoV-2 concentrations in wastewater, followed by effects of differential shedding loads across various outbreaks. Linear regression analyses were utilized to examine lead time signal wastewater relative clinical cases. During Delta wave, no was evident, highlighting limited predictive capability monitoring during this phase. However, Omicron wave demonstrated significant times, potentially attributed testing...
This research investigated the removal of contaminants emerging concern (CECs) and characterized microbial community across an advanced water treatment (AWT) system consisting Coagulation/Flocculation/Clarification/Granular Media Filtration (CFCGMF), Ozone-Biological Activated Carbon (O3/BAC), Granular filtration, Ultraviolet Disinfection, Cartridge (GAC/UV/CF). The AWT successfully met goals CECs bulk organics removal. at each step was using 16S rRNA sequencing on Illumina MiSeq platform...
Background: Inaccurate assessment of maternal blood pressure (BP) contributes to misdiagnosis hypertension, unnecessary or missed interventions, and morbidity. This study examines obstetric nursing knowledge confidence in proper BP before after an institutional quality improvement project.Methods: We implemented online educational initiative our women’s health unit based on the American Heart Association’s Blood Pressure Improvement Program. Simultaneously, a standard cuff sizing by arm...
