Summary Increasingly, river managers are turning from hard engineering solutions to ecologically based restoration activities in order improve degraded waterways. River projects aim maintain or increase ecosystem goods and services while protecting downstream coastal ecosystems. There is growing interest applying techniques solve environmental problems, yet little agreement exists on what constitutes a successful effort. We propose five criteria for measuring success, with emphasis an...
Background Crime and fear of crime may impact negatively on health well-being. Interventions to reduce crime, particularly interventions in the physical environment, be a promising way improve population-level Project components (1) Mapping review theories pathways; (2) systematic effectiveness; (3) UK qualitative data; (4) focus groups interviews with stakeholders. Methods The mapping was pragmatic non-systematic focusing theoretical literature observational quantitative studies development...
Low employment rates of chronically ill and disabled people are serious concern. Being out work increases the risk poverty social exclusion, which may further damage health these groups, exacerbating inequalities. Macro-level policies have a potentially tremendous impact on their chances, influences urgently need to be understood as current economic crisis intensifies. In Part I this two-part study, authors examine trends for who report chronic illness or disability, by gender educational...
Abstract Although public and financial support for stream restoration projects is increasing, long‐term monitoring reporting of project successes failures are limited. We present the initial results a program Lower Red River Meadow Restoration Project in north‐central Idaho, U.S.A. evaluate natural channel design’s effectiveness shifting degraded ecosystem onto path ecological recovery. Field hydrodynamic modeling used to quantify post‐restoration changes 17 physical biological performance...

<h3>Background</h3> The European Respiratory Society guidance on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in children was published 2000. It recommended taking one BAL specimen from the most affected lobe or right middle diffuse disease. In 2007, modified recommendations for with cystic fibrosis (CF), suggesting two specimens (right and lingula lobe). <h3>Objective</h3> To determine if samples lobes give full picture of lower airway infection CF. <h3>Design, setting patients</h3> A retrospective review...
Abstract Hundreds of millions dollars per year are spent on river restoration in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), but little is known about effectiveness this effort. To help address gap, we analyzed a database containing 23,000 projects at 35,000 locations region. We selected subset these for interviews using survey instrument developed by national team scientists. In total, 47 project contacts PNW were interviewed to learn from individuals directly involved restoration. At least one‐third...
Abstract The potential for forest harvest to increase snowmelt rates in maritime snow climates is well recognized. However, questions still exist about the magnitude of peak flow increases basins larger than 10 km 2 and geomorphic biological consequences these changes. In this study, we used observations from two nearly adjacent small (13 30 ) Coeur d'Alene River basin, one with recent, relatively extensive, timber harvest, other little disturbance last 50 years explore changes flows due...
The Stroke of Known Cause and Underlying Atrial Fibrillation (STROKE AF) trial found that approximately 1 in 8 patients with recent ischemic stroke attributed to large- or small-vessel disease had poststroke atrial fibrillation (AF) detected by an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) at 12 months. Identifying predictors AF could be useful when considering ICM routine clinical care.To determine the association between commonly assessed risk factors detection new STROKE cohort monitored ICM.This...
Scaling up clean cooking is a priority to address the substantial health burden from exposure household air pollution resulting burning of polluting fuels. The costs equipment and fuel, as well behaviors, may present barriers adoption sustained use cooking. This paper reports novel qualitative findings Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) evaluating effects innovative energy-efficient pots on LPG for first time in low middle-income setting. Semi-structured interviews (SSIs) were conducted with...
Abstract Background Local health protection systems play a crucial role in infectious disease prevention and control were critical to COVID-19 pandemic responses. Despite this vital function, few studies have explored the lived experience of responders managing COVID-19. We provide new insights by examining how shaped local England. Methods Semi-structured interviews conducted with twenty from three contrasting authority areas, Public Health England (PHE) teams, between June 2021 - March...
