Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, health care personnel (HCP) have been at high risk for exposure to SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes COVID-19, through patient interactions and community (1). The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended prioritization of HCP vaccination maintain provision critical services reduce spread infection in settings (2). Early distribution two mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech Moderna) allowed assessment effectiveness these a real-world setting. A...
<title>Abstract</title> The deep cratonic ‘roots’ of Earth's major continents extend over 160 km and have remained stable for more than 2.5 billion years. This longevity is primarily due to the presence low-density, refractory peridotites (harzburgites) that formed by extensive mantle melting in Archean. However, harzburgites from some global cratons (e.g., Kaapvaal, Siberia, Slave, Rae Tanzania) often show unusual enrichments orthopyroxene silica, alongside titanium depletion, which cannot...
Importance Access to COVID-19 testing is critical reducing transmission and supporting early treatment decisions; when made accessible, the timeliness of may also be an important metric in mitigating community spread infection. While disparities outcomes have been well documented, extent association with demographic factors unclear. Objectives To evaluate associated delayed among health care personnel (HCP) during pandemic. Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional study used data...
Access to diagnostic imaging is significantly limited in much of the world, and sub-Saharan Africa no exception. Clinician-performed point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) may provide increased access for many patients low-resource settings, but training this modality limited. We describe development implementation a context-specific, multi-modal pilot POCUS curriculum involving hands-on instruction, in-person online didactics, asynchronous image review, quantitative evaluation. The was...
Coagulopathy is known to be associated with burn injury. Our group has shown that, in spinal cord injury patients, coagulopathy an increase ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). We hypothesized that the same association exists between coagulopathic patients and events.Patients admitted for care January 1, 2011 December 31, 2015 who required mechanical ventilation were included study. Ventilator-associated events (VAEs) as defined by Center Disease Control categorized no event, condition,...
Abstract Background Hospital-based occupational health (HBOH) is uniquely positioned to not only prevent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission, but care for healthcare workers (HCWs) sick with disease 2019 (COVID-19). Aims The primary objective of this study describe a system where HBOH services were adapted provide monitoring programme whereby HCWs SARS-CoV-2 received daily evaluations and treatment options in order improve access care, report the...
Fluid inclusions trapped in fast-growing diamonds provide a unique opportunity to examine the origin of diamonds, and conditions under which they formed.Eclogitic websteritic diamondites from southern Africa show 13 C-depletion 15 N-enrichment relative mantle values (δ C = -4.3 -22.2 ‰ δ N -4.9 +23.2 ‰).In contrast 3 He/ 4 He fluids have strong signature, one sample has highest value so far recorded for African (8.5 ± 0.4 R ).We find no evidence deep these diamondites, or indeed any Africa.A...
Abstract Effective health communication is critically important in times of emergency. From the outset COVID‐19 pandemic, officials at University Alabama Birmingham (UAB) delivered announcements that were timely, transparent, trustworthy and proportional to crisis. Moreover, each announcement contained one or more messages with guidance corresponding varying levels Intervention Ladder. Our team analysed based on eight Ladder compared outcomes between UAB employees residents Alabama, USA....

We present Yottos, an event driven operating system for wireless embedded devices that reduces energy consumption by coalescing tasks into workloads with similar resource requirements thereby reducing time and consumed from power cycling peripherals. With Yottos we target a different group of programmers than the ones well-versed in C, TinyOS Contiki, namely web app developers who on one hand are familiar programming form user interaction events, but other have no experience low-level...
A 43 year old male presented to a community hospital emergency department for evaluation of sudden onset shortness breath, tachycardia, and hypertension. Initial showed an adrenal mass on chest computed tomography. There was biochemical evidence multi organ damage. Patient had elevated plasma metanephrine normametanephrine levels.
