Effectiveness of Closed Blood-Sampling Devices in Critically Ill Adults: A Feasibility Trial. [PDF]

Nurs Crit Care
ABSTRACT Background Anaemia in critically ill patients is often worsened by diagnostic blood sampling. Closed blood sampling devices (CBSDs) may reduce iatrogenic blood loss and transfusion needs. However, robust evidence of their effectiveness and feasibility in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting is lacking.

Leveraging Community-Based System Dynamics to Understand Long Covid Disparities in African American Communities: A Model for Health Equity Research. [PDF]

Health Expect
ABSTRACT Background Long Covid disproportionately affects African American communities, exacerbating pre‐existing health disparities and systemic barriers to care. Conventional public health interventions often fail to address the complex systemic issues at play due to a lack of grounding in community‐certified knowledge about the broader societal ...

Cassava Brown Streak Disease Response and Association With Agronomic Traits in Elite Nigerian Cassava Cultivars

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) and cassava brown streak viruses (CBSVs) cause the highest yield losses in cassava production in Africa. In particular, cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is and continues to be a significant constraint to optimal ...

Structural and social determinants of dementia risk among adults racialized as Black: Results from a community-based system dynamics approach. [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) disproportionately affect Black Americans compared to non‐Hispanic White individuals. We examined perceived dementia risk factors among Black adults in St. Louis via a participatory approach. METHODS In 36 community‐based system dynamics workshops (CBSD), 234 participants co‐created
