Health impact assessment in relation to other forms of impact assessment [PDF]

Journal of Public Health, 2003
Health impact assessment (HIA) has many advocates for its use to identify and optimize the health effects of non-healthcare interventions. It is an assessment of the health effects, positive and negative, of a project, programme, or policy. Expertise developed in the United Kingdom from a realization that health impacts are often overlooked during the ...

Sulfonylurea herbicides in groundwater: frequent occurrence of nicosulfuron and its sulfonamide metabolite ASDM in areas with maize cultivation

Environmental Sciences Europe
Background Sulfonylurea and other herbicides inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS) are mobile compounds that may leach to groundwater, as indicated by computer simulations of predicted environmental concentrations (PECgw) for authorization in

Numerical Simulation on the Diffusion of Alien Phytoplankton in Bohai Bay

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In order to investigate the motion feature of alien phytoplankton in the Bohai Bay area, this manuscript builds a two-dimensional tide hydrodynamic model coupled with a particle tracking model to simulate the alien phytoplankton movement trajectory and ...

Assessing LEDBAT's Delay Impact [PDF]

IEEE Communications Letters, 2013
The major goal of the LEDBAT congestion control mechanism is to limit the amount of queuing delay that it causes. Using simulations, we show two aspects of the mechanism that may sometimes make LEDBAT's delay impact quite significant: first, it updates its "base delay" every 10 minutes, but may measure its own induced delay in doing so, even in the ...

Bridging the Loneliness Gap: Depression, Connectivity, and Isolation in Pediatric Oncology Patients and Their Peers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Impact of short-term exposure to air pollution on natural mortality and vulnerable populations: a multi-city case-crossover analysis in Belgium

Environmental Health
Background The adverse effect of air pollution on mortality is well documented worldwide but the identification of more vulnerable populations at higher risk of death is still limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between natural

Comparative Drug Response Profiling in Neuroblastoma Cell Lines and Patient‐Derived Tumor Organoids

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐risk neuroblastoma remains a leading cause of pediatric cancer mortality, and improved preclinical models are needed to guide therapeutic developments. We screened seven high‐risk neuroblastoma cell lines and three patient‐derived tumor organoids with 528 compounds alongside bone marrow controls, and compared them with external datasets ...
