CONTEXT: Although the importance of palliative care (PC) integration in the emergency department (ED) has long been recognized, few formalized programs have been reported, and none have evaluated the experience of ED clinicians with embedded PC.OBJECTIVES: We evaluate the experience of ED clinicians with embedded PC in the ED during the coronavirus disease pandemic.METHODS: ED clinicians completed
Background: Understanding patients' goals and values is important to ensure goal-concordant care; however, such discussions can be challenging. Little is known about the impact of having these discussions on hospitalists. Objective: To assess the impact on hospitalists of a system that reminds them to have serious illness conversations with their patients identified with potential unmet palliative
Building permit processes serve as crucial gatekeepers for urban development, regulating compliance with building codes, land use policies, and safety and environmental standards. However, their complexity can lead to inefficiencies and hinder economic growth. While existing studies have made significant contributions to building permit process research, they often focus on individual countries or
The tazkera (national ID) is Afghanistan’s most important identity document and necessary to receive a variety of government services (e.g. education), employment, or even other identity documents such as passports or driver’s licenses. While the most commonly held identification by Afghans, certain groups own tazkeras far less than do others, especially women and rural, displaced and nomadic popu
With the aim to advance the understanding of immune regulation in MCL and to identify targetable T-cell subsets, we set out to combine image analysis and spatial omic technology focused on both early and late differentiation stages of T cells. MCL patient tissue (n = 102) was explored using image analysis and GeoMx spatial omics profiling of 69 proteins and 1812 mRNAs. Tumor cells, T helper (TH) c
This paper was produced to provide some background for the discussion on a pathway towards ending statelessness and the High Level International Conference on Migration and Statelessness, 23-24 June 2014, Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, hosted by IOM, UNHCR and the Government of Turkmenistan.
BACKGROUND: Pathways for intravenously administered gadolinium-based-contrast-agents (GBCAs) entering cerebrospinal-fluid (CSF) circulation in the human brain are not well-understood. The blood-CSF-barrier (BCSFB) in choroid-plexus (CP) has long been hypothesized to be a main entry-point for intravenous-GBCAs into CSF. Most existing studies on this topic were performed in animals and human patient
At the Nordic Geographers Meeting (NGM) in Copenhagen, June 2024, the Nordic Journal of Urban Studies hosted its inaugural lecture. Dr. Vasna Ramasar, from the Division of Human Ecology at Lund University, shared her insights on responding to urban challenges in the twenty-first century. Her presentation was followed by a conversation with Dr. Anders Lund Hansen, from the journal’s editorial board
Purpose: This paper aims to explore a single-institution case study of partnership working between students, the University and Students’ Union, through four student-led sustainability projects. The paper analyses the role and value of these partnerships and provides advice for other institutions on effective partnership working between these stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach: A single cas
This chapter explores the concept of “activist learning for sustainability” and the role of activism and related pedagogies and the relationship to education for sustainable development (ESD). The chapter will reflect on a case study of student-led activism: the initiation of a “sustainable student house” devised and developed by students to allow them to “live what they are learning” and educate
Alongside associated forms of socially and politically conscious food production, community food growing is routinely connected to a wide range of social and environmental benefits. However, robust evidence in support of these associations remains scant, and while the conversation has shifted in recent years to take account of the sometimes unintended or negative aspects of these activities, no co
