Primary care provider-led cancer survivorship care in the first 5 years following initial cancer treatment: a scoping re...

Published in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice

To synthesize the barriers to primary care provider (PCP)-led cancer survivorship care (≤ 5 years after initial cancer treatment) experienced by healthcare systems around the world, and to explore potential solutions that would succeed within a developed country. A scoping review of peer-reviewed articles and grey literature was conducted. Four ele...

The plastic pandemic: COVID-19 has accelerated plastic pollution, but there is a cure.

Published in The Science of the total environment

Plastic pollution is now present in all areas of our planet, including its last wilderness, Antarctica, and the plastic crisis has further escalated because of COVID-19. The pandemic has caused a significant increase in the global consumption of single-use protective items such as masks and gloves. These and other plastic items add to the suite of ...

The Donnan potential revealed.

Selective transport of solutes across a membrane is critical for many biological, water treatment and energy conversion and storage systems. When a charged membrane is equilibrated with an electrolyte, an unequal distribution of ions arises between phases, generating the so-called Donnan electrical potential at the solution/membrane interface. The ...

Coupled Interfacial and Bulk Kinetics Govern the Timescales of Multiphase Ozonolysis Reactions.

Chemical transformations in aerosols impact the lifetime of particle phase species, the fate of atmospheric pollutants, and both climate- and health-relevant aerosol properties. Timescales for multiphase reactions of ozone in atmospheric aqueous phases are governed by coupled kinetic processes between the gas phase, the particle interface, and its ...

Crustwater: Modeling Hydrophobic Solvation.

We describe Crustwater, a statistical mechanical model of nonpolar solvation in water. It treats bulk water using the Cage Water model and introduces a crust, i.e., a solvation shell of coordinated partially structured waters. Crustwater is analytical and fast to compute. We compute here solvation vs temperature over the liquid range, and vs pressu...

Challenges of lung transplantation in India.

Published in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery

Lung transplantation (LTx) is the definitive treatment for select progressive end-stage lung disease patients despite being on optimum medical therapy. Asian countries like China, Japan and India have started LTx programmes despite various odds and challenges. Some of these challenges seem to be unique to developing countries. We have elaborated th...

Restricted Eating in Preschoolers with Autism: Mother Stressors and Solutions.

Published in Journal of autism and developmental disorders

Feeding interventions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) focus solely on the child, not the family milieu. This qualitative study aimed to understand mothers' perspectives on managing restricted eating among preschoolers with ASD. Focus groups were conducted with eleven mothers of preschoolers with ASD. Audio recordings were transcrib...

Methods to stabilize aqueous supercooling identified by use of an isochoric nucleation detection (INDe) device.

Stable aqueous supercooling has shown significant potential as a technique for human tissue preservation, food cold storage, conservation biology, and beyond, but its stochastic nature has made its translation outside the laboratory difficult. In this work, we present an isochoric nucleation detection (INDe) platform for automated, high-throughput ...

An Analysis of the Perceptions of Incivility in Higher Education.

Published in Journal of academic ethics

The aim of this study was to understand how incivility is viewed across multiple academic programs and respondent subgroups where different institutional and cultural power dynamics may influence the way students and faculty perceive uncivil behaviors. This study used the Conceptual Model for Fostering Civility in Nursing Education as its guiding f...
