Urgent care centres for reducing the demand on emergency departments: a scoping review of published quantitative and qualitative studies

AbstractObjectives To find published research that looked at the influence of urgent care centers on the frequency of visits to emergency departments (EDs) or the experiences and perspectives of patients and practitioners on urgent care centers as alternative sources of health care and guidance. Study design: Scoping evaluation of qualitative and quantitative research published till August 28, 2024. Data sources include the MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases, as well as grey literature searches.

Podocyte infolding glomerulopathy after 25 years of clinical remission of lupus nephritis in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus: A case report and review of literature

Podocyte infolding glomerulopathy (PIG) is an uncommon degenerative condition that has lately received more attention. The majority of documented occurrences have been related with connective tissue illnesses, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We present the first instance of Infolding Glomerulopathy linked with SLE in the Middle East.

soil organic carbon in coastal wetland

Tidal marshes, which act as substantial carbon (C) sinks, are under growing threat from global changes such as nitrogen (N) loading and sea-level rise. Our findings revealed that the combined effects of N loading and higher inundation resulted in a novel reaction that could not have been expected by their separate impacts alone, with implications for tidal marsh management under concurrent global change scenarios.

A network of flux towers measures changes in methane fluxes at the ecosystem scale throughout a boreal mire complex

Variations in ecosystem-scale methane fluxes across a boreal mire complex assessed by a network of flux towers

Abstract

This dataset contains high-resolution observations of methane (CH4) fluxes and related environmental factors from a boreal mire complex in northern Sweden. The dataset includes three years of continuous monitoring (2020-2022) using a network of four eddy-covariance flux towers, giving detailed geographical and temporal data on ecosystem-scale methane dynamics.

Dataset Contents

Methane fluxes measured by half-hourly eddy covariance (2020–2022)
2020–2022 environmental drivers include:
Gross primary production
Temperature of the soil
depth of the water table
Methane concentration measurements in peat pores (2022)
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) generated from Sentinel 2 satellites (2020–2022)

FigS1-Clusters

Statistics on seismicity clustering. The left picture depicts the geographic extents of clusters defined by a certain density threshold fth (yellow domains) and recorded earthquakes with mL≥3 (red dots). The upper-right graphic depicts the relative change in the number of earthquakes, σ(c), as described in Equation (2), for several clusters, sorted by the number of earthquakes in each location. To guarantee visibility on the logarithmic x-axis, values for σ(c) = 0 are set to 10−5. The lower-right graphic shows the rank-order distribution of earthquakes across the various clusters.

FigS5-HaichengCCFMD_DK

The pre-mainshock, post-mainshock, and combined pre-mainshock and post-mainshock sequences of the mL 7.4 Haicheng earthquake on February 4, 1975, are shown in Figure S5 as magnitude rank-ordering plots (non-normalized complementary cumulative frequency-magnitude distribution, CCFMD) for various density threshold fth.

Based on the completeness magnitude mc (vertical gray line) and the dragon-king earthquake candidate transition magnitude mt (vertical gray dashed line), the testing framework for the dragon-king earthquake separates the frequency-magnitude distribution into three different regions: the incomplete part (light gray solid circles), the Gutenberg-Richter part (dark gray solid circles), and the dragon-king candidate part (black solid circles).
