Impact of urban form and street infrastructure on pedestrian-motorist collisions
This study examines the impact of urban form and street infrastructure on pedestrian safety in Atlanta, Georgia, and Boston, Massachusetts. With a significant rise in pedestrian fatalities over the past decade, understanding how cities' built environments influence safety is critical. We conducted geospatial analyses and statistical tests, revealing unique patterns in each city. Atlanta's sprawling, motorist-oriented layout is associated with increased pedestrian accidents, particularly at crosswalks, due to limited land use diversity, arterial roads, and streets with high speed limits and multiple lanes. In contrast, Bost...

Rutaecarpine Alleviates Early Brain Injury-Induced Inflammatory Response Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage via SIRT6/NF-[Formula: see text]B Pathway
Am J Chin Med. 2024 May 16:1-21. doi: 10.1142/S0192415X24500320. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a specific subtype of cerebrovascular accident, is characterized by the extravasation of blood into the interstice between the brain and its enveloping delicate tissues. This pathophysiological phenomenon can precipitate an early brain injury (EBI), which is characterized by inflammation and neuronal death. Rutaecarpine (Rut), a flavonoid compound discovered in various plants, has been shown to have protective effects against SAH-induced cerebral insult in rodent models. In our study, we used a rode...

Is more better? A multilevel analysis of percutaneous coronary intervention hospital openings and closures on patient volumes
CONCLUSIONS: PCI service expansion is associated with increased PCI at low-volume hospitals and a greater number of elective procedures. Increased governmental oversight may be necessary to ensure that openings and closures of these specialized services yield the desired benefits.PMID:38752293 | DOI:10.1111/acem.14926 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)

Pedestrian crash risk analysis using extreme value models: New insights and evidence
Accid Anal Prev. 2024 May 15;203:107633. doi: 10.1016/j.aap.2024.107633. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFacilitating proactive pedestrian safety management, the application of extreme value theory (EVT) models has gained popularity due to its extrapolation capabilities of estimating crashes from their precursors (i.e., conflicts). However, past studies either applied EVT models for crash risk analysis of autonomous vehicle-pedestrian interactions or human-driven vehicle-pedestrian interactions at signalised intersections. However, our understanding of human-driven vehicle-pedestrian interactions remains elusive because of s...

Recent trends in the phytoremediation of radionuclide contamination of soil by cesium and strontium: Sources, mechanisms and methods: A comprehensive review
Chemosphere. 2024 May 13:142273. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142273. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis comprehensive review examines recent trends in phytoremediation strategies to address soil radionuclide contamination by cesium (Cs) and strontium (Sr). Radionuclide contamination, resulting from natural processes and nuclear-related activities such as accidents and the operation of nuclear facilities, poses significant risks to the environment and human health. Cs and Sr, prominent radionuclides involved in nuclear accidents, exhibit chemical properties that contribute to their toxicity, including easy uptake, high ...
