  • Enhancing Integration between Physicians and Nurses to Improve the Quality of Health Care

    Open AccessNawaf Alharbi, Nawaf Mutiq Owaytiq Alharbi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Posthumanism2024

    This review examines the impact of physician-nurse integration on healthcare quality, highlighting its importance in modern health systems. It analyzes peer-reviewed literature and reports from leading organizations like the Institute of Medicine and WHO. Key findings show that effective integration leads to improved patient safety, clinical outcomes, patient experience, operational efficiency, and provider well-being. However, barriers like prof…

  • Increased air pollution exposure among the Chinese population during the national quarantine in 2020

    Open AccessHuizhong Shen, Guofeng Shen et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2021References: 38

    The COVID-19 quarantine in China is thought to have reduced ambient air pollution. The overall exposure of the population also depends, however, on indoor air quality and human mobility and activities. Here, by integrating real-time mobility data and a questionnaire survey on time-activity patterns during the pandemic, we show that despite a decrease in ambient PM2.5 during the quarantine, the total population-weighted exposure to PM2.5 consideri…

  • Elucidating emissions control strategies for ozone to protect human health and public welfare within the continental United States

    Open AccessCongmeng Lyu, Shannon L Capps et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Ground-level ozone, which forms photochemically in the atmosphere from precursor emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) and volatile organic compounds, is a criteria pollutant that harms human health and public welfare. For a representative summer episode, premature mortality and potential productivity losses (PPLs) of selected crops and trees attributable to ozone exposure have been quantified using ozone fields from the Community Multiscale Ai…

  • Health benefits of reducing NO x emissions in the presence of epidemiological and atmospheric nonlinearities

    Open AccessAmanda J Pappin, Amir Hakami et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Recent epidemiological evidence suggests that the logarithm of concentration is a better predictor of mortality risk from long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 and NO2 than concentration itself. A log-concentration-response function (CRF) predicts a heightened excess risk per unit concentration at low levels of exposure that further increases as the air becomes less polluted. Using an adjoint air quality model, we estimate the public health benefit…

  • Premature deaths attributed to source-specific BC emissions in six urban US regions

    Open AccessMatthew D Turner, Daven K Henze et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Recent studies have shown that exposure to particulate black carbon (BC) has significant adverse health effects and may be more detrimental to human health than exposure to PM2.5 as a whole. Mobile source BC emission controls, mostly on diesel-burning vehicles, have successfully decreased mobile source BC emissions to less than half of what they were 30 years ago. Quantification of the benefits of previous emissions controls conveys the value of …
