    Abstract Objective: Following sports injury, a timely and accurate diagnosis is important, so as to initiate appropriate care as soon as possible. This is perhaps even more paramount in pediatric athletic trauma, particularly during the pre-puberty through adolescent years of rapid skeletal growth. This paper presents the diagnosis and management of osteochondritis dissecans in its third most common location, the elbow, a presentation of which chiropractors should be aware, including the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
    Clinical features: A 9-year-old elite gymnast presented at a chiropractic clinic with elbow pain and restricted range of motion after a fall during training. Following multidisciplinary involvement, the diagnosis was eventually made as osteochondritis dissecans.
    Intervention and outcomes: The patient underwent successful arthroscopic surgery in order to remove the osteochondral fragment, followed by a specific regimen of rehabilitation exercises, which helped to enhance and accelerate optimal healing for her return to athletic activity.
    Summary: This case reminds the practicing chiropractor of the valuable role he/she can play in a multidisciplinary management of pediatric sports trauma, particularly in diagnosis and post-surgical care. A literature review presents a synopsis of the reported clinical presentations, diagnostic assessment and therapeutic options for capitellar osteochondritis dissecans.

    Abstract Racial-ethnic minority populations in the US are disproportionately exposed to airborne fine particulate matter (PM _2.5 ), but few national studies have focused individually on the sources that contribute to these disparities. We address this gap by conducting a comprehensive analysis of PM _2.5 exposure disparities by race-ethnicity in the US, focusing on three source-categories: mobile-sources, cooking, and all other sources combined. Our approach is based on high-resolution, national land-use regression estimates of source-resolved PM _2.5 components, derived from high-resolution aerosol mass spectrometer measurements. We find that each of these sources contributes approximately one-third of the overall PM _2.5 exposure disparities by race-ethnicity. While the importance of mobile-source tailpipe emissions is well recognized, our study underscores the significance of cooking emissions in creating PM _2.5 exposure disparities. This finding represents a potentially significant opportunity to reduce these disparities, as cooking emissions are currently largely unregulated. It has important implications for policymakers and public health advocates aiming to address the persistent issue of racial-ethnic disparities in air pollution.

    Abstract Background: The voices of children and adolescents have historically been substituted by the perspective of adults. There is growing recognition that children (<18 years old) are able to participate in research and appreciate the opportunity to participate in studies.
    Aim: To share the strategies employed by two research teams from USA and UK, who have successfully recruited children living with parental life-limiting illness as research participants.
    Findings: The researchers overcame common challenges when negotiating ethics committees by anticipating the IRB/REC concerns, providing the committees with detailed applications including distress protocols, and offering resources to their ethics committee to learn about conducting research with this population. The researchers navigated recruitment and gatekeeping by clinicians and parents by partnering with clinical agencies and nurturing relationships with practitioners who are supportive of the research, offering to present the findings of the study with continuing education credits, and developing children's, adolescents' and parents' project advisory groups to support recruitment, data collection and analysis.
    Conclusions: Simple strategies can be used to overcome barriers to recruitment, providing opportunities for children to be research participants and for their unique perspectives to be heard in palliative care research.

    Abstract Background: Healthcare professionals report challenges in supporting dying patients who have dependent children. These parents are often uncertain how to meet the needs of their children and require appropriate support from professionals. There is limited evidence based guidance for professionals around this issue, which is informed by the views and experiences of children themselves.
    Aim: To develop an understanding of the perspective of children on living with parental life-limiting illness and inform recommendations for healthcare professionals.
    Design: Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted, with thematic analysis of the data.
    Setting/participants: A diverse sample of 32 children aged 6-17, whose parent was living with life-limiting illness, were recruited from across the United Kingdom.
    Results: Despite the challenges of living with a parent with a life-limiting illness, the children display agency in their response. The children: feel a responsibility to look after their family; negotiate a relationship with healthcare; employ strategies to maintain some normality; and ensure that the inevitable sadness does not become overwhelming.
    Conclusions: Five recommendations for healthcare professionals were developed from the findings. Clinicians should encourage dying parents to:

    Abstract Self-management, as a strategy to support those living with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD, has been widely advocated in guidelines and adopted in practice. However, there can be a disconnect between the goals of patients and healthcare professionals. Goals and barriers to self-management are often compounded by the complex social, emotional and medical needs of patients. People living with chronic respiratory conditions also often have symptoms of anxiety and depression, which can impact on self-management. Self-management therefore requires patients and healthcare professionals to work together and it is essential to involve patients when designing, implementing and evaluating self-management interventions. Patient preferences are clearly important and goal setting needs an individual, flexible and responsive approach from healthcare professionals, which aligns to a more personalised approach to management of treatable traits and the burden of disease. To achieve these goals, healthcare professionals need education to support patients in self-management and behaviour change. This approach should lead to shared decision-making and partnership working that puts the patient right at the centre of their care.

    Abstract Scenarios for deep decarbonization involve biomass for biofuels, biopower, and bioproducts, and they often include negative emissions via carbon capture and storage or utilization. However, critical questions remain about the feasibility of rapid growth to high levels of biomass utilization, given biomass and land availability as well as historical growth rates of the biofuel industry. We address these questions through a unique coordinated analysis and comparison of carbon pricing effects on biomass utilization growth in the United States using a multisectoral integrated assessment model, the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM), and a biomass-to-biofuels system dynamics model, the Bioenergy Scenario Model (BSM). We harmonized and varied key factors—such as carbon prices, vehicle electrification, and arable land availability—in the two models. We varied the rate of biorefinery construction, the fungibility of feedstock types across conversion processes, and policy incentives in BSM. The rate of growth in biomass deployment under a carbon price in both models is within the range of current literature. However, the reallocation of land to biomass feedstocks would need to overcome bottlenecks to achieve growth consistent with deep decarbonization scenarios. Investments as a result of near-term policy incentives can develop technology and expand capacity—reducing costs, enabling flexibility in feedstock use, and improving stability—but if biomass demand is high, these investments might not overcome land reallocation bottlenecks. Biomass utilization for deep decarbonization relies on extraordinary growth in biomass availability and industrial capacity. In this paper, we quantify and describe the potential challenges of this rapid change.

    Abstract Quantitative analysis of drug delivery with in biological systems is an integral challenge in drug development. Analytical techniques are important for assessing both drug target delivery, target action, and drug toxicology. Using mimetic tissue models, we have investigated the efficacy of Raman spectroscopy in quantitative detection of alkyne group and deuterated drugs in rat brain and rat liver tissue models. Lasers with 671 nm and 785 nm wavelengths were assessed for their feasibility in this application due to opposing relative benefits and disadvantages. Thin tissue sections have been tested as a practical means of reducing autofluorescent background by minimizing out-of-focus tissue and therefore maximizing photobleaching rates. Alkyne-tagged drugs were quantitatively measured at 18 ± 5 μg/g drug/tissue mass ratio in rat brain and at 34 ± 6 μg/g in rat liver. Quantification calibration curves were generated for a range of concentrations from 0-500 μg/g. These results show the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a diffraction-limited spatially resolved imaging technique for assessing drug delivery in tissue applications.

    Abstract Background: The importance of actively involving patient and public members throughout the different stages of palliative care and health research projects is widely acknowledged, however patient and public involvement work rarely considers insight from children and young people. Although this is becoming increasingly recognised in other areas of research, there is currently no structured guidance on how to best involve children and young people in palliative care research.
    Aim: To plan and deliver a Young People's Advisory Group in palliative care and health research at a secondary school.
    Findings: Attending an after-school 'Health and Social Research Methods Club' for 11 weeks benefitted children and researchers. Children were taught about data collection methods, data analysis and ethics in health research and used these skills to provide valuable feedback which has been implemented in current palliative care research projects. Children took part in considered discussions around palliative care topics and enjoyed attending the group.
    Conclusion: This project has equipped researchers with skills and provided a structured template for future Young People's Advisory Groups, ensuring the unique voices of children and young people are considered and valued in future palliative care research.
