    Abstract This study evaluated multiple commercially available continuous monitoring (CM) point sensor network (PSN) solutions under single-blind controlled release testing conducted at operational upstream and midstream oil and natural gas (O&G) sites. During releases, PSNs reported site-level emission rate estimates of 0 kg/h between 38 and 86% of the time. When non-zero site-level emission rate estimates were provided, no linear correlation between the release rate and the reported emission rate estimate was observed. The average, aggregated across all PSN solutions during releases, shows 5% of the mixing ratio readings at downwind sensors were greater than the site's baseline plus two standard deviations. Four of seven total PSN solutions tested during this field campaign provided site-level emission rate estimates with the site average relative error ranging from -100% to 24% for solution D, -100% to -43% for solution E, -25% for solution F (solution F was only at one site), and -99% to 430% for solution G, with an overall average of -29% across all sites and solutions. Of all the individual site-level emission rate estimates, only 11% were within ±2.5 kg/h of the study team's best estimate of site-level emissions at the time of the releases.

    Abstract Over the last century, droughts have caused more deaths internationally than any other weather- or climate-related disaster. Like other natural disasters, droughts cause significant changes in the environment that can lead to negative health outcomes. As droughts are becoming more frequent and intense with climate change, public health systems need to address impacts associated with these events. Partnering with federal and local entities, we evaluated the state of knowledge of drought and health in the United States through a National Drought and Public Health Summit and a series of subsequent regional workshops. The intended outcome was to develop public health strategies for implementing activities to better support and prepare public health systems for future droughts. The information gathered from this work identified multiple policy and law options to address the public health issues associated with drought. These policy recommendations include the use of public health emergency declarations for drought events, increased usage of preparedness evaluations for drought emergencies, and engagement of drought and climate experts in state and local risk assessments. As drought events are projected to increase in frequency and magnitude with climate change, taking policy action now will help decrease the health impacts of drought and save lives.

    Abstract Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a group of mycobacteria which represent opportunistic pathogens that are of increasing concern in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). The acquisition has been traditionally though to be from environmental sources, though recent work has suggested clustered clonal infections do occur and transmission potential demonstrated among pwCF attending CF specialist centers. Guidelines for the screening, diagnosis, and identification of NTM and management of pwCF have been published. The emergence of CF-specific therapies, in particular cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) modulator drugs, have led to significant improvement in the health and well-being of pwCF and may lead to challenges in sampling the lower respiratory tract including to screen for NTM. This review highlights the epidemiology, modes of acquisition, screening and diagnosis, therapeutic approaches in the context of improved clinical status for pwCF, and the clinical application of CFTR modulator therapies.

    Abstract Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-limiting disorder that is characterised by respiratory tract inflammation that is mediated by a range of microbial pathogens. Small colony variants (SCVs) of common respiratory pathogens are being increasingly recognised in CF. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the prevalence of SCVs, clinical characteristics and health outcomes for patients with CF, and laboratory diagnostic features of SCVs compared to non-small colony variants (NCVs) for a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative respiratory pathogens.
    Methods: A literature search was conducted (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Scopus) in April 2020 to identify articles of interest. Data pertaining to demographic characteristics of participants, diagnostic criteria of SCVs, SCV prevalence and impact on lung function were extracted from included studies for analysis.
    Results: Twenty-five of 673 studies were included in the systematic review. Individuals infected with SCVs of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were more likely to have had prior use of the broad-spectrum antibiotic trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole (p < 0.001), and the prevalence of SCVs in patients infected with S. aureus was estimated to be 19.3% (95% CI: 13.5% to 25.9%). Additionally, patients infected with SCVs of Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens were identified to have a lower forced expiratory volume in one second percentage predicted (-16.8, 95% CI: -23.2 to -10.4) than those infected by NCVs. Gram-positive SCVs were commonly described as small and non-haemolytic, grown on Mannitol salt or blood agar for 24 h at 35°C and confirmed using tube coagulase testing.
    Conclusion: The findings of this systematic review demonstrate that SCVs of S. aureus have a high prevalence in the CF community, and that the occurrence of SCVs in Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens is linked to poorer respiratory function. Further investigation is necessary to determine the effect of infection by SCVs on the CF population.

    Abstract Background: Organ measurements derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have the potential to enhance our understanding of the precise phenotypic variations underlying many clinical conditions.
    Methods: We applied morphometric methods to study the kidneys by constructing surface meshes from kidney segmentations from abdominal MRI data in 38,868 participants in the UK Biobank. Using mesh-based analysis techniques based on statistical parametric maps (SPMs), we were able to detect variations in specific regions of the kidney and associate those with anthropometric traits as well as disease states including chronic kidney disease (CKD), type-2 diabetes (T2D), and hypertension. Statistical shape analysis (SSA) based on principal component analysis was also used within the disease population and the principal component scores were used to assess the risk of disease events.
    Results: We show that CKD, T2D and hypertension were associated with kidney shape. Age was associated with kidney shape consistently across disease groups. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were also associated with kidney shape for the participants with T2D. Using SSA, we were able to capture kidney shape variations, relative to size, angle, straightness, width, length, and thickness of the kidneys, within disease populations. We identified significant associations between both left and right kidney length and width and incidence of CKD (hazard ratio (HR): 0.74, 95% CI: 0.61-0.90, p < 0.05, in the left kidney; HR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.63-0.92, p < 0.05, in the right kidney) and hypertension (HR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.03-1.29, p < 0.05, in the left kidney; HR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.79-0.96, p < 0.05, in the right kidney).
    Conclusions: The results suggest that shape-based analysis of the kidneys can augment studies aiming at the better categorisation of pathologies associated with chronic kidney conditions.

    Abstract Hydroxocobalamin is used for cyanide toxicity after smoke inhalation, but diagnosis is challenging. Retrospective studies have associated hydroxocobalamin with acute kidney injury (AKI). This is a retrospective analysis of patients receiving hydroxocobalamin for suspected cyanide toxicity. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients meeting predefined appropriate use criteria defined as ≥1 of the following: serum lactate ≥8 mmol/L, systolic blood pressure (SBP) <90 mmHg, new-onset seizure, cardiac arrest, or respiratory arrest. Secondary outcomes included incidence of AKI, pneumonia, resolution of initial neurologic symptoms, and in-hospital mortality. Forty-six patients were included; 35 (76%) met the primary outcome. All met appropriate use criteria due to respiratory arrest, 15 (43%) for lactate, 14 (40%) for SBP, 12 (34%) for cardiac arrest. AKI, pneumonia, and resolution of neurologic symptoms occurred in 30%, 21%, and 49% of patients, respectively. In-hospital mortality was higher in patients meeting criteria, 49% vs. 9% (95% CI 0.16, 0.64). When appropriate use criteria were modified to exclude respiratory arrest in a post-hoc analysis, differences were maintained, suggesting respiratory arrest alone is not a critical component to determine hydroxocobalamin administration. Predefined appropriate use criteria identify severely ill smoke inhalation victims and provides hydroxocobalamin treatment guidance.
