    Abstract Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), which was first described in 1996, is a neurologic condition characterized by a combination of clinical and neuroimaging findings. PRES may arise in the context of preeclampsia, eclampsia, renal failure, and sepsis, among other conditions. Neuropsychiatric symptoms of PRES include altered mental status, agitation, and in some cases psychosis. PRES occurring in the postpartum period is understudied, especially with regard to its psychiatric manifestations. We aim to add to the literature a case of PRES associated with psychosis and agitation in a postpartum woman, highlighting clinical implications and offering suggestions for practice. A female in her late 20s, with no significant psychiatric or medical history, presented to the hospital at 29 weeks and one day of gestation following a witnessed seizure. She was found to be hypertensive and hyponatremic, was diagnosed with eclampsia, and underwent an emergent cesarean section due to fetal malpresentation. The next day, the patient developed paranoia with acute agitation, and the psychiatry team diagnosed her with delirium with psychosis/agitation secondary to her underlying medical condition. She required intramuscular medications for agitation, was placed in restraints, and was transferred to the ICU for sedation. Subsequently, CT and MRI scans of her head both indicated that she had developed PRES. The patient's delirium and psychotic behavior resolved after appropriate treatment of her eclampsia. To our knowledge, this case report is the second documented case in the literature, of a patient who presented with PRES characterized by agitation and psychotic features in the postpartum period. Due to the significant overlap in symptoms between delirium and postpartum psychosis, this case highlights the crucial importance of interdisciplinary collaboration for accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment of PRES in the postpartum period. The case also speaks to the importance of differentiating postpartum psychosis associated with a primary psychiatric disorder from delirium arising in postpartum patients with or without a previous psychiatric history.

    Abstract In forest ecosystems, transpiration (T) patterns are important for quantifying water and carbon fluxes and are major factors in predicting ecosystem change. Seasonal changes in rainfall and soil water content can alter the sensitivity of sap flux density to daily variations in vapor pressure deficit (VPD). This sensitivity is species-specific and is thought to be related to hydraulic strategies. The aim of this work is to better understand how the sap flux density of species with low versus high wood density differ in their sensitivity to VPD and soil water content and how potentially opposing water-use strategies influence T dynamics, and ultimately, correlations to evapotranspiration (ET). We use hysteresis area analysis to quantify the sensitivity of species-specific sap flux density to changes in the VPD, breakpoint-based models to determine the soil water content threshold instigating a T response and multiscalar wavelet coherency to correlate T to ET. We found that low wood density Commiphora leptophloeos (Mart.) Gillett had a more dynamic T pattern, a greater sensitivity to VPD at high soil water content, required a higher soil water content threshold for this sensitivity to be apparent, and had a significant coherency correlation with ET at daily to monthly timescales. This behavior is consistent with a drought avoidance strategy. High wood density Cenostigma pyramidale  (Tul.)  E. Gagnon & G. P. Lewis, conversely, had a more stable T pattern, responded to VPD across a range of soil water content, tolerated a lower soil water content threshold to T, and had a significant coherency correlation with ET at weekly timescales. This behavior is consistent with a drought-tolerant strategy. We build on previous research to show that these species have contrasting water-use strategies that should be considered in large-scale modeling efforts.

    Abstract Failure to thrive (FTT) is a DSM-5/ICD-10 diagnosis which describes infants and children who fail to grow within expected norms. The causes for poor growth are multifactorial and often include psychosocial factors. Social workers are important players in an interdisciplinary team approach to this diagnosis. This research and manuscript focus on the use of an integrated infant mental health pediatric model of practice, and outcomes for one case study. The article will review the social worker's role in the treatment of FTT, effective social work services provided in an integrated behavioral health approach, and a review of a cost-benefit analysis of treatment of FTT in a Primary Care Facility verses a hospital setting.

    Abstract Background: Data on long-term trends of ozone exposure and attributable mortality across urban-rural catchment areas worldwide are scarce, especially for low-income and middle-income countries. This study aims to estimate trends in ozone concentrations and attributable mortality for urban-rural catchment areas worldwide.
    Methods: In this modelling study, we used a health impact function to estimate ozone concentrations and ozone-attributable chronic respiratory disease mortality for urban areas worldwide, and their surrounding peri-urban, peri-rural, and rural areas. We estimated ozone-attributable respiratory health outcomes using a modified Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors 2019 Study approach. We evaluate long-term trends with linear regressions of annual ozone concentrations and ozone-attributable mortality against time in years, and examined the influence of each health impact function input parameter to temporal changes in ozone-attributable disease burden estimates for 12 946 cities worldwide by region, from 2000 to 2019.
    Findings: Ozone-attributable mortality worldwide increased by 46% from 2000 (290 400 deaths [95% CI 151 800-457 600]) to 2019 (423 100 deaths [95% CI 223 200-659 400]). The fraction of global ozone-attributable mortality occurring in peri-urban areas remained unchanged from 2000 to 2019 (56%), whereas urban areas gained in their share of global ozone-attributable burden (from 35% to 37%; 54 000 more deaths). Across all cities studied, average population-weighted mean ozone concentration increased by 11% (46 parts per billion [ppb] to 51 ppb). The number of cities with concentrations above the WHO peak season ozone standard (60 μg/m
    Interpretation: Ozone exposure is increasing worldwide, contributing to disproportionate ozone mortality in peri-urban areas and increasing ozone exposure and attributable mortality in urban areas worldwide. Reducing ozone precursor emissions in areas affecting urban and peri-urban exposure can yield substantial public health benefits.

    Abstract Coastal ecosystems are becoming increasingly threatened by human activities and there is growing appreciation that management must consider the impacts of multiple stressors. Cumulative effects assessments (CEAs) have become a popular tool for identifying the distribution and intensity of multiple human stressors in coastal ecosystems. Few studies, however, have demonstrated strong correlations between CEAs and change in ecosystem condition, questioning its management use. Here, we apply a CEA to the endangered seagrass Posidonia australis in Pittwater, NSW, Australia, using spatial data on known stressors to seagrass related to foreshore development, water quality, vessel traffic and fishing. We tested how well cumulative effects scores explained changes in P. australis extent measured between 2005 and 2019 using high-resolution aerial imagery. A negative correlation between P. australis and estimated cumulative effects scores was observed (R

    Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this study is to explore current perceptions within the military surgery community to stratify key obstacles to pursuing a career in academic surgery and identify opportunities for mitigation.
    Methods: After receiving institutional review board approval, an anonymous electronic survey was distributed to military surgeons across all branches. Survey response data were collected and analyzed using chi-square test.
    Results: The response rate was approximately 22%. Of those who responded to the survey, most are interested in an academic career (61.5%); however, 64% believe this to be much more difficult as a military surgeon than as a civilian surgeon. The top three perceived obstacles include administrative obstacles (76.4%), operational commitments (65.8%), and lack of funding for academic pursuits (62.7%). Most respondents indicated that they have never received formal education regarding how to apply for research funding (84.5%) and most do not have a research mentor (60.9%). Additionally, 42.9% state that obstacles to an academic career in surgery impact their decision to leave the military. Younger surgeons were more likely to leave the military upon completion of their service commitment (67.9% versus 46.4% aged 20-39 y, P = 0.02).
    Conclusions: We characterized the perceived challenges to academic surgery within the military. These barriers between academic surgery and military service risk medical force attrition, particularly in future generations of surgeons. Dedicated faculty billets (positions) with limited operational demands as well as associated mentorship and research funding may enhance the retention and productivity of military surgeons.
