    Abstract The purpose of this research was to use polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) 18-88 as a case study to evaluate the environmental fate, ecotoxicity, and overall safety profile of water-soluble, nonmodified PVOH polymers used in detergent films. An OECD 303A Wastewater Treatment Plant Simulation Study was conducted with dissolved organic carbon as the analytical endpoint to evaluate the removal of PVOH 18-88 during wastewater treatment. During the plateau phase, high levels of removal due to biodegradation were observed (average 97.4 ± 7.1, range: 88%-116%). The OECD 303A study quantitatively verified that surface water is the dominant receiving compartment for PVOH 18-88 post wastewater treatment. Acute algae, invertebrate, and fish embryo (fish embryo acute toxicity test [FET]) ecotoxicity studies quanitified the 50% lethal/effect concentration (L/EC50) for PVOH 18-88. Due to the potential for the chorion to impact PVOH 18-88 bioavailability, both chorionated and dechorionated FET tests were conducted. L/EC50 > 1000 mg/L for FET (chorionated and dechorionated), invertebrate, and algae were observed. The Sustainable Futures (US) and REACH (EU) frameworks were used to evaluate environmental risk. For the US assessment, the Exposure and Fate Assessment Screening Tool was used to predict the single day lowest flow over a 10-year period (1Q10) surface water concentration and the seven consecutive days of lowest flow over a 10-year period (7Q10) surface water concentration and compared with acute and chronic concentrations of concern. For the EU assessment, the European Union System for the Evaluation of Substances was used to predict local and regional exposure concentrations and compared to the predicted no effect concentration. For both regulatory assessments, the exposure concentrations were >2 orders of magnitude below the effect concentrations. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2024;00:1-13. © 2024 The Authors.

    Abstract Social Pediatrics is the newest mandatory rotation in the General Pediatrics residency program at the University of Alberta. Evaluation of the residents include a written reflective assignment, asking them to identify assets and disparities that have influenced the health of a child encountered on the rotation. While there are many published papers on reflective writing , few papers are found in the area of how social determinants of health (SDoH) impact an individual's overall health. This study examines the question: how has exploring SDoH during the Social Pediatrics rotation led to changes in residents' awareness of their own practice of pediatrics? Grounded theory was used to analyse 35 reflections from residents who had submitted them as a mandatory assignment at the end of their rotation. In addition, 10 semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted to further understand residents' perceptions. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysis of the reflections and interviews was guided by grounded theory using open, axial, and selective coding. Analyses of written reflections revealed the following categories: 1) judgment/bias, 2) systemic challenges, 3) advocacy, and 4) a sense that everyone is doing their best. Interview data reinforced overlapping categories of bias, systemic challenges and advocacy in addition to two new categories: 1) increased exposure and knowledge of specific disadvantaged populations, and 2) understanding impact of SDoH on overall health.Categories that were generated highlight the importance of residents' education regarding the role of SDoH on overall health and management plans. They became aware of structural determinants of health working with health-care professionals who were advocates for the communities they worked with. Analysis of residents' written reflection assignments and follow-up interviews revealed the value of reflective practice in physician development and reinforced the benefit of fostering experiences not typically encountered in traditional clinical learning environments.

    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has almost 56 million confirmed cases resulting in over 1.3 million deaths as of November 2020. This infection has proved more deadly to older adults (those >65 years of age) and those with immunocompromising conditions. The worldwide population aged 65 years and older is increasing, and the total number of aged individuals will outnumber those younger than 65 years by the year 2050. Aging is associated with a decline in immune function and chronic activation of inflammation that contributes to enhanced viral susceptibility and reduced responses to vaccination. Here we briefly review the pathogenicity of the virus, epidemiology and clinical response, and the underlying mechanisms of human aging in improving vaccination. We review current methods to improve vaccination in the older adults using novel vaccine platforms and adjuvant systems. We conclude by summarizing the existing clinical trials for a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and discussing how to address the unique challenges for vaccine development presented with an aging immune system.

    Abstract Even with rapid and widespread expansion of states' quality rating and improvement systems (QRIS)-tiered frameworks that assess, communicate, and improve early childhood education (ECE) quality-there exists no population-level information regarding which providers choose to participate in these primarily voluntary systems. We use a nationally representative survey of ECE centers to examine how the characteristics of ECE centers and the communities in which they are located predict participation in QRIS to understand the scope of QRIS policy implementation and the extent to which QRIS may be equity enhancing. We find that approximately one-third of centers nationwide participated in QRIS in 2012. Selection model results reveal that participation is more likely among centers that blend multiple funding sources and who are NAEYC accredited, and in communities with high poverty rates. However, QRIS participation is less likely in communities with relatively higher proportions of Black residents. Findings raise questions about how QRISs can equitably engage programs in all communities.
