    Abstract Aims: Presentations of intoxicated patients to hospital are frequent and increasing. We aimed to review the existing evidence that the presence of inpatient clinical toxicology services reduces use of resources without impacting on the care of these patients.
    Methods: We conducted a literature search using the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase for articles that measured length of stay (and other outcomes) for the target population, with toxicology services as an intervention. The articles were reviewed with respect to the ROBINS-I tool.
    Results: Seven relevant articles were identified. Six of these studies demonstrated reduced hospital length of stay for intoxicated patients in hospitals with inpatient toxicology services. None of the articles demonstrated a detriment in morbidity or mortality. There were also improvements in other resource-related outcomes.
    Conclusions: The presence of inpatient toxicology services appears to improve resource utilization, in reduction of length of stay, as well as a number of other related outcomes. It does this without compromising on patient morbidity or mortality. Thus, it should be considered as a potential model of care for future toxicology services, especially with current trends of increasing demand for service efficiency.

  3. Article: North American independent coffeehouse culture: a comparison of Seattle with Vancouver

    Abstract Phenomenologists argue that place is central to human existence and that much of human behavior is habitual. A person who regularly visits a coffeehouse is likely to meet others engaged in a similar routine, over time they feel at ease and develop a sense of attachment to the space; a so-called third place—where people meet and engage in conversation. Since the early 1980s, the number of coffeehouses in North America has soared, but despite their ubiquity researchers have largely ignored whether they are third spaces. In the United States, critics charge that they have become places to be alone together, while in Canada, some research indicates that face-to-face conversation still flourishes in independent coffeehouses. This paper attempts to reconcile these competing perspectives by examining 30 coffeehouses in two neighborhoods in Seattle and Vancouver. Since design can affect social interaction, the coffeehouses are assessed on their spatial structure, how patrons use that space and how that space is assessed on social media. No difference was found between the coffeehouses in terms of their locational characteristics and how their physical environment was structured. However, a statistically significant difference was found in patron behavior. A majority of Vancouver customers engaged in face-to-face conversation, while Seattle patrons preferred to sit alone. Finally, Seattleite patrons were more likely to emphasize a coffeehouse’s workplace function in their online reviews than their Vancouver counterparts. In sum, despite the two cities close proximity there appears to be a difference between their residents in how they perceive coffeehouses, a workspace versus a social space.

    Abstract Aim: The North Queensland region of Australia has a high incidence of pediatric thoracic empyema (pTE). We describe the management of empyema at the Townsville University Hospital which is the regional referral center for these children. The impact of a newly developed institutional guideline is also discussed.
    Methods: This retrospective audit included children under the age of 16 years treated for empyema between 1 Jan 2007 and 31 December 2018. Demographic and management-related variables were correlated to outcomes. A local guideline was introduced at the beginning of 2017 and patient outcomes characteristics pre, and post introduction of this guideline are compared.
    Results: There were 153 children with pTE (123 before and 30 after the introduction of a local guideline). Nonsurgical management was associated with a higher treatment failure rate. Median length of stay (LOS) was 11.8 (IQR 9.3-16) days. Longer hospital LOS was associated with younger age (r2 -0.16, P = 0.04), Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait (ATSI) ancestry (13.8 vs. 10.5 days, P = 0.002) and concomitant respiratory viral infections (14.4 vs. 10.9 days, P = 0.003). The introduction of local guideline was associated with significant decrease in the use of empirical chest CT scans (54.4% before vs. 6.7% after, P < 0.001) and duration of intravenous antibiotics (14 days before vs. 10 days after, P = 0.02). There was no significant change in the hospital LOS (12.1 days pre and 11.7 post, P = 0.8).
    Conclusions: Younger age, concomitant viral respiratory infections and ATSI ancestry were identified as potential risk factors for increase LOS. Hospital LOS following the adoption of an institutional guideline was unchanged. However, such a guideline may identify populations at risk for an unfavorable course and avoid unnecessary antibiotic treatment and radiation exposure.

  6. Article ; Online: Predicting novel candidate human obesity genes and their site of action by systematic functional screening in Drosophila.

    Abstract The discovery of human obesity-associated genes can reveal new mechanisms to target for weight loss therapy. Genetic studies of obese individuals and the analysis of rare genetic variants can identify novel obesity-associated genes. However, establishing a functional relationship between these candidate genes and adiposity remains a significant challenge. We uncovered a large number of rare homozygous gene variants by exome sequencing of severely obese children, including those from consanguineous families. By assessing the function of these genes in vivo in Drosophila, we identified 4 genes, not previously linked to human obesity, that regulate adiposity (itpr, dachsous, calpA, and sdk). Dachsous is a transmembrane protein upstream of the Hippo signalling pathway. We found that 3 further members of the Hippo pathway, fat, four-jointed, and hippo, also regulate adiposity and that they act in neurons, rather than in adipose tissue (fat body). Screening Hippo pathway genes in larger human cohorts revealed rare variants in TAOK2 associated with human obesity. Knockdown of Drosophila tao increased adiposity in vivo demonstrating the strength of our approach in predicting novel human obesity genes and signalling pathways and their site of action.

    Abstract As a feature of the Fish Revolution (1400-1700), the early modern "invention" of the Grand Banks in literary and cartographical documents facilitated a massive and unprecedented extraction of cod from the waters of the north Atlantic and created the Cod/Sack trade Triangle. This overlapped with the southern Atlantic Slave, Sugar, and Tobacco Triangle to capitalise modern European and North American societies. In 1719, Pierre de Charlevoix claimed that the Grand Banks was "properly a mountain, hid under water," and noted its cod population "seems to equal that of the grains of sand which cover this bank." However, two centuries later in 1992, in the face of the collapse of the fishery, and fearing its extinction, a moratorium was placed on five centuries of harvesting Grand Banks cod. The invention and mining of its waters serves as a bellwether for the massive resource extractions of modernity that drive the current leviathan and "wicked problem" of global warming. The digital environmental humanities narrative of this study is parsed together from 83 pieces of Grand Banks charting from 1504 to 1833, which are juxtaposed through Humanities GIS applications with English and French cod-catch records kept between 1675 and 1831, letters regarding Cabot's 1497 voyage, Shakespeare's
