    Abstract Advanced dispersion models such as AERMOD specifically address the portion of a plume emitted in convective conditions that is sufficiently buoyant to rise into the stable layer above the elevated inversion. This portion of the plume mass is often referred to as the "penetrated plume" because that plume component breaks through the elevated inversion and penetrates into the stable layer aloft. A premature mixing of the penetrated plume to the ground has been identified in the current formulation of AERMOD, which is the U.S. EPA-preferred short-range dispersion model and used in several other countries. This behavior has been observed based on data from field studies where the model is found to overpredict ground-level concentration events due to the penetrated plume component, with the timing of these peak predictions too early in the day. A proposed update to AERMOD to address the penetrated plume issue (referred to as "HBP" for modifications particularly important for "highly buoyant plume") is documented and evaluated in this manuscript. The revised approach involves a check on the convective mixing height for the current hour as well as the next hour to determine how much of the penetrated plume has been captured by the convective boundary layer by the end of the current hour. The amount of the penetrated plume mass that is allowed to mix to the ground in the HBP modifications depends upon the result of this calculation. The HBP modification has been evaluated as an update to AERMOD for three databases along with a sensitivity analysis of the effects of the HBP changes on a variety of stack heights and buoyancy fluxes. The findings of the evaluation indicate that the HBP changes to AERMOD result in reduced overprediction tendencies.

    Abstract Penile schwannomas are rare, often painless lesions usually growing on the dorsum of the penis. A young and otherwise healthy male with recurrent painful penile schwannomas and decreased libido was successfully treated with surgical excision. Through fine dissection of the nerve fascicles leading to the primary schwannoma, the lesion was successfully removed without compromising erectile or ejaculatory function. This novel approach allowed for significant symptomatic relief and improved quality of life.

    Abstract Introduction: YouTube is the most used social media website, and there is a growing body of literature examining the reliability of healthcare information on this platform. Patients seeking men's health information may be more likely to use YouTube owing to the sensitivity of these issues.
    Objectives: The objective of this study is to review the literature for studies related to the reliability of YouTube videos about men's health topics.
    Methods: A literature review was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar for publications related to the reliability of YouTube videos about men's health as of July 1, 2020.
    Results: There were 17 studies related to YouTube and Men's Health. Most videos were found to be unreliable, and videos uploaded by physicians or healthcare organizations were usually more reliable. However, there were no studies in which more reliable videos had higher metrics of user engagement (views, likes, comments) than unreliable videos and there were several studies where unreliable videos had higher metrics of user engagement. In addition, the methods used to evaluate YouTube videos are not uniform across studies including the way that terms are searched (filtering by relevance vs view count) and the way in which reliability is assessed. For example, some studies create custom evaluation forms based on clinical guidelines, whereas others use validated questionnaires. The only validated questionnaire used across multiple studies was the DISCERN score criterion.
    Conclusions: Most information on YouTube about men's health is unreliable. Videos created by physicians and healthcare organizations are more reliable, and videos that are advertisements are less reliable. Physicians and healthcare systems should continue to upload educational YouTube videos but work to increase their views and user engagement. It may benefit patients if physician organizations could work with YouTube to create verified videos disseminating healthcare information that are favored in the search algorithm.

    Abstract The epicenter of the COVID-19 crisis since March 17, 2020-the New York metropolitan area-is home to some of the largest Latino immigrant communities in the nation. These communities have long faced barriers to health care access, challenges due to immigration status, and financial and labor instability. The COVID-19 pandemic has aggravated these existing issues in a vulnerable, often forgotten, immigrant community. It has been challenging for this population to access public information regarding COVID-19 testing, treatment, and assistance programs because this information has seldom been disseminated in Spanish and even less frequently in Portuguese. While long-term solutions will require time and changes to policy, some short-term measures can mitigate the current situation. The authors share their experience from Newark, New Jersey, where partnerships of public and private community-based organizations (CBOs) have been successful in establishing trust between the health care system and a fearful Latino community. The Ironbound Initiative, a student group at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark, New Jersey, has partnered with Mantena Global Care, a Brazilian CBO in Newark, to facilitate dissemination of COVID-19-relevant information. Medical student volunteers, removed from their clinical duties, serve as virtual patient navigators, using social media to reach community members with the goals of improving awareness of precautions to take during the pandemic and of increasing access to needed medical care. These students have collaborated with colleagues in other disciplines to provide necessary legal guidance to community members fearful of seeking care because of their immigration status. The authors urge other academic institutions across the country to recruit multidisciplinary teams of medical, health professions, and law students invested in their local communities and to empower students to partner with CBOs, immigrant community leaders, faith-based organizations, hospitals, and local authorities to support these vulnerable communities during this crisis.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate whether changing from 5 mm thick carpet tiles to vinyl on a concrete subfloor would alter fall or fracture rates.
    Design: Longitudinal, observational study.
    Setting: Six wards (129 beds) of a geriatric rehabilitation hospital.
    Subjects: All inpatients during this time.
    Interventions: The floor covering was changed from 5 mm carpet tiles to vinyl on these wards when they were closed for other maintenance. This occurred in stages from November 2007 to December 2009.
    Measures: Falls are routinely reported using a quality improvement event reporting form. Fall and fracture rates were calculated in the 12 months prior to and following the change in floor covering on each ward.
    Results: There were 854 falls on the carpet tiles in the 12 months prior to the flooring change and 878 falls on the vinyl in the 12 months after (19.5 and 19.6 falls/1000 bed days, respectively, [P = 0.95] NS. Fifteen fractures occurred on carpet and 11 fractures on vinyl, [P = 0.39] NS. Using run charts there were no detectable trends in either the fall or fracture rates following the change in flooring surface.
    Conclusion: There may be no difference in fall rates or fractures on carpet or vinyl floor covering of similar thickness and subfloor type.
