Advanced Practice Practitioners in Allergy & Immunology: Where Are We Now and Future Directions.

There has been substantial growth of Advanced Practice Practitioners (APPs) in health care since their inception in the 1960's with APPs providing high quality and cost-effective care in a variety of medical settings. While most of the growth is in primary care, APPs are becoming increasingly leveraged in subspeciality care including Allergy & Immunology (A&I). At present there is limited literature on APPs in A&I specifically but there is growing literature on APP utilization and training in other specialties.

Identification of Predictors of Adverse Health Outcomes in Acute Care Patients with Dysphagia.

Dysphagia, common among adult patients in acute care settings, is associated with various complications. This study aimed to identify significant predictors of adverse health outcomes in hospitalized patients with dysphagia. A consulting committee meeting preceded a retrospective chart review involving 420 adult patients (mean age 72 years, 55% male) hospitalized at who underwent an interdisciplinary dysphagia assessment.

Influence of organic waste amendments on uptake of per and polyfluoroalkyl substances from soil to crops: Insights from long-term field experiments.

The use of organic waste products (OWPs) as soil amendments raises concerns due to the potential uptake and accumulation of several environmental contaminants, such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in plants. We developed an analytical procedure suitable for screening 75 anionic, zwitterionic, and cationic PFAS in plant tissues (limits of detection: 0.01-0.

Comprehensive dataset on the physicochemical characteristics of agrowastes digestates from anaerobic digestion.

The established database represents one of the largest and most diverse collections of digestates compositions, with a total of 806 digestates derived from two main collections: (i) 608 digestates from French agricultural anaerobic digestion (AD) plants, which include detailed physicochemical characterization, trace metal elements and organic contaminants concentrations, and potential C and N mineralization during soil incubation in controlled conditions as agronomic indicators, and (ii) 198 digestates collected from an international literature review, with physicochemical characterization and some trace metal elements concentrations. An additional dataset of process metadata was also set-up, including feedstock compositions, operational conditions and post-treatments descriptions. A preliminary description of both collections is provided using descriptive statistics.

Feeding incremental amounts of the red seaweed Chondrus crispus: Effects on production performance, methane emissions, nutrient utilization, and ruminal and iodine metabolism in dairy cows.

We investigated the effects of feeding incremental amounts (0%, 3%, and 6% of diet DM) of the red seaweed Chondrus crispus on DMI, milk yield and milk components, enteric CH emissions, nutrient utilization, ruminal fermentation and microbiota relative abundance, and I metabolism in dairy cows. Eighteen organic certified Jersey cows (12 multiparous and 6 primiparous) averaging (mean ± SD) 94 ± 45 DIM, 22 ± 5.2 kg of milk/d, and 485 ± 54 kg of BW in the beginning of the study were used in a replicated Latin square design with three 24-d periods (14 d for diet adaptation and 10 d for data and sample collection).
