Incorporating Equity Considerations Into Serious Safety Event Review Processes

Serious safety events (SSEs) are a subset of patient safety events (PSEs) reported in hospitals which results in a severe level of harm. Many of these events are cases of avoidable harm and are investigated during SSE review processes. Systemic inequities are prevalent in healthcare systems and contribute to the occurrence of SSEs, however are […]

Epigenetic modulators as targets in recurrent glioblastoma

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common brain cancer in adults. Despite undergoing extensive treatment, patients with GBM typically have a dismal survival rate of only 12-16 months. Furthermore, many patients eventually experience tumor relapse. Proteins such as epigenetic modulators function to change how genes are activated in DNA without altering the genetic code. Inhibiting such […]

Examining Rainfall Derived Inflow & Infiltration with Real Data

During rainfall events, it is nearly impossible to prevent water from entering into a sanitary sewer system. When this does occur, the capacity of the systems is decreased while the amount of water sent to treatment plants is increased. Current design practices do not offer any insights into the variability and other statistics characterizing this […]
