The risk of hospitalization associated with hot nights and excess nighttime heat in a subtropical metropolis: a time-series study in Hong Kong, 2000–2019

Elsevier,

The Lancet Regional Health - Western Pacific, Volume 51, October 2024
This paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by showing that the rise in night-time heat due to climate change, which is particularly strong in urban areas due to the urban heat island effect, could have implications for health. The study found a significant association between night-time excess heat and risk of hospitalisation. Rapid urbanisation in low-income and middle-income countries means the numbers of people exposed to excess night-time heat will increase.

Copper(II) isonicotinate metal-organic framework for reusable adsorption of salmeterol from wastewater

Salmeterols (SMTs) are persistent organic pollutants slowly degrading and accumulating in aquatic ecosystems, affecting aquatic life and posing several environmental and health challenges in water sources. This study investigates the adsorption of SMT from aqueous solutions using a novel nano-sized copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF).

Psychological telephone triage system for outpatient memory clinics - a way for adaptation to new challenges of increasing dementia prevalence and new treatment options?

Elsevier,

International Journal of Clinical and Health Psychology, Volume 24, 1 October 2024
This study demonstrates that the Psychological Telephone Triage System (PTT) is an effective and cost-efficient method for early identification of patients with urgent cognitive impairment, particularly in the context of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), helping to reduce unnecessary on-site visits and healthcare burden. The findings suggest that implementing this interdisciplinary pre-screening and triage process can improve management of the rising demand for dementia assessments, especially with new therapeutic options and increasing prevalence of dementia globally.
