TL;DR: Damage to ecosystems and threats to human health and the lack of effective mitigation require new approaches to mining regulation, including mountaintop mining with valley fills (MTM/VF), which is widespread throughout eastern Kentucky, West Virginia, and southwestern Virginia.

TL;DR: Using elevated respiratory rates as a signal for focused diagnostic studies and therapeutic interventions in internal medicine patients may be useful in reducing the incidence of subsequent cardiopulmonary arrest, and lowering associated morbidity and mortality.

TL;DR: This work estimates that the life cycle effects of coal and the waste stream generated are costing the U.S. public a third to over one‐half of a trillion dollars annually, and conservatively doubles to triples the price of electricity from coal per kWh generated, making wind, solar, and other forms of nonfossil fuel power generation, along with investments in efficiency and electricity conservation methods, economically competitive.

TL;DR: The evidence now affirms that alexithymia (as measured by the TAS) is multidimensional and that certain dimensions are state dependent.

TL;DR: The results observed for 22 major U.S. cities are consistent with the hypothesis that community social capital enables better access to care, perhaps through improving community accountability mechanisms.
