Sustainable Development

14.3K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

3.0K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells01:12

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

2.8K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

Environmental Applications of Microorganisms

687
Microorganisms play a pivotal role in maintaining ecosystem balance by recycling essential elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, as well as supporting processes like bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and biofuel production.Microbes in Elemental CyclesIn the carbon cycle, microorganisms decompose organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide via aerobic respiration. This carbon dioxide is subsequently used by photosynthetic organisms to synthesize organic compounds, closing the...

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

296
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental sustainability in healthcare
  • Climate change mitigation strategies

Background:

  • Health and social care organizations account for 6.3% of England's carbon emissions.
  • National Health Service (NHS) sustainability efforts focus on demand reduction and supply-side improvements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify sustainable practices in dermatology departments.
  • To focus on supply-side factors for reducing the environmental footprint.

Main Methods:

  • A narrative literature review was conducted in MEDLINE in April 2020.
  • Search terms included environmental sustainability, climate change, dermatology, telemedicine, NHS, surgery, and operating theatres.
  • 20 out of 95 reviewed articles were relevant.

Main Results:

  • Growing interest in environmental sustainability within healthcare.
  • Lack of comprehensive implementation and evaluation of sustainability initiatives.
  • Literature discussed transport, waste management, and procurement, but often lacked verifiable outcome data.

Conclusions:

  • Need for detailed environmental impact and economic assessments of dermatological treatments.
  • Requirement for evidence-based guidance on implementable actions with identifiable benefits for clinical teams.
  • Importance of engaging clinicians, patients, and healthcare organizations in sustainability efforts.
