Frontiers | Seasonality in Environmental Conditions Drive Variation in Plankton Communities in a Shallow Tropical Lake

Factors influencing the spatio-temporal dynamics of plankton communities in small tropical lakes are not well understood. This study assessed plankton communities in response to spatial and seasonal (wet vs dry seasons) changes in environmental variables in Lake Kanyaboli, a small satellite lake on the northern shores of Lake Victoria, Kenya. Water quality variables, including pH, conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, Secchi depth (SD), nitrates (NO3-), nitrites (NO2-), ammonium (NH4+), soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), were monitored monthly at six sites spread throughout the lake for one year. Phytoplankton and zooplankton samples were collected and analyzed for taxon composition and abundance. Two-way ANOVA showed no significant interaction between site and season for all variables, except Chl-a. A t-test showed significant seasonal differences in SD, DO, NH4+, NO3-, NO2- and TN.

Accessibility of Telehealth Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Medicare Beneficiaries

Accessibility of Telehealth Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Medicare Beneficiaries ORIGINAL RESEARCH Volume 18 July 1, 2021 Suggested citation for this article: Ng BP, Park C. Accessibility of Telehealth Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Medicare Beneficiaries. Prev Chronic Dis 2021;18:210056. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5888/pcd18.210056external icon. PEER REVIEWED What is already known on this topic? Factors associated with accessibility and use of telehealth have been reported for the adult population; however, little is known about factors associated with accessibility of telehealth among older adults. What is added by this report? Over 80% of Medicare beneficiaries in our study reported that their usual providers offered telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Disparities in accessibility of telehealth services by sex, residing area, income, and census region were observed.
