Injury and Mortality of Two Mekong River Species to Turbulent Shear Forces
Global hydropower development is one solution proposed to address an increase in energy needs. However, hydropower-related impacts on riverine ecology systems is not well understood. The Mekong River Basin (MRB) is one of the world’s largest waterways and is presently experiencing significant hydropower expansion. It is also one of the most biodiverse rivers; serving as home to many species that are blocked or hindered by the development of dams. One source of injury and mortality for downstream moving fishes is passage through the turbine environment where fishes may be exposed to a number of physical stressors (e.g., shear forces, rapid decompression, blade strike and turbulence). The current study sought to understand the susceptibility of blue gourami (Trichopodus trichopterus) and iridescent shark (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) to shear forces. Fishes were exposed to an underwater jet with velocities up to 21.3 m/s (equating to strain rates of up to 1,185 s-1). Fish were assessed for behavioral effects, injuries, and mortality. Overall, it was determined that both species were susceptible to shear forces and the effects were more pronounced at higher strain rates. Gouramis were more susceptible than sharks. To minimize impacts on these species, shear forces within turbines should not exceed critical limits
American eel state of buoyancy and barotrauma susceptibility associated with hydroturbine passage
American eel are likely to encounter and pass through hydropower turbines, particularly during the downstream spawning migration, where exposure to stressors can potentially lead to injuries and mortality. Previous research has recovered dead eels downstream of hydropower facilities and, for some fish, injuries were easily attributed to blade strike; however, others showed no external signs of injury suggesting that other stressors, such as rapid decompression may be a potential source of mortality. For this research, yellow– and silver-phase American eel were held and allowed to acclimate to 172 kPa (absolute pressure) in hyper/hypobaric hydro-chambers for about 1 d. After acclimation, the state of buoyancy was determined prior to exposure to a rapid decompression simulating pressures encountered during hydroturbine passage. Fish were then examined for signs of barotrauma. Eel did not attain a state of neutral buoyancy but rather maintained negative buoyancy suggesting that eels, and possibly other benthic species, likely maintain a state of negative buoyancy to facilitate occupancy on or near the substrate. Additionally, eel were found to be resilient to rapid decompression, displaying no instantaneous mortality and minimal injuries, suggesting that barotrauma is not likely a major concern for American eel passing downstream through hydroturbines
2005 Annual Synthesis Report, Pallid Sturgeon Population Assessment Program and Associated Fish Community Monitoring for the Missouri River
Pallid sturgeon, Scaphirhynchus albus, have declined throughout the Missouri River since dam construction and inception of the Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project in 1912. Their decline likely is due to the loss and degradation of their natural habitat as a result of changes in the river’s structure and function, as well as the pallid sturgeon’s inability to adapt to these changes. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has been working with state and federal agencies to develop and conduct a Pallid Sturgeon Monitoring and Assessment Program (Program), with the goal of recovering pallid sturgeon populations. The Program has organized the monitoring and assessment efforts into distinct geographic segments, with state and federal resource management agencies possessing primary responsibility for one or more segment. To date, the results from annual monitoring have been reported for individual Program segments. However, monitoring results have not been summarized or evaluated for larger spatial scales, encompassing more than one Program segment. This report describes a summary conducted by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) that synthesizes the 2005 sampling year monitoring results from individual segments

Improving Care for the Frail in Nova Scotia: An Implementation Evaluation of a Frailty Portal in Primary Care Practice
Abstract
Background: Understanding and addressing the needs of frail patients has been identified as an important strategy by
the Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA). Primary care (PC) providers are in a key position to aid in the identification
of, and response to frailty as part of routine care. Unlike singular chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension
which garner a disease-based approach and identification as part of standard practice, frailty is only just emerging as a
concept for PC. The web-based Frailty Portal was developed to aid in the identification of, assessment and care planning
for frail patients in PC practice. In this study we assess the implementation feasibility and impact of the Frailty Portal
by: (1) identifying factors influencing the Frailty Portal’s use in community PC practice, and (2) examination of the
immediate impact of the ‘Frailty Portal’ on frail patients, their caregivers and PC providers.
Methods: A convergent mixed method approach was implemented among PC providers in community-based practice in
the NSHA, Central Zone. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected concurrently over a 9-month period. A sample
of patients who underwent assessment and/or their caregiver were approached for survey participation.
Results: Fourteen community PC providers (10 family physicians, 4 nurse practitioners) completed 48 patient assessments
and completed or begun 41 care plans; semi-structured interviews were conducted among 9 providers. Nine patients
and 5 caregivers participated in the survey. PC providers viewed frailty as an important concept but implementation
challenges were met, primarily with respect to the time required for use and lack of fit with traditional practice routines.
Additional barriers included tool usability and accessibility, training and care planning steps, and privacy. Impacts of the
tools use with respect to confidence and knowledge showed early promise.
Conclusion: This feasibility study highlights the need for added health system supports, resources and financial incentives
for successful implementation of the Frailty Portal in community PC practice. We suggest future implementation
integrate the Frailty Portal to practice electronic medical records (EMRs) and target providers with largely geriatric
practice populations and those practicing within interdisciplinary, collaborative primary healthcare (PHC) teams

Concurrent Sessions B: Case Studies of Passage at Dams - Passage Distributions and Federal Columbia River Power System Survival for Steelhead Kelts Tagged Above and at Lower Granite Dam
Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations have declined throughout their range in the last century and many populations, including those of the Snake River Basin are listed under the Endangered Species Act. The reasons for their decline are many, but include habitat loss and degradation, overharvest, and the construction of dams. Unlike Pacific salmon, which all die after they spawn, post-spawning steelhead (known as kelts) can migrate back to the ocean to feed and replenish their energy stores, then return to freshwater and spawn in subsequent years (known as iteroparity). However, it is estimated tha
Integrated care for people living with dementia
People with dementia, and their families are likely to have multiple needs across the biological, psychological, and social domains. These complex needs are best met by multidisciplinary teams who can work across different healthcare settings and apply models of integrated care. In this review, we describe several examples of integrated care for people living with dementia such as specialist dementia wards, psychiatric liaison teams, community mental health teams and Admiral Nurses. Gaps in services for people with dementia are likely to include crisis or out-of-hours support, and specialist end-of-life or palliative care services

Seasonal Juvenile Salmonid Presence and Migratory Behavior in the Lower Columbia River
To facilitate preparing Biological Assessments of proposed channel maintenance projects, the Portland District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contracted the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to consolidate and synthesize available information about the use of the lower Columbia River and estuary by juvenile anadromous salmonids. The information to be synthesized included existing published documents as well as data from five years (2004-2008) of acoustic telemetry studies conducted in the Columbia River estuary using the Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System. For this synthesis, the Columbia River estuary includes the section of the Columbia River from Bonneville Dam at river kilometer (Rkm) 235 downstream to the mouth where it enters the Pacific Ocean. In this report, we summarize the seasonal salmonid presence and migration patterns in the Columbia River estuary based on information from published studies as well as relevant data from acoustic telemetry studies conducted by NOAA Fisheries and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) between 2004 and 2008. Recent acoustic telemetry studies, conducted using the Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS; developed by the Portland District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), provided information on the migratory behavior of juvenile steelhead (O. mykiss) and Chinook salmon in the Columbia River from Bonneville Dam to the Pacific Ocean. In this report, Section 2 provides a summary of information from published literature on the seasonal presence and migratory behavior of juvenile salmonids in the Columbia River estuary and plume. Section 3 presents a detailed synthesis of juvenile Chinook salmon and steelhead migratory behavior based on use of the JSATS between 2004 and 2008. Section 4 provides a discussion of the information summarized in the report as well as information drawn from literature reviews on potential effects of channel maintenance activities to juvenile salmonids rearing in or migrating through the Columbia River estuary and plume
