The Municipal Farm: From Contamination to Conservation: A Plan for the Future
Get PDFThe Municipal Farm is a 441-acre site owned by the City of Kansas City, Missouri, located in the heart of the Eastwood Hills neighborhood. Surrounded by important neighborhoods and regional assets, the former municipal jail and working farm property site holds great potential for the community. It is both a historic and environmental asset in Kansas City.
Over the years, a range of factors—including accumulated city and industrial uses, and the presence or potential presence of hazardous substances in some areas, known as brownfield sites—have contributed to the site being underutilized. Today, Municipal Farm features a rich mix of natural elements such as waterways, wetlands, wooded areas, striking terrain, and pockets of development.
The Municipal Farm site in Kansas City represents a unique opportunity to revitalize a historically significant and environmentally rich area by addressing past contamination concerns and transforming it into a sustainable, community-driven asset that blends ecological restoration, urban development, and public engagement
Diagnostic Challenges and Key insights of Nitrous Oxide Neuropathy: A Case series
Get PDFNitrous oxide (N₂O) is increasingly misused due to its easy availability. Chronic misuse causes irreversible oxidation of cobalamin which results in vitamin B12 deficiency and impaired myelination leading to neurological complications. We present two cases highlighting diagnostic challenges consisting of a 34-year-old male and a 52-year-old, both initially misdiagnosed as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). They were eventually diagnosed as N₂O-induced neuropathy based on lab testing and electrodiagnostic findings. Clinicians should maintain a high suspicion of N₂O misuse in unclear neuropathies. Early recognition with prompt and sustained vitamin B12 supplementation is crucial for preventing irreversible neurological damage and avoiding unnecessary immunotherapy
