By leveraging the Okada model, the study makes the first-ever attempt to examine earthquake-induced tsunamis in Lake Sevan, related to the activation of underwater segments of the active Pambak-Sevan-Syunik Fault (PSSF), the largest geological structure in the Republic of Armenia (RA). Situated in the Arabian-Eurasian continental collision zone, the basin of Sevan, the largest freshwater lake in the Caucasus region, is characterized by a variety of geological hazards capable of producing events of inter-related triggering. Among other threats, the lake tsunami hazard has remained unexplored.

Objective: To assess whether the recent use of antipsychotics is associated with an increased risk of ARF in U.S.
Background: Concerns have been raised regarding proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Observational studies have yielded heterogeneous results and were subject to important methodological limitations.
Aims: To examine the association between the receipt of PPIs and risk of COVID-19 hospitalizations and severe in-hospital outcomes or death.
Article Synopsis
- - Tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) is a serious medical emergency that occurs when cancer cells break down rapidly, releasing their contents into the bloodstream, which can lead to severe electrolyte imbalances and potential organ failure.
- - Common complications of TLS include high levels of uric acid, potassium, and phosphate, as well as low calcium levels, which can affect kidney function and increase the risk of seizures or even death.
- - Prevention involves careful monitoring and hydration to protect kidney health, and treatments may include medications like rasburicase and allopurinol to manage uric acid levels, though the role of xanthine measurement during treatment is still being researched.
