The convergence of urban expansion, deteriorating infrastructure, and a changing climate will escalate the risks of stormwater pollution and urban flooding in the coming decades. Using outputs from an ensemble of global climate models to drive a high spatial resolution stormwater model, we analyzed climate change impacts on urban stormwater runoff and control measures for 23 cities across the United States. Runoff model outputs for two future emissions scenarios ending in 2055 were compared against a historical scenario to assess changes.

Many co-benefits of GSI are related to increased vegetative cover, which can be measured with satellite imagery via spectral indices such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). In urban landscapes, there remain critical gaps in understanding how urban greenness and GSI influence hydrology.

For the replacement of missing teeth, resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) are a routine, minimally invasive option clinicians can use on patients who either cannot or will not move forward with surgical interventions. Advances in materials and design have greatly improved the longevity and prognoses for these prostheses. In some patients, however, debonding remains a clinical problem.

The setting is the medical intensive care unit of the Tripler Army Medical Center, Honolulu, Hawaii. The patient is a 58-year-old alcohol-dependent male presenting with mental status changes and agitation following an uncomplicated cystoprostatectomy, who ultimately required massive doses of benzodiazepines to treat his symptoms effectively.
