Article Synopsis
- Hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) is a serious condition that can lead to heart failure, and this study aimed to find out which factors are predictors of developing heart failure in these patients.* -
- Using CART analysis on 146 HPS patients, researchers discovered that factors like cardiothoracic ratio (CTR), NT-proBNP levels, and C-reactive protein (CRP) are significant predictors, with CTR being the most critical one.* -
- The results underscore the importance of early identification of these predictors to improve patient outcomes and inform future research on managing heart failure in HPS.*
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) reaching high-latitudes in summer contribute to the majority of climatological poleward water vapor transport into the Arctic. This transport has exhibited long term changes over the past decades, which cannot be entirely explained by anthropogenic forcing according to ensemble model responses. Here, through observational analyses and model experiments in which winds are adjusted to match observations, we demonstrate that low-frequency, large-scale circulation changes in the Arctic play a decisive role in regulating AR activity and thus inducing the recent upsurge of this activity in the region.

This study investigates atmospheric blocking patterns over the AP through historical (1981-2010) and future (2071-2100, SSP5-8.5) periods using ERA5 reanalysis and six CMIP6 models, including multi-member realizations from two models totaling ten simulations.

Objective: The aim of the study was to assess ICU mortality rates and the factors associated with mortality in patients with hematologic malignancies receiving urgent chemotherapy in the ICU.
