These individuals are at risk of developing incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), a common type of irritant contact dermatitis caused by repeated and prolonged direct contact of the skin with urine and stool. The prevalence of IAD in these settings is high.

An ensemble Kalman filter reanalysis has been archived in the Research Data Archive at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. It used a CAM6 configuration of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), several million observations per day, and the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART). The data saved from this global, [Formula: see text] resolution, 80 member ensemble span 2011-2019.

Article Synopsis
  • Global coupled chemistry-climate models tend to underestimate carbon monoxide (CO) levels in the Northern Hemisphere, especially peaking in late winter and early spring, which is linked to factors beyond just emissions from human activity and biomass burning.
  • A study using data from the KORUS-AQ experiment revealed that CO was underestimated by 42% in a control scenario, while using satellite data assimilation reduced this bias significantly.
  • Adjusting CO emissions in models not only improved CO accuracy but also positively impacted related compounds such as ozone and hydroxyl (OH), indicating that better accounting for anthropogenic sources enhances overall air quality modeling.

The burdens caused by chronic wounds on the affected persons themselves and also on the health care system are well recognised. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of chronic wounds in German nursing homes. An annual cross-sectional study was conducted in nursing home residents from 2012 to 2018.

Introduction: Chronic or non-healing wounds are a serious problem for both the parties involved and the healthcare system. Currently, there are hardly any reliable data on the prevalence of chronic wounds in outpatient care, although this setting is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of and the factors associated with chronic wounds in clients cared for by home care services.
