Setting priorities for floods mitigation through forest restoration: The threshold elevation hypothesis.

Nature based solutions (NbS) for flood regulation (e.g., forest restoration) need to be informed by the analysis of climate change and land-use/cover change (LUCC) effects on floods, but these effects are still poorly understood.

Predictive Value of Diaphragm and Lung Ultrasonography for Weaning Failure in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure Due to COVID-19 Pneumonia.

Background: This study analyzed weaning characteristics and assessed the association of clinical and ultrasonographic indices-maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), peak flow expiratory (PFE), diaphragm-thickening fraction (DTF), diaphragm thickness (DT), diaphragm excursion (DE), diaphragm-RSBI (D-RSBI), and lung ultrasound (LUS) patterns-with weaning failure.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included critically ill COVID-19 patients aged 18 and older who had been on invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 48 h and undergoing weaning. Exclusion criteria included absence of ultrasound assessments, neuromuscular diseases, and chronic cardio-respiratory dysfunction.

[A practical model to implement the patient participation in tertiary hospitals (ICE model)].

Objective: Democratise healthcare and research through a model that ensures the participation of patients and professionals.

Method: Weaknesses are analysed and corrections are articulated with a model through biweekly meetings between the hospital's citizen attention and healthcare management.

Results: The resulting model is proactive in nature, deployed between November-2021 and December-2023 and had three elements: Information, Co-creation and Strategy (ICE).

PatagoniaMet: A multi-source hydrometeorological dataset for Western Patagonia.

Western Patagonia (40-56°S) is a clear example of how the systematic lack of publicly available data and poor quality control protocols have hindered further hydrometeorological studies. To address these limitations, we present PatagoniaMet (PMET), a compilation of ground-based hydrometeorological data (PMET-obs; 1950-2020), and a daily gridded product of precipitation and temperature (PMET-sim; 1980-2020). PMET-obs was developed considering a 4-step quality control process applied to 523 hydrometeorological time series obtained from eight institutions in Chile and Argentina.

Analytical Pyrolysis of and : Effects of Microwave Pretreatment on Pyrolytic Vapours Composition.

(PR) and (EG) are the most planted species in Chile. This research aims to evaluate the pyrolysis behaviour of PR and EG from the Bío Bío region in Chile. Biomass samples were subjected to microwave pretreatment considering power (259, 462, 595, and 700 W) and time (1, 2, 3, and 5 min).
