Conversion of fetal circulation to adult-type occurs immediately after birth but neonates with problems in the development of pulmonary vasculature are prone to revert back to fetal circulation. This phenomenon is known as flip-flop circulation which may be induced perioperatively and as such anesthesiologist are central to its management. We report a case of term neonate planned for repair of duodenal atresia that despite having no respiratory symptom preoperatively developed severe hypoxemia under anesthesia that was even unresponsive to 100% oxygen.

Sustainable management of drinking water reservoirs requires taking into account the potential effects of their catchments' development. This study is an attempt to estimate the daily patterns of nutrients transport in the catchment - reservoir systems through the application of the ensemble of complementary models SWAT-SALMO. SWAT quantifies flow, nitrate and phosphate loadings originating in catchments before entering downstream reservoirs meanwhile SALMO determines phosphate, nitrate, and chlorophyll-a concentrations within the reservoirs.

Article Synopsis
  • Mediterranean catchments face significant seasonal variability and heightened vulnerability to future climate and land use changes, which complicates water resource management.
  • The study used the eco-hydrological model SWAT to analyze the Onkaparinga catchment, revealing that future climate and land use changes could reduce total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) loads by up to 55% and 56%, respectively, while also indicating a potential decline in water flow.
  • Despite slight impacts from land use changes, significant alterations in water yield and nutrient loads are expected mainly under high emission scenarios, particularly in spring, raising concerns about increased algal blooms in summer and emphasizing the need for comprehensive planning and assessment for future
