Article Synopsis
- A study investigated whether people with HIV (PWH), both virally suppressed and not suppressed, face a higher risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to those without HIV.
- The research included 173,884 hospitalized patients, finding that PWH are at increased risk of AKI, regardless of their viral suppression status.
- The study suggests that HIV is an independent risk factor for AKI and calls for further research to understand how HIV contributes to this risk and ways to prevent AKI in PWH.
We describe an aircraft-based Fourier-transform spectrometer (FTS) designed to measure the Earth outgoing radiance spectrum in the far-infrared-submillimeter spectral range. The instrument features include a rapid-scan FTS to obtain high spatial resolution from a moving aircraft platform, a sensitive two-channel detector, and a CCD camera for recording the nadir cloud scene with each scan record. Such measurements demonstrate the sensitivity of Earth radiance to high clouds and provide spectral data for improving techniques for remote sensing and retrieval of atmospheric and cloud properties.
