Irrigation rapidly expanded during the 20 century, affecting climate via water, energy, and biogeochemical changes. Previous assessments of these effects predominantly relied on a single Earth System Model, and therefore suffered from structural model uncertainties. Here we quantify the impacts of historical irrigation expansion on climate by analysing simulation results from six Earth system models participating in the Irrigation Model Intercomparison Project (IRRMIP).

Purpose: Research examining factors that impact parents of children with medical complexity (CMC) who also have critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) is limited. We examined relationships among family resources and social support, and how these influence parents' workload and capacity to care for their CMC with CCHD.

Methods: A non-experimental, cross-sectional design was conducted in a national sample of 106 parents of CMC with CCHD.

Article Synopsis
  • Cognitive motor dissociation (CMD) involves patients who can follow commands in brain scans like fMRI, despite showing no behavioral signs of language function, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis in severe brain injuries.
  • Recent findings outline a structured approach for assessing CMD at clinical institutions, underlining the need for ethical considerations, standardized protocols, and effective communication of results.
  • The proposed method for CMD assessment aims to be adaptable, allowing for updates and improvements as more evidence becomes available in the field.
