Introduction: The management of patients with Polycythemia Vera (PV) traditionally includes low-dose aspirin, phlebotomy, and cytoreductive therapy for high-risk individuals. Recent evidence suggests that cytoreductive treatment may be warranted for patients with additional risk factors beyond the traditional criteria of a history of thrombosis and age over 60 years. Introducing new therapeutic agents, including ropeginterferon alfa-2b and ruxolitinib, enables a more personalized treatment approach tailored to individual patient characteristics.

The rapid impact assessment matrix (RIAM) is a widely utilized tool for evaluating environmental impacts in municipal solid waste management. However, the traditional RIAM (T-RIAM) method includes ambiguities in its scoring classification, which can hinder decision-making accuracy. This study introduces a modified RIAM approach, enhancing classification precision by refining impact categories, making it particularly valuable for projects constrained by time and resources.
