Tropical cyclones (TCs) are among the most devastating weather systems affecting the United States and Central America (USCA). Here we show that the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) strongly modulates TC activity over the North Atlantic (NA) and eastern North Pacific (eNP). During positive IPO phases, less (more) TCs were observed over NA (eNP), likely due to the presence of stronger (weaker) vertical wind shear and the resulting changes in genesis potential. Furthermore, TCs over NA tend to keep their tracks more eastward and recurve at lower latitudes during positive IPO phases. Such variations are largely determined by changes in steering flow instead of changes in genesis locations. Over the eNP, smaller track variations are observed at different IPO phases with stable, westward movements of TCs prevailing. These findings have substantial implications for understanding decadal to inter-decadal fluctuations in the risk of TC landfalls along USCA coasts.

How does globally accumulated tropical cyclone energy vary in response to a changing climate?
Sci Bull (Beijing)
December 2024
Department of Ocean Science and Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen 518055, China. Electronic address:
How tropical cyclone (TC) activity varies in response to a changing climate is widely debated. The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) is one of the indicators of TC activity and has attracted considerable attention because of its close relationship with the damages caused by TCs. Previous studies have focused on detecting long-term trends in global ACE; however, the results are inconclusive.

Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) complexes have emerged as promising targets for anticancer therapies. The ability of peptides to mimic PP1-docking motifs, and so modulate interactions with regulatory factors, has enabled the creation of highly selective modulators of PP1-dependent cellular processes that promote tumor growth. The major objective of this study was to develop a novel bioactive cell-penetrating peptide (bioportide), which, by mimicking the PP1-binding motif of caveolin-1 (CAV1), would regulate PP1 activity, to hinder prostate cancer (PCa) progression.

Background: Mucosal visualization during upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy can be impaired by the presence of foam, bubbles, and mucus. Some UGI endoscopy visibility scales have been proposed but have not undergone multicenter validation. This study aimed to develop and validate the Gastroscopy RAte of Cleanliness Evaluation (GRACE) scale.

Management of typical and atypical metastatic lung carcinoids: present and future perspectives.
Clin Transl Oncol

Department of Medical Oncology, ULS de Santo António, Porto, Portugal.
Lung carcinoids are rare tumors representing 1-2% of all invasive lung malignancies. They include typical and atypical carcinoids, whose distinction is made based on the mitotic index and presence or absence of necrosis. The 10-year overall survival for stage IV typical carcinoid is 47% and 18% for atypical carcinoid, reflecting the indolent growth of these tumors.
