Urban stormwater management is crucial for mitigating the impacts of flooding in urban areas, as it plays a vital role in protecting infrastructures, ensuring public safety, and preserving environmental quality. In this study, we develop a new method to quantify urban flood risk (UFR) by integrating the components of hazard magnitude and vulnerability. The hazard is assessed using a coupled SWMM-HEC-RAS 2D model, where the flooding rate calculated by SWMM at each node is automatically fed into HEC-RAS-2D.

Department of Health Promotion, Mother and Child Care, Internal Medicine and Medical Specialties, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy.

Background: In recent years, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have emerged as a valuable treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure. Despite these medications seeming to be safe in older people, the literature about SGLT2i and frailty is still limited. This study aims to evaluate whether SGLT2i use is associated with increased survival in older adults and if frailty can affect the findings.
