AI Article Synopsis

  • - Long-term observations of CO levels and carbon isotopes show that North America's carbon uptake significantly increases during El Niño years compared to La Niña years, by about 0.61 PgC per year from 2007 to 2015.
  • - North American net ecosystem exchange (NEE) is influenced by seasonal temperature fluctuations, with a notable opposite correlation, while water availability consistently affects NEE throughout the year.
  • - The findings indicate that during El Niño, favorable conditions like higher water availability and optimal temperatures lead to greater carbon absorption in North America.

Article Abstract

Long-term atmospheric CO mole fraction and δCO observations over North America document persistent responses to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. We estimate these responses corresponded to 0.61 (0.45 to 0.79) PgC year more North American carbon uptake during El Niño than during La Niña between 2007 and 2015, partially offsetting increases of net tropical biosphere-to-atmosphere carbon flux around El Niño. Anomalies in derived North American net ecosystem exchange (NEE) display strong but opposite correlations with surface air temperature between seasons, while their correlation with water availability was more constant throughout the year, such that water availability is the dominant control on annual NEE variability over North America. These results suggest that increased water availability and favorable temperature conditions (warmer spring and cooler summer) caused enhanced carbon uptake over North America near and during El Niño.

Background: Racial and ethnic disparities in health care delivery can lead to inadequate peripartum pain management and associated adverse maternal outcomes. An epidural blood patch (EBP) is the definitive treatment for moderate to severe postdural puncture headache (PDPH), a potentially debilitating neuraxial anesthesia complication associated with significant maternal morbidity if undertreated. In this nationwide study, we examine the racial and ethnic disparities in the inpatient utilization of EBP after obstetric PDPH in the United States.

Effects of COVID-19 Infection on Symptom Severity and Disability in Multiple Sclerosis.

Neurology

January 2025

Department of Internal Medicine, Max Rady College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba.

Background And Objectives: Infections, including infection with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), could alter the course of multiple sclerosis (MS). Previous studies assessing the effects of COVID-19 on MS outcomes were small and had discordant findings. The study objective was to evaluate the association of COVID-19 infection with changes in the trajectory of MS symptoms and disability.

Objective: This study examined whether a responsive parenting (RP) intervention for first-time Black mothers had secondary benefits for their mental health by reducing their postpartum depressive symptoms.

Method: In total, 212 first-time Black mothers participated in the Sleep Strong African American Families randomized control trial. Mothers were randomized to the RP condition or a safety control condition at 1-week postpartum.

Reenvisioning ethnic-racial identity: Asian Indian American experiences.

Am Psychol

December 2024

Department of Counseling, Developmental, and Educational Psychology, Boston College.

Identity formation among immigrant communities, particularly for ethnic-racial minorities like Asian Indian Americans, is a multifaceted process. Shaped by preimmigration histories of British colonization and the caste system and the Indian diasporic postimmigration, experiences of physical and psychological displacement alongside racism in the United States contribute to the complexity of identity for this community. Although existing racial and ethnic identity models offer valuable frameworks, they may not fully capture the nuanced in-between spaces created by the intersectionality of ethnicity and race for Asian Indian Americans in the United States.

There is increasing awareness that marine invertebrates such as abalones are at risk from the combined stressors of fishing and climate change. Abalones are an important marine fishery resource and of cultural importance to Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. A highly priced marine delicacy, they are inherently vulnerable: individuals are slow-growing and long-lived and successful reproduction requires dense assemblages.
