This study presents novel insight into the mechanisms of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) reduction and its recovery under a warmer climate scenario. An one-thousand-year-long numerical simulation of a global coupled ocean-ice-atmosphere climate model, subjected to a stationary atmospheric radiative forcing, depict a coherent picture of the Arctic sea ice melting as a trigger for the initial AMOC reduction, along with decreases in the northward fluxes of salt and heat. Further atmospheric-driven ocean processes contribute to an erosion of the stable stratification of the fresher, yet colder waters in the surface layers of the North Atlantic, contributing to the recovery of a permanently altered AMOC.

Cyanobacterial blooms pose a significant environmental threat in freshwater ecosystems. These cyanobacteria exhibit resilience to cold and dark conditions during winter and flourish as temperature rise in warmer seasons. However, there is a limited understanding of the dynamic growth recovery process and regulatory signaling mechanisms in cyanobacteria after overwintering.

Environmental temperature shapes the ontogeny of ectotherms by influencing rates of growth and development which can be key determinants of survival. Whereas the escalating impacts of water management on freshwater ecosystems is well documented, the effects of cold-water releases from dams-which can alter downstream temperatures-remains relatively underexplored but may present novel challenges to endemic ectotherms. Specifically, little is known about how thermal depressions reshape phenotypic and genetic patterns during larval metamorphosis for fishes that evolved in warmwater systems.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
  • - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
  • - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.

Article Synopsis
  • Perioperative hypothermia, a frequent but often overlooked issue during surgery, is influenced by factors like cold environments and anesthetic effects.
  • A study conducted at North Manchester General Hospital analyzed temperature data from 200 elective surgery patients, revealing varying hypothermia rates at different surgical phases.
  • The findings indicate a significant incidence of intraoperative hypothermia, emphasizing the need for proactive measures like patient pre-warming to prevent this complication.

Cellular therapy (CT) involving the transplantation of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) is a treatment modality for both benign and malignant disorders. All autologous products require cryopreservation while allogeneic product cryopreservation became more common during the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Cells are stored in liquid nitrogen (LN) freezers which can malfunction and products may have to be temporarily stored in a mechanical -80 °C freezer if additional LN freezer space is not available.
