Laboratory Study of the Dynamics of a Pollutant Within a City Block During Urban Flooding

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract During urban flooding, pollutants from point releases (e.g., sewer overflows) transported in street runoff can invade city blocks, exposing residents to contamination risks. The present laboratory study focuses on the intrusion of pollutants from flooded streets into a porous city block under steady flow conditions.

Risk Factors of Blood Culture Positivity and Mortality in Bloodstream Infections: A Population‐Based Study of Patients With B‐Cell Malignancies

European Journal of Haematology, Volume 117, Issue 4, Page 1061-1071, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Bloodstream infections remain a major cause of mortality among cancer patients. Pathogen surveillance and risk stratification tools are key to improved management. This study describes trends in causative pathogens and explores risk factors for positive blood cultures (PBCs) and post‐infection mortality in cancer patients.
