Recipes for Change validation report: Senegalese Poulet Yassa [PDF]

, 2015
The main climate risks to onion cultivation in Senegal are: (i) the availability of water resources in the major growing regions (particularly the Niayes region); (ii) increased incidence of extreme rainfall events and resulting damages to ...

Association Between Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis and Target Glycemic Control in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Knee osteoarthritis (OA) commonly affects individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and is associated with increased risk of diabetes‐related complications. To better understand potential mechanisms, we examined the association between symptomatic knee OA and glycemic control in individuals with T2DM.

Extreme skew surge estimation combining systematic skew surges and historical record sea levels on the English Channel and North Sea coasts

Journal of Flood Risk Management
Coastal planning implies the estimation of extreme sea levels. As the distribution of astronomical high tides can be predicted, most recent publications suggest focusing on the estimation of extreme skew surges.

Evaluating a Pragmatic Strength Alternative for Frailty Measurement and Assessing Its Predictive Capacity Against Established Frailty Instruments in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Frailty occurs prematurely in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is associated with poor health outcomes. We compared the performance of four frailty instruments, including a pragmatic alternative measure using chair sit‐to‐stand (STS), and evaluated their abilities to predict poor health outcomes.

US-CoastEX: Observation-based probabilistic reanalysis of storm surge and sea level extremes for the United States

Scientific Data
Reliable estimates of storm surge and sea level extremes with proper uncertainty quantification are key for cost-effective risk/adaptation planning. However, observational estimates are often unavailable or uncertain along most coastlines owing to data ...

On the use of SWOT altimetry data for monitoring coastal hydrodynamics

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Satellite altimetry has proven highly effective for monitoring sea surface variability in open oceans and continental shelves, yet its extension to nearshore environments remains challenging. Within the framework of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography

Does Long‐Term Lower Extremity Strength Training in Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis and Varus Alignment Reduce Knee Joint Loading During Gait?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Rheumatologic Manifestations of Patients With Type B Insulin Resistance

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objectives of this study were to identify laboratory and clinical features associated with type B insulin resistance (TBIR), a rare condition caused by autoantibodies that inhibit the insulin receptor, most frequently occurring in the setting of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to increase awareness of this rare, life‐threatening ...

Improving simulations of daily mean dynamic sea level extremes in the Gulf of Mexico with high-resolution community earth system model

Environmental Research Letters
Extreme sea-level events, such as those caused by tropical cyclones (TCs), pose significant risks to coastal areas. However, the current generation of climate models struggles to simulate these events due to coarse resolution.
