Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Global Delivery of Foetal Sequencing: Do We Need Some Standardisation?

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The development of sequencing technologies has resulted in rapid expansion in the testing available for foetuses with structural anomalies to diagnose monogenic disorders. To understand the variability in how foetal sequencing services are delivered, we developed a survey that focussed on the scope of testing, any parallel testing ...

Gene List Selection Matters: Missed Diagnoses in Prenatal Exome Sequencing—PanelApp R21 and HPO‐Driven Versus OMIM‐Based Gene Lists

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate whether the causative variants found upon clinical exome sequencing in fetuses affected with selected structural anomalies would also be detected if PanelApp‐R21 or Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO)‐driven gene selection terms were applied instead.

The Clinical Utility of Sequence‐Based Genetic Testing for Fetal Edema Following Non‐Diagnostic Microarray Results: A Population‐Based Cohort Study

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Ultrasound findings of fetal edema may provide early evidence of a genetic disorder. Our objective was to evaluate the frequency and diagnostic yield of sequencing in a selected population after a non‐diagnostic microarray result for fetal edema.

Characteristics of diabatically influenced cyclones with high wind damage potential in Europe

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Diabatic processes contribute, on average, 26% to the intensification of European winter storms, with diabatically driven cyclones exhibiting steeper deepening rates, stronger wind gusts, and increased precipitation. These storms are linked to enhanced warm conveyor belt (WCB) activity and develop in a warmer environment with elevated lower ...
