Contrast‐enhanced CT—Nephrotoxic or not? A critical review of propensity‐score‐adjusted studies

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 300, Issue 1, Page 5-25, July 2026.
Abstract Retrospective, propensity‐score‐adjusted (PSA) studies have indicated to practitioners in the field that contrast‐induced acute kidney injury (AKI) after contrast‐enhanced CT (CECT) is of minor importance or even non‐existent. This has led to controversies between clinicians demanding CECT not to miss any diagnoses and radiologists reluctant ...

Drying Effect of Landfalling Tropical Cyclones

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The high precipitation efficiency of tropical cyclones (TCs) is theorized to dehydrate the atmosphere, a process with important climate implications that has yet to be confirmed by direct observational evidence. Using satellite and reanalysis data, this study statistically examines the drying effect of landfalling TCs. Results indicate a local

Modeling the Distribution, Impacts, and Mitigation of Anthropogenic Heat in Los Angeles

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Anthropogenic heat emissions from human energy consumption contribute to the urban heat island (UHI) effect, yet their spatiotemporal distributions and impacts remain uncertain. In this study, we develop a 100 m resolution, hourly anthropogenic heat flux (AHF) data set for Los Angeles County and use the Weather Research and Forecasting model ...

Toward Improved Tropical Cyclone Forecasting: An Optimized Strategy Combining Dynamic Initialization and Bogus Data Assimilation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract In numerical weather prediction, dynamic initialization (DI) of tropical cyclones (TCs) and bogus data assimilation (BDA) are two widely used vortex initialization methods, both of which substantially affect the track and intensity of simulated TCs.

The use of carbon footprinting studies to determine the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the provision of aspects of renal healthcare within the National Health Service [PDF]

Climate change presents a major threat to global health and will further exacerbate the health inequalities that exist internationally. However, the provision of healthcare results in considerable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and is therefore ...

An Analysis of Hurricane Eyewall Ice Using a Novel Lagrangian Trajectory and Growth Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Ice crystals in tropical cyclones (TCs) remain infrequently observed and difficult to model using Eulerian microphysics parameterizations. To better understand TC eyewall ice crystal processes, the Ice Crystal Trajectory Growth (ICTG) model, previously applied to an idealized squall line, was used to simulate Lagrangian ice crystal ...

Analysing Novel Structures of Protein Complexes Requiring the Central Plant Immune Regulator EDS1

, 2013
Plants as sessile organisms are constantly attacked by pathogens and have evolved a complex immune system to cope with this challenge. The first inducible layer of plant immunity recognises pathogens outside each plant cell and activates a resistance ...

Performance Evaluation of the MPAS Model in Simulating Southeast Asian Rainfall Characteristics

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
This study evaluates the performance of the Model for Prediction Across Scales–Atmosphere (MPAS) in reproducing key rainfall characteristics over Southeast Asia (SEA) during 2000–2020, using the MSWEP dataset as reference. MPAS realistically captures the observed meridional rainfall gradient, with higher rainfall in the south and lower in the north, as

Three Generations of NARCliM: Evaluation of Precipitation, Temperature and Their Extremes Over the CORDEX Australasia Domain

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
The NSW and Australian Regional Climate Modelling Version 2.0 (NARCliM2.0) builds on NARCliM1.0 and 1.5 to deliver improved regional climate simulations. This study provides the first comprehensive evaluation of NARCliM2.0 against its predecessors, assessing individual model skill in reproducing mean and extreme climate.
