Pulmonary embolism diagnosis with D-dimer levels and computed tomography
Authors: Kruger Rochelle A. , Du Plessis Jeanetta , Muller Henra 
Published: December 2024

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE), a common heart and blood vessel disease, causes complications such as haemodynamic instability and cardiovascular mortality. Timely diagnosis and treatment are imperative for managing this potentially life-threatening condition.Aim: The aim of this study was to establish the relationship between an elevated D-dimer level and a positive computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA), which could confirm PE in patients with chest pain and suspected PE.Setting: Data were collected at a private diagnostic radiology practice located in Bloemfontein, South Africa.Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from the Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS).Results: Of the sampled patients (n = 1219), only 16.7% were diagnosed with PE after CTPA. Approximately 14% of the D-dimer-positive patient group were diagnosed with PE and, in the D-dimer-negative patient group, approximately 20% of the patients were diagnosed with PE. Of the patients sampled, 86% were not diagnosed with PE despite having increased D-dimer values. No specific trends in the relation between elevated D-dimer levels and a positive PE diagnosis could be identified at the significance level of 0.05; a Chi-square test of independence indicated (χ2 [1, N = 995] = 1.84, p = 0.175).Conclusion: No strong relationship between elevated D-dimer levels in the blood and a positive yield of PE after CTPA; was found hence, clinical decision rules for PE workups need refining, especially to limit unnecessary CTPA referrals in this setting.Contribution: The findings suggest that PE workup at the private practice should be revised to improve the quality of service.

No ano de 2020 a população mundial foi impactada com o COVID-19, o que levou a população a ressignificar as práticas no contexto do lazer. Em Natal/RN, por exemplo, bares, shoppings, cinemas, foram fechados, bem como alguns espaços públicos como parques e até na praia foi proibida a circulação de pessoas. O estudo teve como objetivo compreender as possibilidades de vivências de lazer dos estudantes antes e durante o isolamento social na pandemia de COVID-19. O estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva. Foi aplicado um questionário online disponível pelo Google Forms. O questionário teve questões abertas e fechadas relacionadas à temática do lazer e saúde mental em período de isolamento social. Obtive-se o retorno de 72 respostas. Os dados foram apreciados por meio da análise de conteúdo de Bardin, a partir da técnica de análise categorial. Quando comparadas às práticas no contexto do lazer antes e durante o isolamento social devido à pandemia, pode-se observar o quão tais práticas passaram por processos de ressignificação e adaptação. As diferenças mais gritantes foram encontros com familiares e amigos, passeios em shoppings e praias, seguido da frequência aos cinemas. Durante o período de isolamento, destaca-se o aumento do consumo da Internet, seguido por filmes e séries e ouvir músicas. Deve-se salientar, que as condições de moradia, os aspectos socioeconômicos, as relações familiares, entre outros fatores, podem impactar diretamente nas oportunidades de lazer acessíveis e na forma como estas práticas foram vivenciadas pelos estudantes durante o período de isolamento social.

Authors: Cordoba Pulido Natalia , Rodriguez Prieto Laura Katherine 
Published: December 2024

Chylothorax and chylous ascites are rare pathologies, with a high rate of mortality if untreated promptly, mostly associated with an active oncology disease. In the current evidence, we found just a few case reports and observational studies. Clinical case: We report a case of a 66-year-old woman, who presents with a chylothorax and possible chylous ascites, CT scan showed para- aortic mass and immunohistochemical analysis showed a follicular lymphoma. Regarding the chylothorax, we discuss the diversity of their clinical characteristics, limitations of the diagnosis, treatment possibilities and facilitating pathophysiological mechanisms. Conclusion: In the context of non-traumatic chylothorax, clinical suspicion, early diagnosis and timely management are essential given the high mortality described when left untreated.

Abstract. The hygroscopicity of organic aerosol (κOA) plays a crucial role in cloud droplet activation and aerosol–radiation interactions. This study investigated the viability of an optical scatter monitor system, featuring two nephelometric monitors (pDR-1500), to determine κOA after knowing the aerosol chemical composition. This system was operated during a mobile lab deployment on Long Island in the summer of 2023, which was executed to coordinate with the Atmospheric Emissions and Reactions Observed from Megacities to Marine Areas (AEROMMA) field campaign. The derived κOA under subsaturated high-humidity conditions (RH between 85 % and 95 %) were categorized based on different aerosol sources, including wildfire aerosol, urban aerosol, and aerosol from rural conditions. The κOA and the OA
O:C ratio exhibited linear positive relationships for the urban aerosol and the aerosol from rural conditions, with a much higher slope (0.50 vs. 0.24) for the latter. However, there was no clear relationship between κOA and the OA O:C ratio observed during each period affected by wildfire plumes. The system proposed here could be widely applied alongside the current aerosol component measurement systems, providing valuable insights into the large-scale spatial and temporal variations in OA hygroscopicity.
Current status of water-related planning for climate change adaptation in the Spree river basin, Germany
Authors: Arndt Saskia , Heiland Stefan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Fuelled by climate change, low flows, heavy rain and flooding will likely intensify in the future, adding to the pressures experienced by rivers in western and central Europe in recent decades. To meet these challenges, comprehensive water-related adaptation to climate change is indispensable. Based on the case study of the Spree river basin in Germany, this study analysed legally defined plans for water management, spatial planning and landscape planning for their current status of integrated climate change adaptation. To pre-structure the document analysis, eight water management fields of action for adaptation to climate change were identified using official recommendations for action. A total of 39 % of the 28 plans analysed specify objectives and measures for adapting to climate change. Of these, 55 % address the diverse impacts of climate change in a more comprehensive way, including prevention and mitigation of droughts and floods, as well as protection of water ecosystems and groundwater resources. Filling these planning gaps may include more frequent updating of plans, a greater focus on evidence from informal plans, multifunctional measures, and the adaptation of best-practice examples for the systematic integration of climate change impacts and adaptation. Planning and implementing comprehensive climate change adaptation will strengthen the resilience of ecosystems and secure human livelihoods.

Abstract. Natural hazards have serious impacts worldwide on society, economy, and environment. In Vietnam, throughout the years, natural hazards have caused significant loss of lives as well as severe devastation to houses, crops, and transportation. This research presents a new approach to multi-hazard (floods and wildfires) exposure estimates using machine learning models, Google Earth Engine, and spatial analysis tools for a typical case study in the province of Quang Nam in Central Vietnam. A geospatial database is built for multiple-hazard modeling, including an inventory of climate-related hazards (floods and wildfires), topography, geology, hydrology, climate features (temperature, rainfall, wind), land use, and building data for exposure assessment. The susceptibility of each hazard is first modeled and then integrated into a multi-hazard exposure matrix to demonstrate a hazard profiling approach to multi-hazard risk assessment. The results are explicitly illustrated for flood and wildfire hazards and the exposure of buildings. Susceptibility models using the random forest approach provide model accuracy of AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) = 0.882 and 0.884 for floods and wildfires, respectively. The flood and wildfire hazards are combined within a semi-quantitative matrix to assess the building exposure to different hazards. Digital multi-hazard exposure maps of floods and wildfires aid the identification of areas exposed to climate-related hazards and the potential impacts of hazards. This approach can be used to inform communities and regulatory authorities on where to develop and implement long-term adaptation solutions.
