| 1 | RECENT ADVANCES IN RESEARCH AND FORECASTING OF TROPICAL CYCLONE TRACK, INTENSITY, AND STRUCTURE AT LANDFALL显示文摘This review prepared for the fourth International Workshop on Tropical Cyclone Landfall Processes(IWTCLP-4) summarizes the most recent(2015-2017) theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of tropical cyclone(TC) track, intensity, and structure rapid changes at or near landfall. Although the focus of IWTCLPIV was on landfall, this summary necessarily embraces the characteristics of storms during their course over the ocean prior to and leading up to landfall. In the past few years, extremely valuable observational datasets have been collected for TC forecasting guidance and research studies using both aircraft reconnaissance and new geostationary or low-earth orbiting satellites at high temporal and spatial resolution. Track deflections for systems near complex topography such as that of Taiwan and La Réunion have been further investigated, and advanced numerical models with high spatial resolution necessary to predict the interaction of the TC circulation with steep island topography have been developed. An analog technique has been designed to meet the need for longer range landfall intensity forecast guidance that will provide more time for emergency preparedness. Probabilistic track and intensity forecasts have also been developed to better communicate on forecast uncertainty. Operational practices of several TC forecast centers are described herein and some challenges regarding forecasts and warnings for TCs making landfall are identified. This review concludes with insights from both researchers and forecasters regarding future directions to improve predictions of TC track, intensity, and structure at landfall. | MARIE-DOMINIQUE LEROUX KIMBERLY WOOD RUSSELL L.ELSBERRY ESPERANZA O.CAYANAN ERIC HENDRICKS MATTHEW KUCAS PETER OTTO ROBERT ROGERS BUCK SAMPSON ZIFENG YU | 2018 | Tropical Cyclone Research and Review2018,7,2: | 4 |

| 12 | COVID-19 among African Americans and Hispanics:Does gastrointestinal symptoms impact the outcome?显示文摘BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)disproportionately affected African Americans(AA)and Hispanics(HSP).AIM To analyze the significant effectors of outcome in African American patient population and make special emphasis on gastrointestinal(GI)symptoms,laboratory values and comorbidities METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of 386 COVID-19 positive patients admitted at Howard University Hospital between March and May 2020.We assessed the symptoms,including the GI manifestations,comorbidities,and mortality,using logistic regression analysis.RESULTS Of these 386 COVID-19 positive patients,257(63.7%)were AAs,102(25.3%)HSP,and 26(6.45%)Whites.There were 257(63.7%)AA,102(25.3%)HSP,26(6.45%)Whites.The mean age was 55.6 years(SD=18.5).However,the mean age of HSP was the lowest(43.7 years vs 61.2 for Whites vs 60 for AAs).The mortality rate was highest among the AAs(20.6%)and lowest among HSP(6.9%).Patients with shortness of breath(SOB)(OR2=3.64,CI=1.73-7.65)and elevated AST(OR2=8.01,CI=3.79-16.9)elevated Procalcitonin(OR2=8.27,CI=3.95-17.3),AST(OR2=8.01,CI=3.79-16.9),ferritin(OR2=2.69,CI=1.24-5.82),and Lymphopenia(OR2=2.77,CI=1.41-5.45)had a high mortality rate.Cough and fever were common but unrelated to the outcome.Hypertension and diabetes mellitus were the most common comorbidities.Glucocorticoid treatment was associated with higher mortality(OR2=5.40,CI=2.72-10.7).Diarrhea was prevalent(18.8%),and GI symptoms did not affect the outcome.CONCLUSION African Americans in our study had the highest mortality as they consisted of an older population and comorbidities.Age is the most important factor along with SOB in determining the mortality rate.Overall,elevated liver enzymes,ferritin,procalcitonin and C-reactive protein were associated with poor prognosis.GI symptoms did not affect the outcome.Glucocorticoids should be used judiciously,considering the poor outcomes associated with it.Attention should also be paid to monitor liver function during COVID-19,especially in AA and HSP patients with higher disease severity. | Hassan Ashktorab Adeleye Folake Antonio Pizuorno Gholamreza Oskrochi Philip Oppong-Twene NuriTamanna Maryam Mehdipour Dalivand Lisa N Umeh Esther S Moon Abdoul Madjid Kone Abigail Banson Cassandra Federman Edward Ramos Eyitope Ola Awoyemi Boubini Jones Wonni Eric Otto Guttu Maskalo Alexandra Ogando Velez Sheldon Rankine Camelita Thrift Chiamaka Ekwunazu Derek Scholes LakshmiGayathri Chirumamilla Mohd Elmugtaba Ibrahim Brianna Mitchell Jillian Ross Julencia Curtis Rachel Kim Chandler Gilliard Joseph Mathew Adeyinka Laiyemo Angesum Kibreab Edward Lee Zaki Sherif Babak Shokrani Farshad Aduli Hassan Brim | 2021 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2021,9,28: | 0 |
