Rasche #Wetterveränderungen könnten das #Schlaganfallrisiko erhöhen. In einer Studie mit 1694 Patienten aus Zentraldeutschland stieg das #Risiko für ischämische #Schlaganfälle um 11 % pro 2,9 °C Temperaturabfall innerhalb von 24 Stunden. Besonders gefährdet sind Menschen mit hohem #kardiovaskulären Risiko – bei ihnen erhöhte sich das Schlaganfallrisiko bei Temperaturschwankungen um 30 %.
Observational studies focusing on absolute meteorological values suggest an association between meteorological parameters and stroke risk but these results are inconsistent and conflicting. Since changes in weather can provoke atrial fibrillation, we examined the association between rapid weather changes and stroke risk in 1694 patients with determinable onset of stroke symptoms in a case-crossover study in central Germany. Days one to three before stroke onset were classified as hazard periods and day seven as the respective control period. Risk of ischemic stroke in relation to 24 h differences in mean ambient temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure was determined. The association between temperature and stroke risk appears to be close to linear with an increase in stroke risk of 11 % (odds ratio 1.11, 95 % confidence interval 1.01–1.22) for each 2.9 °C temperature decrease over 24 h. In individuals with a higher cardiovascular risk, stroke risk increased by 30 % (1.30, 1.06–1.61). Risk for cardioembolic strokes increased by 26 % (1.26, 1.06–1.50). Rapid positive or negative changes in relative humidity (>5 %) and atmospheric pressure (>10 hPa) increased stroke risk by a maximum of 30 % (1.30, 1.02–1.66) and 63 % (1.63, 1.10–2.42). In individuals with a higher cardiovascular risk, rapid changes in atmospheric pressure were associated with a four-times higher stroke risk (4.56, 1.26–16.43). Our results suggest that rapid decreases in ambient temperature and rapid changes in relative humidity and atmospheric pressure increase stroke risk under temperate climate conditions. Individuals with a high cardiovascular risk profile seem to be at greater risk.
Eine neue Studie aus Schottland zeigt, dass Frauen, die vor dem 14. Lebensjahr gegen #HPV geimpft wurden, keine Fälle von #Gebärmutterhalskrebs entwickelten. Die Untersuchung mit 450.000 Frauen bestätigte die extreme Wirksamkeit des #Impfstoffs. Insbesondere bei Mädchen, die vor dem ersten sexuellen Kontakt geimpft wurden, war der Schutz am höchsten.

#Dürreperioden im #Amazonasgebiet spielen eine wesentliche Rolle bei der #Erwärmung der #Meeresoberflächentemperaturen (SST) im Nordtropischen #Atlantik. Die #Dürre im #Amazonas schwächt die Hadley-Zirkulation über dem tropischen Atlantik, was durch Wind-Evaporation-SST-Rückkopplungsmechanismen die Erwärmung verstärkt. Simulationen und ein empirisches Modell bestätigen diese Zusammenhänge.

North Tropical Atlantic (NTA) has been warming rapidly in the winter, with a warming rate that exceeds the global average sea surface temperature (SST). However, the reasons for this enhanced warming remain unclear. Here we suggest that Amazon drought contributes to the rapid NTA warming. Observational analyses reveal that Amazon Soil Moisture (ASM) in autumn shows a significant inverse relationship with NTA SST in winter. Decreased ASM in autumn, persists via Land-Atmosphere (L-A) feedback, leads to weakened Hadley circulation over the Tropical Atlantic in winter. The Wind-Evaporation-SST (WES) feedback mechanism further causes the warming of NTA SST. Simulations from CMIP6 fully coupled models and SM-forced mixed layer ocean model suggest that the Amazon drought weakens the Hadley circulation over the Tropical Atlantic and warms the NTA SST. An ASM-based empirical model reproduces the observed NTA SST variations (r = 0.72, p < 0.05), further highlighting a role for Amazon drought in amplifying ocean warming.

This study calls for more openness, while it, itself, is published behind a paywall.
