    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the agreement between the Tafonius large animal ventilator-integrated volumetric capnography (vCap) software and the Respironics NICO noninvasive cardiac output monitor reference system.
    Animals: Data were collected from 56 healthy adult horses undergoing general anesthesia.
    Methods: Animals were placed under general anesthesia and connected to the Tafonius large animal ventilator circle system. A flow partitioning device with CO2 and flow sensors was utilized to couple the endotracheal tube to the NICO monitor. Tafonius CO2 and flow sensors are incorporated into the Y-piece of the breathing circuit. Arterial blood samples were collected to determine the partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) immediately before data collection. The PaCO2 was input into the Tafonius and NICO monitor, and dead space ventilation (%Vd), end-tidal CO2 partial pressure (ETco2), mixed-expired CO2 partial pressure (Peco2), and expired tidal volume (Vt) were calculated over a single breath. Multiple measurements were completed for each patient, with a total of 200 paired data points collected for analysis. Data were assessed for normality, and Bland-Altman analysis was performed. Bias and 95% limits of agreement were calculated.
    Results: The limits of agreement for %Vd of the ventilator-derived measurements fell within ± 10% of the NICO monitor reference method.
    Clinical relevance: Our results indicate that, when compared to the NICO monitor method, the Tafonius-integrated vCap software provides clinically acceptable values of Peco2, Vt, and %Vd in healthy adult horses.

    Abstract Mountainous sub-arctic catchments typically consist of various landscape elements such as glaciers, steep topography, fractured rock outcrops and talus covered slopes, patches of permafrost, vegetated and non-vegetated shallow soils, wetlands, and lakes which are connected by surface and subsurface flows to stream networks. Hydrological flows are strongly influenced by snow and glacier melt that affects seasonal and annual runoff variability, both locally and downstream. This leads to great variability in flow to receiving hydrological systems, which makes it difficult to accurately quantify and predict water resources in downstream regions. Transport of waterborne substances such as solutes and nutrients are also extremely difficult to quantify due to this notable variability, and predictive capabilities are further hampered by still unknown effects of climate warming, which is expected to cause a change from glacial meltwater-dominated runoff to hillslope runoff. In this contribution, we present results from recent field tracer experiments along hillslopes associated with groundwater springs in the sub-arctic periglacial catchment of Tarfala, located in northern Sweden. We obtain breakthrough curves for different wet and dry antecedent moisture conditions based on seasonal variability. This is combined with rainfall-runoff recession analysis as well as physics-based numerical modelling to study and interpret the flow paths through the hillslope and its runoff-generating processes and the relative magnitudes of surface to shallow to deep subsurface runoff. Furthermore, we highlight how these model-based simulations can be used to study long-term changes of permafrost degradation and water and heat fluxes in mountainous sub-arctic catchments subject to climate change.

    Abstract Permafrost thaw can cause an intensification of climate change through the release of carbon as greenhouse gases. While the effect of air temperature on permafrost thaw is well quantified, the effect of rainfall is highly variable and not well understood. Here, we provide a literature review of studies reporting on effects of rainfall on ground temperatures in permafrost environments and use a numerical model to explore the underlying physical mechanisms under different climatic conditions. Both the evaluated body of literature and the model simulations indicate that continental climates are likely to show a warming of the subsoil and hence increased end of season active layer thickness, while maritime climates tend to respond with a slight cooling effect. This suggests that dry regions with warm summers are prone to more rapid permafrost degradation under increased occurrences of heavy rainfall events in the future, which can potentially accelerate the permafrost carbon feedback.

    Abstract Flow and transport in three‐dimensional discrete fracture networks with internal variability in aperture and permeability are investigated using a numerical model. The analysis is conducted for three different texture types representing internal variability considering various correlation lengths and for an increase in domain size corresponding to an increase in network complexity. Internal variability in discrete fracture networks generally increases median travel times and delays arrival of bulk mass transport when compared against reference cases without texture, corresponding to smooth fractures. In particular, internal variability textures with weak connectivity increase travel times nonlinearly with domain size increase, further delaying bulk mass arrival. Textures with strong connectivity can however decrease median travel times, accelerating bulk mass arrival, but only for limited ranges of correlation length and domain size. As domain size increases, travel times of textures with strong connectivity converge toward travel times obtained for classical multivariant Gaussian textures. Thus, accounting for internal fracture variability is potentially significant for improving conservative estimates of bulk mass arrival, flow channeling, and advective and reactive transport in large‐scale discrete fracture networks. Further, early mass arrival can arrive significantly earlier for textures with strong connectivity and classical Gaussian textures corresponding to intermediate connectivity but are only slightly affected by textures with weak connectivity. Thus, accounting for internal variability in fractures is also important for accurate estimates of early solute mass arrival. The overall impact on predictive transport modeling will depend on the extent of, or lack of, internal fracture connectivity structure in real‐world fractured rocks.

    Abstract Background: The type and the extent of surgery is still debatable for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). Intraoperative pancreatoscopy (IOP) allows the visualization of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) in its entire length and could help determine the extent of MPD involvement and the type and extent of pancreatic resection. However, current guidelines do not advise its routine use as there is a lack of evidence supporting its safety and feasibility. The present study aims to perform a scoping review of published evidence on the safety and feasibility of IOP in IPMN surgical management.
    Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane, Medline and EMbase to identify studies reporting the use of IOP in IPMN surgical management. The research was completed in June 2023. Data extracted included patient selection criteria, demographics, safety of the procedure, intraoperative findings, impact on surgical strategy, histology results and postoperative outcomes.
    Results: Four retrospective and one prospective study were included in this scoping review. A total of 142 patients had IOP. The selection criteria for inclusion were heterogenous, with one out of five studies including branch duct (BD), main duct (MD) and mixed type IPMN. Indications for IOP and surgical resection were only reported in two studies. A median of seven outcomes (range 5-8) was described, including the type of surgical resection, additional lesions and change of surgical plan, and complications after IOP. IOP showed additional lesions in 48 patients (34%) and a change of surgical plan in 48(34%). No IOP-related complications were reported.
    Conclusions: This scoping review suggests IOP is safe and identifies additional lesions impacting the surgical strategy for IPMN. However, the included studies were small and heterogeneous regarding IPMN definition and indications for surgery and IOP. There is a need for a large multi-centre prospective study to determine the role of IOP and its impact on surgical strategy for IPMN.

    Abstract Recent guidelines have been produced advising doctors working in emergency departments that they should report all gunshot injuries to the police (albeit with consent in all but very limited circumstances). This article will discuss some of the legal and ethical issues that surround breaking patient confidentiality in relation to gunshot wounds and other potentially dangerous patients; and looks at some cases from the UK and the USA where such issues have been ruled on. Finally, the issue of whether physicians do, or should, have a duty to warn when they feel that their patient may be dangerous will be discussed.

    Abstract Industrially utilized river basins are frequently exposed to contaminants originating from polluting activities. However, the physical instability and probability of mass movement mobilization of contaminated soil into rivers have only received little attention. In this study, we present a GIS-based method to produce a regional overview of where and how contaminated areas are potentially exposed to slope instability. A landslide susceptibility-index was used to study the degree and distribution of overlap between contaminated sites and unstable ground. A contaminated area instability hazard classification was produced integrating slope instability and contamination risk classification. Our results indicate that mass movement can be tied mainly to a slope gradient ≥16°, a proximity to the river that is <500 m, a distance of <500 m from roads, concave surface curvature, and sand- and silt soils. Forty-six (22%) of all considered contaminated sites are located within areas with a non-negligible slope instability, of which a majority, 30 sites (14%) are situated on ground with a low or moderate instability. Three sites with a class 2 contamination risk (the 2nd highest class) are located on ground with a very high slope instability.
