Abstract The chronology of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, ~56 Ma) remains disputed, hampering complete understanding possible trigger mechanisms this event. Here we present an astrochronology for PETM carbon isotope excursion from Howards Tract, Maryland a paleoshelf environment, on mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain. Statistical evaluation variations in calcium content and magnetic susceptibility indicates astronomical forcing was involved onset lasted about 6 kyr. Earth system...
Climate model simulations of the PETM (Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum) warming have mainly focused on replicating global thermal response through greenhouse forcing, i.e. CO2, at levels compatible with observations. Comparatively less effort has gone into assessing skill models to replicate hydrologic cycle warming, particularly regional scales. Here we assembled proxy records precipitation, focusing Mid-Atlantic Coasts North America (New Jersey) and Europe (Spain) test system gas forcing...
ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus strains lacking agr - and sarA -dependent gene products or specific MSCRAMM (microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules) adhesins were compared for the ability to activate inflammatory responses in lung. The mutants evaluated virulence a mouse model of pneumonia by quantifying their stimulate interleukin-8 (IL-8) granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) expression respiratory epithelial cells. In neonatal mouse, only...
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are filamentary structures within the atmosphere that account for a substantial portion of poleward moisture transport and play an important role in Earth's hydroclimate. However, there is no one quantitative definition what constitutes atmospheric river, leading to uncertainty quantifying how these systems respond global change. This study seeks better understand different AR detection tools (ARDTs) changes climate states utilizing single‐forcing model...
The incidence of osteonecrosis the jaw (ONJ) in population is low, but specifics are unknown. Potential risk factors include bisphosphonate treatment, steroid osteoporosis, and head/neck radiation. This Dental Practice-Based Research Network study estimated ONJ odds ratios from exposure other using a key word search manual chart reviews electronic records for adults aged ≥ 35 yrs enrolled during 1995–2006 two large health-care organizations. We found 16 cases among 572,606 cohort members;...
Abstract A transect of paleoshelf cores from Maryland and New Jersey contains an ~0.19‐ to 1.61‐m‐thick interval with reduced percentages carbonate during the onset Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). Outer are barren nannofossils correspond two minor disconformities. Middle contain a mixture samples devoid those rare specimens characterized by significant dissolution (i.e., etching). The magnitude decrease in cannot be explained dilution clastic material or resulting oxidation organic...
Abstract. Eocene transient global warming events (hyperthermals) can provide insight into a future warmer world. While much research has focused on the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), hyperthermals of smaller magnitude be used to characterize climatic responses over different magnitudes forcing. This study identifies two events, namely 2 (ETM2 and H2), in shallow marine sediments Eocene-aged Salisbury Embayment Maryland, based magnetostratigraphy, calcareous nannofossil, dinocyst...
Background: Simulation is widely used to teach medical procedures. Our goal was develop and implement an innovative virtual model resident physicians the cognitive skills of type 1 2 diabetes management. Methods: A educational activity developed consisting (a) a curriculum using 18 explicit cases, (b) web-based interactive interface, (c) simulation calculate physiologic outcomes actions, (d) library programmed feedback critique guide actions between encounters. Primary care residents in 10...
Background Preventable medical errors in hospital settings are the third leading cause of deaths United States. However, less is known about harm that occurs patients outpatient settings, where majority care delivered. We do not know likelihood a patient sitting dentist chair will experience harm. Additionally, we if certain race, age, sex, or socioeconomic status disproportionately iatrogenic Methods initiated Dental Practice Study (DPS) with aim determining frequency and types adverse...
Abstract Proxy reconstructions and model simulations of precipitation during Earth's glacial periods suggest that the locations mechanisms atmospheric moisture transport have changed considerably past. We investigate hydroclimate Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) using with Community Earth System Model, a focus on extratropics influence rivers (ARs), key driver modern‐day globally. Mean extreme increase significantly over southwestern Patagonia, Iberia, North America—mid‐latitude regions affected...
Surveillance for measles must be enhanced to support the objective of elimination in United States. Many conditions produce febrile rash illnesses that are clinically similar measles; investigations measleslike (MLIs) should occur regardless incidence measles. Few data exist regarding MLI States, and it is unknown how providers evaluate patients with such conditions. We searched databases at a large managed care organization obtain complete ascertainment during 1994-1998. Among 6000000...
Abstract. The effects of anthropogenic warming on the hydroclimate California are becoming more pronounced with increased frequency multi-year droughts and flooding. As a past analog for future, Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is unique natural experiment assessing global regional sensitivity to greenhouse gas warming. Globally, extensive evidence (i.e., observations climate models high pCO2) demonstrates hydrological intensification significant variability from region drier or...
