On the time lag between sea-level rise and basin infilling at tidal inlets by Roshanka Ranasinghe, Zheng Bing Wang, Janaka Bamunawala, Trang Minh Duong

“…When the two higher-than-optimal M values (0.25 and 0.5) are used for the large tidal inlet system, shoreline retreat is over-estimated by ~ 65–240% (across climate scenarios) for both future periods. In terms of absolute values, these under/over-estimations increase in time and with the severity of emission scenario.…”

Association of liver biopsy pathology on outcome of patients undergoing heart transplantation by Lauren S. Eichenwald, MD, Raffi Karagozian, MD, Adam J. Eichenwald, PhD, John Morrissey, MD MBA, Saurav Kini, MD, Ariella Stein, MSCIS-HI, Amanda R. Vest, MBBS MPH

“…Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the survival rates between HT candidates with and without advanced fibrosis on the waitlist and post-HT, challenging the notion that advanced fibrosis should be an absolute contraindication for HT. However, our findings are limited by the small sample size, retrospective design, and focus on patients already deemed suitable for transplantation. …”
