Summary: The western Mediterranean region often faces devastating flooding caused by heavy rainfall, with the highest number of events per year recorded in the Languedoc-Roussillon region (France) and the Valencian Community (Spain). The most hazardous events, which are associated with a larger number of floods, tend to occur in September, October, and November, with a specific weather pattern characterized by a low-pressure area at all tropospheric levels in the eastern Atlantic creating a block pattern extending from the Central Mediterranean to Central Europe.

Summary: At the local scale, seismic risk is often underestimated when considering equal hazard values across any given community. This study shows that intensity data collected via the internet and social media could provide a viable method for validating microzonation maps and shaking scenarios.

Summary: This study investigates the processes that led to a long-duration ice pellet event in Montreal, Canada in January 2020. Findings suggest that ice pellets and ice crystals formation may be promoted by secondary ice production and the horizontal advection of ice crystals below the melting layer.

Summary: This study compared cartilage thickness changes after two years of treatment with KJD and HTO, finding that osteoarthritis severity is the strongest predictor of cartilage restoration. In patients with high disease severity, KJD may be more efficient in restoring cartilage thickness.

Summary: This post hoc analysis assessed the effectiveness and safety of roflumilast cream in patients with psoriasis on the face/neck or intertriginous areas. Out of the 331 patients enrolled in the trial, 160 had psoriasis in these areas. The results showed that once-daily application of roflumilast cream was well tolerated and demonstrated efficacy in multiple endpoints.

Summary: Two high-resolution seismic reflection profiles north and south of Chibougamau in Canada's Abitibi subprovince provide insights into historic VMS deposits and Cu-Au mineralization, revealing key geological structures and potential exploration targets. The seismic imaging shows thickening of upper-crustal rocks near fault zones, indicating possible channels for mineralizing fluids.

Summary: This study analyzed the efficacy and improvement in quality of life in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis treated with Risankizumab. The results showed that a higher proportion of patients in the Risankizumab group achieved absolute PASI thresholds compared to the ustekinumab group, and achieved them in a shorter time. Among patients treated with long-term Risankizumab, over 90% achieved PASI <= 3, and over 80% achieved DLQI 0/1. Patients with low absolute PASI scores also had low mean absolute DLQI scores throughout the 172 weeks of continuous Risankizumab treatment.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of geographical disparities on epilepsy awareness and prejudice in Japan. The findings indicate that there are no significant regional differences in knowledge and stigma about epilepsy, possibly due to the educational reforms and advanced education in Japan. Further research is needed to examine the influence of respondents' birth and upbringing environment.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of annual infusions of zoledronic acid with or without methylprednisolone on bone area and bone shape in knee osteoarthritis patients. The results showed that zoledronic acid combined with methylprednisolone can slow down the expansion of bone area, but zoledronic acid alone may not have the same effect. However, neither zoledronic acid with or without methylprednisolone slowed the progression of bone shape.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility of using two DJI Phantom 3 Standard drones during disasters, exploring network coverage and optimum flying patterns to ensure battery usage is sustainable in post-disaster missions. OMNeT++ simulator version 5.2.1 with Inet 3.6.2 is used to determine the most effective flying patterns, with the square pattern proving to be the most optimal in terms of coverage. However, the square pattern also shows the highest packet loss percentage at 30m, indicating that other patterns may be more suitable based on specific needs.
