Habitat in flames: How climate change will affect fire risk across koala forests by Farzin Shabani (302023)

“…</p><p><br></p><h3>Method:</h3><p dir="ltr">The Decision Tree machine learning algorithm was applied to generate a fire susceptibility index (a measure of the potential for a given area or region to experience wildfires) using a dataset of conditioning factors, namely: altitude, aspect, rainfall, distance from rivers, distance from roads, forest type, geology, koala presence and future dietary sources, land use-land cover (LULC), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), slope, soil, temperature, and wind speed.</p><p><br></p><h3>Results:</h3><p dir="ltr">We found a general increase in susceptibility of Australian vegetation to bushfires overall. …”

Prehospital plasma transfusion versus standard of care following traumatic injury: a review of the systematic reviews and a meta-analysis by Ayman El-Menyar (440103)

“…</p><h3 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">The overall pooled analysis revealed no significant benefit to PHP transfusion in trauma patients; however, sensitivity analyses showed a significant association of PHP and lower 24-hour mortality. PHP did not significantly decrease vasopressor use or late mortality; however, it may reduce the total use of RBCs in the first 24 h. …”

Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19·1 million participants by Bin, Zhou

“…Global age-standardised prevalence of raised blood pressure was 24·1% (21·4–27·1) in men and 20·1% (17·8–22·5) in women in 2015. Mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure decreased substantially from 1975 to 2015 in high-income western and Asia Pacific countries, moving these countries from having some of the highest worldwide blood pressure in 1975 to the lowest in 2015. …”
