Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…The building envelope thermal characteristics studied represent houses built in different periods from 1950 to high energy-efficient buildings in Montreal under different weather generations: typical historical (1961–1990), recent observational (2016), and typical future years 2030 (2026–2045) and 2090 (2080–2099) generated based on RCP-4.5 and 8.5 scenarios. The results showed that the high energy-efficient buildings can be more resilient to climate change than old buildings if adequate ventilation is provided, where the decrease of window and wall U-value, and SHGC all contribute to the decrease in indoor temperature. …”

Surgical Strategies for Synchronous Colorectal Liver Metastases in 156 Consecutive Patients by Bouquet, Antoine

“…The main limitation of this strategy is that it can be offered only in selected patients with synchronous disease,5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 and it is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications when major liver resection is combined with resection of the primary tumor.11, 12 and 13 Recently, a “reverse strategy,” in which preoperative chemotherapy is followed by resection of the CLM and then by resection of the colorectal primary at a second operation, has been proposed for patients with advanced synchronous CLM, and in particular, for patients in whom the primary is located in the rectum.14 The rationale for the reverse strategy is 2-fold: primary-related complications (such as bleeding, obstruction, or perforation) are rare in patients with stage IV colorectal cancer receiving combination chemotherapy15 and 16 and treatment of the metastatic disease is not delayed by local therapy for the primary tumor (surgery, and in the case of rectal cancer, radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy) or by complications of surgical treatment of the primary tumor. …”
