Massive global ozone loss predicted following regional nuclear conflict.
We use a chemistry-climate model and new estimates of smoke produced by fires in contemporary cities to calculate the impact on stratospheric ozone of a regional nuclear war between developing nuclear states involving 100 Hiroshima-size bombs exploded in cities in the northern subtropics. We find column ozone losses in excess of 20% globally, 25-45% at midlatitudes, and 50-70% at northern high ...
متن کاملMultidecadal global cooling and unprecedented ozone loss following a regional nuclear conflict
We present the first study of the global impacts of a regional nuclear war with an Earth system model including atmospheric chemistry, ocean dynamics, and interactive sea ice and land components. A limited, regional nuclear war between India and Pakistan in which each side detonates 50 15 kt weapons could produce about 5 Tg of black carbon (BC). This would self-loft to the stratosphere, where i...

متن کاملBody contouring following massive weight loss
The growing prevalence of obesity in America has led to an increase in bariatric surgery, which produces successful long-term weight loss and improves the multiple co-morbidities caused by obesity. A weight loss of 100+ pounds leaves patients with significant amounts of loose-hanging excess skin and tissue that can be addressed only with surgery. This article briefly describes many body contour...
متن کاملObesity-induced Lymphedema Nonreversible following Massive Weight Loss
Lymphedema is the progressive enlargement of tissue due to inadequate lymphatic function. Obesity-induced lymphedema of the lower extremities can occur once a patient's body mass index (BMI) exceeds 50. We report our first patient with obesity-induced lower extremity lymphedema who was followed prospectively before and after weight loss. A 46-year-old woman with a BMI of 80 presented to our Lym...
