Abstract

This study focuses on the validation of high-resolution regional reanalyses to understand their effectiveness in reproducing precipitation patterns over Italy, a climate change hotspot characterized by coastal sea-land interaction and complex orography. Nine reanalysis products were evaluated, with the ECMWF global reanalysis ERA5 serving as a benchmark. These included both European (COSMO-REA6, CERRA) and Italy-specific (BOLAM, MERIDA, MERIDA-HRES, MOLOCH, SPHERA, VHR-REA\_IT) datasets, using different models and parametrizations. The inter-comparison involved determining the effective resolution of daily precipitation fields using wavelet techniques and assessing intense precipitation statistics through frequency distributions. In-situ observations and observational gridded datasets were used to independently validate reanalysis precipitation fields. The capability of reanalyses to depict daily precipitation patterns was assessed, highlighting a maximum radius of precipitation misplacement of about 15 km, with notably lower skills during summer. An overall overestimation of precipitation was identified in the reanalysis climatological fields over the Po Valley and the Alps, whereas multiple products showed an underestimation of precipitations across the North-West coast, the Apennines, and Southern Italy. Finally, a comparison with a time-consistent observational dataset (UniMi/ISAC-CNR) revealed a non-stable deviation from observations in the annual precipitation cumulate of the reanalysis products analyzed. This should be taken into account when interpreting precipitation trends over Italy.

Abstract

AbstractIntroductionCase StudyResultsConclusionNear-fatal asthma (NFA) is a severe condition that can lead to respiratory arrest or high carbon dioxide levels, often requiring mechanical ventilation. Biologics have revolutionized the management of severe asthma, significantly improving symptom severity, reducing the number of exacerbations and hospitalizations, and decreasing the need for oral corticosteroids. However, their effectiveness in acute settings, particularly for ICU patients experiencing severe respiratory failure, is not well-studied. More research is needed to determine if biologics can improve recovery during severe asthma exacerbations.We report a case of NFA in a patient with severe allergic eosinophilic asthma, who experienced global respiratory failure necessitating hospitalization, intubation, and veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Given the severity of the clinical condition, compassionate administration of Benralizumab, which targets the IL-5 receptor, was attempted.Five days from anti-IL5 receptor treatment start, the patient was extubated and the ECMO stopped. After the stepdown to the respiratory intensive care unit (RICU), the patient was weaned from oxygen therapy and subsequently discharged from hospital.Benralizumab demonstrated rapid effectiveness in improving respiratory failure leading to successful weaning from VV-ECMO and subsequent extubation.
