Remote sensing and analysis of tropical cyclones:Current and emerging satellite sensors

This article describes recent advances in the capability of new satellite sensors for observing Tropical Cyclones(TC)fine structure,wind field,and temporal evolution.The article is based on a World Meteorological Organization(WMO)report prepared for the 10th International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones(IWTC),held in Bali in December 2022,and its objective is to present updates in TC research and operation every four years.Here we focus on updates regarding the most recent space-based TC observations,and we cover new methodologies and techniques using polar orbiting sensors,such as C-band synthetic aperture radars(SARs),L-band and combined C/X-band radiometers,scatterometers,and microwave imagers/sounders.We additionally address progress made with the new generation of geostationary and small satellites,and discuss future sensors planned to be launched in the next years.We then briefly describe some examples on how the newest sensors are used in operations and data assimilation for TC forecasting and research,and conclude the article with a discussion on the remaining challenges of TC space-based observations and possible ways to address them in the near future.

脾血管浸润是胰体尾癌切除术后的不良预后因素

背景:由于较高的远处转移率,胰体尾癌是致死率最高的肿瘤之一。本研究旨在评估脾血管浸润对于胰体尾癌切除术患者的预后价值。方法:在这项回顾性研究中,我们收集了454例胰体尾癌患者的临床病理资料,通过单因素和多因素分析明确本组患者无进展生存(PFS)和总体生存(OS)的预后影响因素,重点关注脾动/静脉浸润的预后价值。结果:单因素分析结果显示,肿瘤较大、非导管内乳头状黏液瘤(non-IPMN)相关的腺癌、低分化、pT3期、淋巴结转移、脉管浸润、神经浸润、病理学脾静脉浸润、影像学脾静脉浸润者PFS和OS均显著缩短(均P<0.05)。多因素分析证实,non-IPMN相关腺瘤、pT3期、pN1-2期及术后辅助化疗是PFS和OS的独立危险因素;此外,肿瘤较大和影像学脾静脉浸润同时也是PFS的独立预后因素。结论:应当就如何检测和报告胰体尾癌手术标本的脾血管状态,形成一个统一的规范。
