Article Abstract
The Hunga Tonga-Hunga/Hunga-Ha'apai eruption on January 15, 2022 sent off a plume of ash material up to the stratosphere and triggered a meteotsunami and barometric pressure pulse that rippled through the atmosphere and oceans all around the world. The nature of the volcanic event and its global impacts on the oceans, atmosphere, lithosphere and the cryosphere are a matter of debate. Here we present a first overview of the time travel of the sound atmospheric pressure wave through the Antarctic continent based on in situ measurements, which represented a unique event observed through the polar ice sheet during the instrumental meteorological era. In addition, we estimated the tsunami travel time of the Hunga-Tonga event from a first order model to infer its impact over the Antarctic Sea ice and ice shelves. One outcome from our observations and modeling is the detection of the meteotsunami in the Antarctic Peninsula and the impact of the continental relief over the atmospheric pressure wave dispersion.

Cerebral Air Embolism Triggered by Infection of a Pulmonary Cyst in the Context of Air Travel: A Case Report.

Department of Respiratory Medicine, Kamagaya General Hospital, Chiba, JPN.
Cerebral air embolism (CAE) is a rare and potentially fatal event. While most cases result from iatrogenic causes, such as central venous catheterization, pulmonary sources, especially infected cysts, are scarcely reported. We describe a case of a previously healthy 61‑year‑old man who lost consciousness immediately after a flight.

Background And Objective: Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL), which is an otologic emergency characterized by rapid-onset inner-ear hearing loss without an identifiable cause, remains a clinically urgent but poorly understood entity. While environmental factors have been proposed as potential triggers, prior studies show conflicting results. This study aimed to examine associations between weekly ISSNHL incidence and meteorological variables, including temperature, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure, in a Mediterranean city over a six-year period.

Background: Low barometric pressure hypoxia at high altitudes triggers vascular remodeling, resulting in high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). The key step is the transformation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) from a contractile to synthetic phenotype. Protein kinases and phosphatases contribute to phenotype transformation by altering phosphorylated protein expression.

Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) prediction is valuable for network planning and optimization as it helps determine the optimal placements of wireless access points and enables better coverage planning. It is also crucial for efficient handover management between cells or access points, reducing dropped connections and improving service quality. Additionally, RSSI prediction supports indoor positioning systems, power management optimization, and cost-efficient network deployment.

BACKGROUND At great heights, reduced oxygen levels and barometric pressure can cause retinal damage, leading to high-altitude retinopathy. Military pilots additionally experience gravitational forces from rapid changes in speed and direction, which can impair vision due to short-term retinal ischemia. This study evaluated the association between flight duration and altitude with retinal and choroidal changes on optical coherence tomography (OCT) in 44 Polish military pilots.
