An Investigation into the dynamics of the ocean current system off southern Greenland
Full text linkThe ocean current system off Southern Greenland is a key component of the Earth’sclimate system due to its role in the regulation of the global thermohalinecirculation. A combination of historic and new observational data, supported bymodelling simulations, has revealed great complexity in both the surface and deepcurrents of the area. A comprehensive review of the available hydrographic data forthe South-East Greenland shelf has shown that the observed spatial variability in thetransport of the on-shelf East Greenland Coastal Current is inconsistent with thetheory that it is primarily driven by local fjord runoff. A high resolution regionalmodelling study supports these observations and suggests that the East GreenlandCoastal Current is primarily the result of a bifurcation of the East Greenland Currentin the vicinity of Denmark Strait. Model simulations also suggest that the pathwaysfollowed by the low salinity output of the region’s fjord complexes are influencedby the strength and position of the main East Greenland Current. New data collectedin the vicinity of Cape Farewell, on the southern tip of Greenland, has also revealedmore complex behaviour in the Deep Western Boundary Current. The significantspatial variability in Deep Western Boundary Current transport observed in theregion of Cape Farewell suggests that the confluence of Denmark Strait OverflowWater and Iceland Scotland Overflow Water occurs over a wider geographic areathan is commonly suggested. A review of historic data indicates that these spatialpatterns vary over timescales of months and upwards. It is hypothesised that strandsof overflow water follow different depth controlled pathways dependent on theirrelative water density in comparison with the surrounding water masses. This hassignificance for the way deep current strength proxies in the region are interpreted inrelation to climatic variations. Time series data for a single location may welloverestimate the variability in the Deep Western Boundary Current further south dueto path switching of the flow. In the future more complete observational datasetscombined with more advanced oceanographic and coupled climate models willprovide a better understanding of the interaction between the regional currentsystem, the global current system and the climate system. This will enable morereliable prediction of the impact of global warming and, in particular, the potentialinfluence of accelerated Greenland ice cap melting on the global ocean circulation
Analysis of the effect of memantine in reducing the worsening of clinical symptoms in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease
No full textBackground: Alzheimer's disease ( AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and delaying disease worsening is a relevant treatment outcome. Methods: Data from 6 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 6-month studies were pooled and a subgroup of patients ( 867 on placebo, 959 on memantine) with moderate to severe AD ( MiniMental State Examination < 20) was analyzed. 'Any clinical worsening' was defined as a decline on the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-cog) or the Severe Impairment Battery ( SIB) and on the Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change Plus Caregiver In put (CIBIC-plus) and the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living Inventory (ADCS-ADL), and 'marked clinical worsening' as 6 4 points decline on the ADAS-cog or 6 5 points on the SIB and decline on the CIBIC-plus and the ADCS-ADL. Results: More placebo-treated than memantine-treated patients showed any clinical worsening ( 28 vs. 18%; p < 0.001), and 21% placebo-treated patients compared to 11% memantine-treated patients had marked clinical worsening ( p < 0.001). Conclusion: In this population of moderate and severe AD patients, treatment with memantine was associated with reducing worsening of clinical symptoms in AD during the 6-month study period.
