Tropical cyclones use warm, moist air as their fuel. As climate change is warming ocean temperatures, there is potentially more of this fuel available. Between 1979 and 2017, there was a global increase in the proportion of tropical cyclones of Category 3 and higher on the Saffir–Simpson scale. The trend was most clear in the North Atlantic and in the Southern Indian Ocean. In the North Pacific, tropical cyclones have been moving poleward into colder waters and there was no increase in intensity over this period. With 2 °C (3.6 °F) warming, a greater percentage (+13%) of tropical cyclones are expected to reach Category 4 and 5 strength. A 2019 study indicates that climate change has been driving the observed trend of rapid intensification of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin. Rapidly intensifying cyclones are hard to forecast and therefore pose additional risk to coastal communities.Warmer air can hold more water vapor: the theoretical maximum water vapor content is given by the Clausius–Clapeyron relation, which yields ≈7% increase in water vapor in the atmosphere per 1 °C (1.8 °F) warming. All models that were assessed in a 2019 review paper show a future increase of rainfall rates. Additional sea level rise will increase storm surge levels. It is plausible that extreme wind waves see an increase as a consequence of changes in tropical cyclones, further exacerbating storm surge dangers to coastal communities.
Wolfram-like syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder which shares some of the features shown by those affected with the autosomal recessive Wolfram syndrome. It is a type of WFS1-related disorder. Signs and symptoms
Individuals with this condition usually exhibit early-onset progressive hearing loss which starts around the age of 10 years old, early-onset optic atrophy which usually manifests in a persons mid teenage–late adulthood years of life, and adult-onset diabetes mellitus.Although rarely, psychiatric symptoms can also manifest in people with the condition, this group of symptoms consists of hallucinations, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders.Psychosis and autism are sometimes seen as features of the disorder.Other symptoms include nephrocalcinosis, psychomotor delay, glaucoma, and megalocornea. Complications
The psychiatric features that may appear in patients with this condition, particularly depression, can cause a patient to be live in a constantly miserable state of mind, which can lead some patients to develop suicidal tendencies and, which can ultimately lead to making the decision of commiting suicide.
