Climatotherapy (including thalassotherapy, sun exposure, and marine mud therapy) has long been used as a complementary intervention for musculoskeletal and rheumatologic disorders (MSRDs), yet its evidence base remains fragmented and methodologically heterogeneous. To synthesize the effectiveness and safety of climatotherapy in marine or Dead Sea environments for MSRDs, focusing on pain, physical function, and health-related q...

This study explores the sensitivity of high‐resolution mesoscale simulations of urban heat island ( UHI ) in the Chicago metropolitan area ( CMA ) and its environs to urban physical parameterizations, with emphasis on the role of lake breeze. A series of climate downscaling experiments were conducted using the urban‐Weather Research and Forecasting ( uWRF ) model at 1‐km horizontal resolution for a relatively warm period with...
