Frailty Exacerbates Disability in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To evaluate frailty in severe progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Methods This prospective, cross‐sectional, multicenter study enrolled a late severe PMS group requiring skilled nursing (n = 53) and an age, sex, and disease duration‐matched control PMS group (n = 53).

Sex Hormones Associate With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Risk and Survival

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) risk differs by sex and age, implicating sex hormones as potential modifiers. This study examined plasma levels of biologically active sex hormones and their association with ALS odds and survival in cases (females n = 131, males n = 189) and controls (females n = 138, males n = 150) from the University of ...

Development and External Validation of a Genetic Risk Score for Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Several single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with chronic pain syndromes. Our objective was to determine whether genetic variants are associated with pain and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Participants were included from two independent RA cohorts: FORWARD (National Databank for Rheumatic ...

Heterogeneity of Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease by Longitudinal Forced Vital Capacity Trajectory and Associations With Disease Outcomes

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to identify unique disease trajectories within rheumatoid arthritis–associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) based on longitudinal forced vital capacity (FVC) values and their associated clinical outcomes. Methods We performed a cohort study of RA‐ILD within the Veterans Health Administration from 1999 to 2021.

Unveiling Phonon Contributions to Thermal Conductivity and the Applicability of the Wiedemann—Franz Law in Ruthenium and Tungsten Thin Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thermal transport in Ru and W thin films is studied using steady‐state thermoreflectance, ultrafast pump–probe spectroscopy, infrared‐visible spectroscopy, and computations. Significant Lorenz number deviations reveal strong phonon contributions, reaching 45% in Ru and 62% in W.

Encapsulating Zinc Powder in MXene/Silk Scaffolds with Zincophilic‐Hydrophobic Polymer for Flexible Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work develops flexible zinc‐ion batteries (FZIBs) using a zincophilic/hydrophobic polymer (thermoplastic polycarbonate‐based polyurethane, TPCU) to protect Zn powder anodes and MXene/Silk (MXS) as flexible current collectors. The designed TPCU‐ZnP@MXS structure enables uniform Zn deposition, yielding dendrite‐free anodes with stable cycling ...

Side Reaction Pathway Modulation for Hydrogen Evolution‐Free Aqueous Zn‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A ZnO–TeO2–Te ternary composite layer with a unique rice grain‐like morphology is spontaneously formed on the Zn anode via telluric acid additive. This functional interphase effectively suppresses side reactions such as zinc hydroxide sulfate formation, hydrogen evolution, and Zn corrosion, enabling highly reversible and stable Zn metal cycling in ...

Amorphous High Entropy Alloy Nanosheets Enabling Robust Li–S Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Amorphous ultrathin FeCoNiMoW high entropy alloy nanosheets are incorporated into the polypropylene separator of lithium‐sulfur batteries, enhancing their capacity, rate performance, and cycling stability. Abstract High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) show great potential for catalyzing complex multi‐step reactions, but optimizing their parameters, i.e ...

Photonic Engineering Enables All‐Passive Upconversion Imaging with Low‐Intensity Near‐Infrared Light

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A passive upconversion imaging system enables the observation of scenes illuminated by low‐intensity incoherent near‐infrared light from 750 to 930 nm, by converting it into the visible without the use of external power. The upconverter is enabled by triplet–triplet annihilation in a bulk heterojunction, with absorption enhanced by plasmonic resonators
