Smoking Is Associated With Low Levels of Soluble PD-L1 in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
BackgroundSmoking is a risk factor for developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the mechanism remains uncertain. We previously demonstrated that smoking lowers the T cell activation threshold by limiting programmed death protein 1 (PD-1) expression ...

Smoking and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Catheter Ablation: A Meta‐Analysis and Meta‐Regression

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
This meta‐analysis demonstrated that smoking was associated with a higher risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation (OR 1.42, 95% CI: 1.09–1.85). Among ablation‐modality subgroups, the association was significant for radio Meta‐regression identified BMI as a significant moderator, suggesting that higher BMI attenuated the ...

High‐Resolution 3‐D Lithospheric Structure of the Subducting Carnegie Ridge and the Ecuadorian Margin Imaged From Teleseismic Receiver Functions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Ecuadorian margin is a forearc‐arc system shaped by oceanic terrane accretion and Carnegie Ridge subduction, yet the accretion mechanism and ridge subduction extent remain poorly constrained. Using teleseismic P‐wave receiver functions from dense seismic arrays, we image velocity discontinuities within the overriding plate and subducting ...

Bidirectional Process Prediction in the Laser‐Induced‐Graphene Production Using Blackbox Deep Learning

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 14, 22 July 2026.
This study shows that a lightweight blackbox neural network provides a practical, cost‐effective solution for bidirectional process prediction in laser‐induced graphene (LIG) fabrication. Achieving high predictive performance with minimal overhead, the approach democratizes machine learning (ML) for resource‐limited environments.
