The Pharyngeal Resistance Index—A Promising Diagnostic Tool in OSA

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the newly developed pharyngeal resistance index derived from computational fluid dynamics analysis of the upper airway in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The aim was to evaluate this index as a diagnostic and severity assessment tool by comparing it with the apnea‐hypopnea index before and after maxillomandibular

Immobilized CuCl2/TiO2 photocatalysts for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The photocatalytic aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde was investigated using free and alginate‐immobilized CuCl2 and/or TiO2 (P25) catalysts under UV irradiation. Immobilization enabled catalyst recovery and maintained high benzaldehyde selectivity but led to reduced activity due to internal oxygen diffusion limitations, which were ...

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.

Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...

Enhancing stroke risk stratification in atrial fibrillation through non‐Newtonian blood modelling and Gaussian process emulation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Non‐Newtonian modelling and GPEs for stroke risk in atrial fibrilation patients. Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart arrhythmia, linked to a five‐fold increase in stroke risk. The left atrial appendage (LAA), prone to blood stasis, is a common thrombus formation site in AF patients.

Virtual left atrial appendage occlusion in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation during sinus rhythm predicts variable reductions in blood stasis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Stasis before and after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in participants with high stasis and low stasis. Stasis is predominantly located in LAA and reduced after LAAO. But in the participant with high stasis, stasis remains close to the occlusion site, indicating a potential risk for device related thrombi.
