Remote Assessment of Ataxia Severity in SCA3 Across Multiple Centers and Time Points
ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a genetically defined ataxia. The Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) is a clinician‐reported outcome that measures ataxia severity at a single time point. In its standard application, SARA fails to capture short‐term fluctuations, limiting its sensitivity in trials.

The Application of Continuum Damage Mechanics to Fatigue Failure Mechanisms
Continuum Damage Mechanics is applied to the modeling of fatigue failure mechanisms. The resulting equations are solved by discretizing the time domain and the space domain. A tremendous reduction of computing times is achieved by uncoupling the constitutive equations and by employing an adaptive stepsize selection procedure.

A Non-Linear Model for Corrosion Fatigue Lifetime Based on Continuum Damage Mechanics
Many structures, such as oil platforms and wind turbines, are built in the marine environment. These structures do not merely suffer from variable cyclic loading due to wind, waves and current, but also from corrosion.

Interaction of damage processes in continuum damage mechanics
Abstract This work presents novel mathematical formulations for the interaction of damage processes within the framework of continuum damage mechanics, focusing on advanced numerical applications. The approach involves an innovative analogy between the decomposition of the damage variable/tensor and the rule of mixtures, leading to both ...

Impact of Asymptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage on Outcome After Endovascular Stroke Treatment
ABSTRACT Background Endovascular treatment (EVT) achieves high rates of recanalization in acute large‐vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke, but functional recovery remains heterogeneous. While symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) has been well studied, the prognostic impact of asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (aICH) after EVT is less certain ...

Functional and Structural Evidence of Neurofluid Circuit Aberrations in Huntington Disease
ABSTRACT Objective Disrupted neurofluid regulation may contribute to neurodegeneration in Huntington disease (HD). Because neurofluid pathways influence waste clearance, inflammation, and the distribution of central nervous system (CNS)–delivered therapeutics, understanding their dysfunction is increasingly important as targeted treatments emerge.

Application of continuum damage mechanics for prediction of wear in tillage tools
Wear of tillage tools by hard soil particles is a serious concern in the industry since wear is the primary factor that defines an engaging tool's lifespan, stability, and reliability. Many studies have primarily focused on experimental methods to better

A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema
ABSTRACT Objectives SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss‐of‐function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes.
