Dyssynchrony without dysfunction: Left bundle branch block does not acutely reduce cardiac output
Abstract figure legend Six electromechanical in silico heart models were simulated under healthy and pure acute left bundle branch block (LBBB) conditions. LBBB induced electrical dyssynchrony and increased left ventricular free wall strain, while the right and left ventricular ejection fraction remained relatively unchanged.

Teaching Through Making: |xam and !xun Material Culture of the Bleek and Lloyd Collection
ABSTRACT At Wits Art Museum (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa) is a small collection donated to the former Wits Museum of Ethnology by Percival Kirby in 1952. A note in the accession register ties the items into the context of the renowned ‘Bushman researches’ of Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd in Cape Town in the 1870s and ...

Biomechanical, Structural, and Composition Characterization of the Vertebra‐Disc Interface
ABSTRACT Background The spinal endplate region consists of the cartilage endplate (CEP), bony endplate (BEP), and subchondral trabecular bone (STB). Although this region is often involved in vertebral fractures and disrupted with disc degeneration, the biomechanics of these tissues are incompletely understood. The goal of this study was to characterize

ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants widely recognized for their resistance to degradation and potential adverse health effects. The treatment of PFAS‐contaminated aqueous media (e.g., drinking water, wastewater, and leachate) has been extensively studied in the published literature; however, the

Abstract The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is an iguanine lizard with herbivorous and arboreal habits, whose distribution spans through South America, Central America to the south of North America. Although the genus Iguana is well‐known, the species still lacks a comprehensive and up‐to‐date anatomical study, particularly addressing the axial skeleton,
