Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Drug-coated Balloon Angioplasty: The Initial 4-year Experience in Qatar

Heart Views
Background: A drug-coated balloon (DCB) allows treating the coronary artery lesions without permanent implantation of a metallic stent. International guidelines recommend DCB for the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR).

Moderate Fire Temperatures Affect the Structure of Clayey Oxisol Aggregates

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfires have become increasingly frequent and intense worldwide, raising concerns about their impacts on soil systems. However, the thermal responses of clay‐rich Oxisols, dominated by Fe and Al oxides, remain poorly understood. In this study, samples from the 0 to 5 cm layer of six Oxisols were subjected to controlled heating at ...

Recent Developments in Sustainable Composites for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): A Review

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review presents the potential of using natural plant fibers and biodegradable polymers as sustainable printed circuit boards (PCBs). This review provides future directions in innovation and sustainable PCBs development. Bio‐composites PCBs are both environmentally friendly and sustainable due to the natural fibres they contain.

Dynamic Contrast Enhanced—Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (DCE‐MRF) Improves Detection of Induced Vascular Perfusion Reduction in a Mouse Breast Cancer Model

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI (DCE‐MRI) can assess tumor perfusion using pharmacokinetic models. However, poor DCE‐MRI reproducibility from reliance on conventional T1‐weighted MRI has limited clinical translation. We evaluated whether Dynamic Contrast Enhanced‐Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (DCE‐MRF), which directly generates ...

Impact of flex power on inter- and intra- differential code bias variation

Geodesy and Geodynamics
Differential Code Bias (DCB) is the time delays between two different GNSS signals, which is crucial for GNSS positioning. Previous studies have shown that it can be significantly affected by the flex power operations in satellites. This study proposes a

Impact of a low‐carbohydrate diet on cardiometabolic parameters in individuals with and without diabetes: An 8‐year longitudinal study within the ELSA‐Brasil cohort

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Low‐carbohydrate diets (LCDs) are widely adopted for metabolic management, but their long‐term cardiometabolic effects in diverse populations remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the association between self‐selected moderate LCD adherence and cardiometabolic parameters in individuals with and without diabetes.

Failure Mechanisms of Short Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials Subjected to Dynamic Loading

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Failure Mechanisms of Short Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials Subjected to Dynamic Loading. ABSTRACT The mechanical behavior of short carbon fiber reinforced polylactic acid (SCF/PLA) composites fabricated by fused deposition modeling (FDM) is crucial for engineering applications, yet their strain‐rate dependence is not fully understood.
