The Gut–Heart Axis in Systemic Sclerosis: Evidence From a Large Prospective Early Disease Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Cardiac involvement significantly impacts prognosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc), highlighting the need for early risk stratification. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common and often manifest early. Emerging data suggest a link between GI and cardiac manifestations, possibly through shared mechanisms like dysautonomia.

The Impact of Snow Grooming on Morphology and Erosion of Alpine Hillslopes: A Case Study from Kasprowy Wierch Ski Station in the Tatra Mountains

Land
The rapid expansion of ski tourism and climate change-induced snow shortages have led to intensified ski run maintenance, including extensive earthworks, artificial snowmaking, and regular snow grooming.

Frailty Predicts Incident Osteoporotic Fractures in Veterans with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of frailty and osteoporosis, but the relationship between frailty and incident osteoporotic fractures in RA is underexplored. Methods Data were from the Veterans Affairs (VA) Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry. Frailty was measured using the VA Frailty Index (VAFI).

Associations of Frailty With the Risk of Incident Cancer and Cancer‐Related Mortality in Veterans With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study investigated the association between frailty and cancer incidence and mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It aimed to identify how frailty influences cancer risk and cancer‐specific outcomes. Methods This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the Veterans’ Affairs Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry (2002–2023).

Morphodynamic change analysis of bedforms in the Lower Orinoco River, Venezuela [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2018
The Orinoco River has the third largest discharge in the world, with an annual mean flow of 37 600 m3 s−1 at its outlet to the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the presence of the Guiana Shield on the right bank, the lower reach of the Orinoco has a plan form ...

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...

Quantitative Analysis of Anthropogenic Morphologies Based on Multi-Temporal High-Resolution Topography

Remote Sensing, 2019
Human activities have reshaped the geomorphology of landscapes and created vast anthropogenic geomorphic features, which have distinct characteristics compared with landforms produced by natural processes. High-resolution topography from LiDAR has opened
