Monitoring Auxetic Structure with FBG Sensor

e-Journal of Nondestructive Testing
Auxetic materials are a particular class of materials which present a negative Poisson ratio (NPR). This means that once they are stretched, they expand in the directions orthogonal to the applied load. The dual behaviour occurs during compression tests.

The Association Between Stress‐Induced Hyperglycemia Ratio and Increased Urinary Albumin Excretion in Patients With Hypertension: A Population‐Based Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), a novel marker reflecting relative hyperglycemia, has been increasingly recognized for its prognostic value in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, its association with early renal damage in hypertensive patients remains underexplored.

Estimated Body Fat Percentage and Triglyceride‐Glucose Index for Identifying MASLD in Lean Asian Adults: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is increasingly prevalent among lean Asian populations, yet effective strategies for identifying high‐risk individuals remain limited. We investigated the associations of body fat percentage (BF%) and the triglyceride‐glucose (TyG) index with lean MASLD and evaluated their ...

Ultrasonic Sensitivity of Strain-Insensitive Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors and Evaluation of Ultrasound-Induced Strain

Sensors, 2010
In conventional ultrasound detection in structures, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is glued on or embedded in the structure. However, application of strain to the structure can influence the sensitivity of the FBG toward ultrasound and can prevent its ...

Low cross-sensitivity and sensitivity enhanced FBG sensor based on OCMI with three cascaded FBGs

Optics Express
This paper presents a highly sensitive, temperature-insensitive optical carrier microwave interferometry (OCMI) system using a cascaded three fiber Bragg grating (FBG) structure to generate an enhanced Vernier effect for sensing applications. The enhanced Vernier effect is created by superimposing the interferograms of two separate interferometers ...

Independent Risk Factors for Postoperative Intestinal Obstruction and Clinical Outcomes in Simultaneous Pancreas‐Kidney Transplantation Recipients

Organ Medicine, EarlyView.
Intestinal obstruction (IO) is an important but underexplored complication following simultaneous pancreas‐kidney transplantation (SPKT) and is associated with considerable morbidity and both clinical and economic burdens. In this single‐center cohort study, perioperative parameters, including demographic characteristics, surgical variables, and ...
