Exploring biofiber properties and their influence on biocomposite tensile properties

Polymer International, EarlyView.
The study measured the physical, flow and chemical properties of 10 biofibers. It characterized the tensile properties of derived biocomposites and linked them using regression models, showing robust predictive performance. Abstract Biofibers serve as effective reinforcements for neat polylactic acid (PLA) in biocomposites, offering an attractive ...

Microplastics and the Endocrine–Metabolic Interface: Novel Diagnostic Tools Targeting Thyroid–Adipose Axis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as major environmental contaminants that can affect organisms directly and act as carriers of particles and chemical additives, thereby aggravating endocrine networks that coordinate metabolic homeostasis.

Evaluation of thyroglobulin autoantibodies in dogs at the time of diagnosis of hypoadrenocorticism and during treatment

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) may occur more frequently in dogs with hypoadrenocorticism (HA) than previously recognised. The objective of this study was to determine the presence of thyroglobulin autoantibodies (TgAAs) in dogs with HA.

Papillary Thyroid Cancer With Cutaneous Metastasis: A Case Report and Literature Review

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cutaneous metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma is rare, which may present as slowly growing nodules, erythematous papules, or ulcerative nodules. The pathophysiological mechanisms of skin metastasis in thyroid cancer remain unclear.

How to stay wild in a highly domesticated landscape? Spatiotemporal behaviour of wolves in Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wild animals can adapt to the increasing presence of humans by either becoming accustomed to it or by avoiding humans by spatiotemporal separation. The return of the wolf to the German lowlands raised the opportunity to study wolf behaviour in one of the most densely populated and fragmented countries in Europe, in an area where topography offers no ...

Living Together, Loving Apart: Health, Sexuality and Relationships in Middle‐Aged and Older Men in Europe

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Over time, family structures have grown more complex, diversifying adult relationships. While research has compared marital, cohabiting and living apart together relationships based on quality and health, less is known about their sexual dynamics.

Higher FT4 level within the normal range predicts the outcome of cryoballoon ablation in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients without structural heart disease

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2021
Background Accumulated evidence has indicated that a high‐normal FT4 level is an independent risk factor for the clinical progression of AF. However, the association between elevated FT4 concentration within the normal range and AF recurrence after ...

Stress and strain rate analysis of the FT4 Powder Rheometer [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The Freeman FT4 Powder Rheometer has been reported to describe well the powder flow behaviour in instances where other techniques fail. We use DEM to simulate the FT4 operation for slightly cohesive large glass beads at a range of strain rates. The curved impeller is shown to be beneficial in comparison to a flat blade as the variation of shear stress ...

Malignancy in Pediatric Hyperfunctioning Thyroid Nodules: A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Thyroid nodules are rare in children but carry a markedly higher risk of malignancy compared to adults (20%–26% vs. 5%). Hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules are exceptionally uncommon in the pediatric population and are typically benign.

Diagnostic Options in Graves' or Non‐Graves' Thyrotoxicosis: A Review for Clinical Practice

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Distinguishing Graves' disease (GD) from the other causes of thyrotoxicosis is essential for appropriate management. The clinical phenotype of GD has evolved over time and is currently more heterogenous and milder than in the past. Consequently, the differential diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis is often challenging.
