Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

On the Finite Element Implementation of Functionally Graded Materials [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials, 2019
We investigate the numerical implementation of functionally graded properties in the context of the finite element method. The macroscopic variation of elastic properties inherent to functionally graded materials (FGMs) is introduced at the element level by means of the two most commonly used schemes: (i) nodal based gradation, often via an auxiliary ...

Vibration analysis of post-buckled fluid-conveying functionally graded pipe

open access: yesComposites Part C: Open Access, 2021
The vibration of post-buckled fluid-conveying pipe made of functionally graded material is analyzed. The pipe material properties are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to power-law distribution.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Torsion of Functionally Graded Material Structures: An Overview

open access: yesEngineering Transactions
Examining torsion in functionally graded materials (FGMs) is crucial because their properties vary spatially. FGMs with continuously graded architectures provide a robust basis for investigating mechanical behavior.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

A micropolar model for elastic properties in functionally graded materials

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2018
By considering the description of phase volume fractions, a micromechanics model is presented for predicting the elastic mechanical properties of isotropic two-phase functionally graded materials. The particle size dependence of the overall elasticity of

Geometrically Nonlinear Analysis of Functionally Graded Shells Based on 2-D Cosserat Constitutive Model

open access: yesEngineering Transactions, 2014
In this paper geometrically nonlinear analysis of functionally graded shells in 6-parameter shell theory is presented. It is assumed that the shell consists of two constituents: ceramic and metal.
