Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Experimental Evaluation of 100Cr6 Steel Microindented Surfaces Under Lubricated Nonconformal Point Contacts

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The tribological behavior of 100Cr6 steel spheres textured via Vickers microindentation is evaluated under lubricated sliding by varying both dimple size and density. Fine and dense textures significantly reduce friction across all lubrication regimes, while large dimples increase it.

Low‐Cost, Large‐Scale Nanoporous Metals by Mechanical Alloying, Oxide Reduction, and Dealloying of Powders

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Powder metal processing provides scalable advantages in nanoporous (np) metal development. Mechanical alloying is used to produce unique precursors for hybrid nanopore formation by oxide reduction and dealloying. As demonstrated in np Ag, this approach improves process efficiency while promoting smaller ligaments and larger pores, both of which are ...

Cryoablation and High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound

, 2007
The fight against prostate cancer goes beyond radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy. Temperature can also kill cells and proves to be highly successful in this war on prostate cancer. There is no known insensitivity to extremely low or extremely high temperatures.

High-intensity focused ultrasound therapy for pancreatic cancer

Journal of Medical Ultrasonics, 2022
AbstractPancreatic cancer (PC) has one of the poorest prognoses among solid cancers, and its incidence has increased recently. Satisfactory outcomes are not achieved with current therapies; thus, novel treatments are urgently needed. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a novel therapy for ablating tissue from the outside of the body by focusing
