Therapeutic Apheresis for Intravenous Methylprednisolone‐Refractory Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: Clinical and Radiological Outcomes in a Single‐Center Case Series

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a relapsing autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. High‐dose intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) is the standard first‐line therapy for acute attacks, although some patients remain refractory.

Multi-Branch Towed Array System: Systematic Analysis of Modeling Methods, Environmental Responses and Mechanical Properties in Fracture Analysis

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Multi-branch towed array systems are an important component of subsea information collection, which is increasingly required for subsea pipeline laying and offshore platform construction as ocean energy is exploited. However, the complexity of underwater

A mechanistic perspective on plastically flexible coordination polymers [PDF]

, 2019
Mechanical flexibility in single crystals of covalently bound materials is a fascinating and poorly understood phenomenon. We present here the first example of a plastically flexible one‐dimensional (1D) coordination polymer.

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

Thermal fluctuations, mechanical response, and hyperuniformity in jammed solids

, 2015
Jamming is a geometric phase transition occurring in dense particle systems in the absence of temperature. We use computer simulations to analyse the effect of thermal fluctuations on several signatures of the transition.

Quasilocalized states of self stress in packing-derived networks [PDF]

, 2017
States of self stress (SSS) are assignments of forces on the edges of a network that satisfy mechanical equilibrium in the absence of external forces. In this work we show that a particular class of quasilocalized SSS in packing-derived networks, first ...

Neurobiological Mechanisms of Placebo Responses [PDF]

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009
Expectations, positive or negative, are modulating factors influencing behavior. They are also thought to underlie placebo effects, potentially impacting perceptions and biological processes. We used sustained pain as a model to determine the neural mechanisms underlying placebo‐induced analgesia and affective changes in healthy humans.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.
