Enskog Theory for Polydisperse Granular Mixtures II. Sonine Polynomial Approximation

, 2007
The linear integral equations defining the Navier-Stokes (NS) transport coefficients for polydisperse granular mixtures of smooth inelastic hard disks or spheres are solved by using the leading terms in a Sonine polynomial expansion. Explicit expressions

Supportive periodontal care during active orthodontic therapy in patients with history of stage IV periodontitis: A narrative review

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The present narrative review aims to summarize the existing literature on recommendations for supportive periodontal care (SPC) in patients undergoing combined periodontal–orthodontic treatment. It outlines a comprehensive step‐4 treatment sequence in patients diagnosed with stage IV periodontitis and concurrent orthodontic problems.

Mitigating functional fatigue of 3D-printed nickel-titanium shape memory alloy using hybridizing stabilizers

Results in Engineering
Nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (NiTi SMA) is the most used of all shape memory materials. They are often posed with the threat of poor machinability and in-process fatigue during real-time engineering applications.

Pipe Water, Employment and Health: A Gendered Analysis in India

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of indoor piped drinking water (IPDW) on gender disparities in employment and health in India, using panel data from the India Human Development Survey (2005–2012). Employing a differences‐in‐differences (DID) model with heterogeneous treatment effects, the analysis reveals that IPDW access increases rural women ...

Long‐term results of palliative placement of very low‐axial force self‐expandable metallic stents for malignant colorectal obstruction

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Objectives Stent placement is a standard option for palliative decompression in patients with malignant colorectal obstruction. Long‐term stent placement is associated with perforation, migration, and stent occlusion. Perforation is associated with life expectancy.

Prevention of Adverse Events in Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Biliary Drainage

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided biliary drainage (EUS‐BD) is used when biliary drainage using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography fails. Recently, it has been adopted as a primary biliary drainage method, and its indications have expanded.

Nonchaotic Nonlinear Motion Visualized in Complex Nanostructures by Stereographic 4D Electron Microscopy [PDF]

, 2010
Direct electron imaging with sufficient time resolution is a powerful tool for visualizing the three-dimensional (3D) mechanical motion and resolving the four-dimensional (4D) trajectories of many different components of a nanomachine, e.g., a NEMS ...

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography‐guided Biliary Drainage with Duckbill‐type Anti‐reflux Metal Stent versus Endoscopic Ultrasound‐guided Hepaticogastrostomy for Malignant Distal Biliary Obstruction in Pancreatic Cancer with Duodenal Invasion

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Duodenal invasion is a risk factor for early recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) due to the increased risk of duodenobiliary reflux. Transpapillary biliary drainage using anti‐reflux metal stents (ARMS) and endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) are two different strategies for this condition.

Factors Affecting Clinical Course of Postoperative Bile Leakage and Efficacy of Endoscopic Biliary Drainage: A Multi‐Center Retrospective Cohort Study

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Introduction Bile leakage is one of the complications after hepatobiliary surgery, causing intra‐abdominal infections, and is sometimes difficult to treat. The purpose of our study was to investigate the factors related to severity and to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic treatment.
