Current Nationwide Landscape of Cardiac Surgery for Children With Trisomy 18 in Japan

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the increasing number of retrospective cohorts describing successful cardiac surgery for children with trisomy 18, no consensus has been reached among healthcare providers regarding cardiac surgery in Japan. This study provided a benchmark to facilitate consensus building by assessing a nationwide surgical database in Japan. A total of

Extrusion Coating of Poly(Hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) and Blends: Modifying the Mechanical Properties and Water Vapor Barrier Performance

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Poly(hydroxy alkanoates) PHAs are a family of bio‐based and biodegradable polyesters, which are potential sustainable alternatives to fossil‐based and nondegradable plastics. The interest in PHAs ascends from their renewable origin, unique properties, and fast degradation rates in soil and marine conditions. This study focuses on properties of

MRI Assessment of Energy Loss Within the Thoracic Aorta and Its Impact on Cardiac Function in Fontan Patients After Aortic Reconstruction

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In Fontan patients undergoing aortic reconstruction, concerns regarding the impact of aortic function on ventricular function exist. Purpose 4D Flow MRI was used to compare energy loss (EL) within the thoracic aorta in patients with and without aortic reconstruction. Study Type Retrospective case control.

Murine Supraspinatus Tendons Demonstrate Aging‐Related Changes in Multiscale Mechanics, Structure, and Gene Expression

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rotator cuff disorders are common in the aging population, often leading to pain, disability, and reduced quality of life. Age‐associated changes can occur disproportionately in regions of high mechanical stress, such as the insertion site of the supraspinatus tendon, leading to increased injury rates and tendinopathies.

Synergistic effects of annealing heat treatment and lignocellulose fiber incorporation on the thermal, mechanical, and water absorption properties of poly(lactic acid)‐based biocomposites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
The effect of molecular structure on the moisture absorption of PLA/cellulose biocomposites. Abstract This study investigates the effect of annealing heat treatment on polymer composites composed entirely of biodegradable components. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was used as the matrix material paired with three different types of commercial lignocellulose ...
