Association of red blood cell transfusions with periventricular leukomalacia in very preterm infants
Abstract Background and Objectives Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions have been associated with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and adverse long‐term neurodevelopmental outcomes in very preterm infants. Although lower transfusion thresholds reduce the incidence of ROP, they have not improved neurological outcome. Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is a

Impact of Seasonal Composition on the Long‐Term Performance of Post‐Consumer Recycled Polypropylene
Ten batches of post‐consumer polypropylene recyclate were examined over a period of 15 months. Despite identical MFR and density specifications, there were significant differences in their composition, affecting mechanical performance. Elongation at break and crack resistance varied particularly strongly.
