A Review on Failure Modes and Cracking Behaviors of Polypropylene Fibers Reinforced Concrete
Buildings, 2022 Despite being strong under compression, concrete is rather weak when subjected to tensile stress. Concrete has been reinforced with a variety of materials over time in order to resist tensile stresses.

Shear behavior of RC beams prepared with basalt and polypropylene fibers
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022 Basalt and polypropylene fibers are relatively cheap, durable, and corrosion-resistant materials, and they can increase the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Although recent studies investigated the mechanical behavior of fibrous concrete,

Predictive Ability of Plasma p‐tau217 for β‐Amyloid Status: A Prospective Multicenter Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Plasma tau phosphorylated at threonine 217 (p‐tau217) measured with fully automated platforms has shown high accuracy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis, but real‐world multicenter data remain limited. We aimed to validate the diagnostic performance of p‐tau217 for identifying AD pathology in a real‐world multicenter cohort ...

Stage‐Dependent β‐Synuclein Links MRI and Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Synaptic degeneration drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but synaptic biomarkers are scarce. Brain‐enriched β‐synuclein emerged as a synaptic damage marker. We investigated its diagnostic, prognostic, and structural correlates across the AD continuum.
