Incidence of and Risk of Mortality After Hip Fractures in Rheumatoid Arthritis Relative to the General Population

Arthritis Care &Research, Volume 77, Issue 5, Page 604-613, May 2025.
Objective Osteoporosis, a known complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), increases the risk of hip fracture, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Fracture risk estimates in patients with RA treated with contemporary treatment strategies are lacking.

Abnormal left single pulmonary vein: case report of an anecdotal variant

Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2011
We describe here a patient with a very rare ectopic unilateral single pulmonary vein, with normal distal drainage into the left atrium, and thus a non pathologic finding to be distinguished from clinically significant abnormalities.

SCS: Superior‐Vena‐Cava Compressing Shape‐Memory‐Alloy‐Based Implantable Device for Heart Failure

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 7, April 2025.
An implantable superior–vena‐cava compression device, utilizing biocompatible shape‐memory‐alloy actuators, regulates blood flow and thereby achieves an 18.6% reduction in end‐diastolic left ventricular volume in a porcine model of ADHF. This potential long‐term solution minimizes thrombosis risk by avoiding direct blood contact, offering a significant

Experience with the autologous pulmonary vein for pulmonary arterioplasty [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2011
Lobectomy with pulmonary artery resection and reconstruction is seldom performed in order to avoid pneumonectomy in selected cases. The aim of this study is to determine how safe and effective the graft reconstruction of the pulmonary artery is, using autologous tissue taken from the pulmonary vein.Eight patients with diagnosed non-small-cell lung ...

Report of a rare anatomic variant: left upper lobe partial anomalous pulmonary venous return

Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2015
We report the CT findings in a case of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) from the left upper lobe in an adult. PAPVR is an anatomic variant in which one to three pulmonary veins drain into the right atrium or its tributaries, rather than ...

A Novel Protein‐Polysaccharide Oral Nanoemulsion Targeting Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells to Enhance the Therapeutic Effect of Pirfenidone on Fibrosis After Transarterial Chemoembolization for Liver Cancer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...

Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection with Rare Direct Right Atrial Drainage and Unprecedented Array of Coexistent Multisystem Variations

Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is anomalous drainage of all pulmonary veins into systemic circulation. The intracardiac type typically entails the drainage of all the pulmonary veins into the right atrium, via the coronary sinus. The

Successful surgical repair in an older adult with supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection: A case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare, cyanotic and critical congenital heart disease where the entire left and right pulmonary veins fail to drain into the left atrium directly.

Biodegradable, Humidity‐Insensitive Mask‐Integrated E‐Nose for Sustainable and Non‐Invasive Continuous Breath Analysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a paper‐based biodegradable, humidity‐insensitive e‐nose for real‐time breath analysis, addressing challenges in existing technologies such as humidity interference, high costs, and environmental impact. Featuring hydrophobic polymer coatings, these sensors reliably detect VOCs even in high‐moisture environments.

Learning Tubule-Sensitive CNNs for Pulmonary Airway and Artery-Vein Segmentation in CT [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Training convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for segmentation of pulmonary airway, artery, and vein is challenging due to sparse supervisory signals caused by the severe class imbalance between tubular targets and background. We present a CNNs-based method for accurate airway and artery-vein segmentation in non-contrast computed tomography.
