Upacicalcet: A Novel Intravenous Calcimimetic Agent for Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in patients receiving maintenance dialysis, driven by calcium and phosphate metabolism disturbances. Calcimimetics are central to the management of SHPT by enhancing calcium‐sensing receptor sensitivity and reducing parathyroid hormone secretion.

Optimal Allocation of Fire Extinguishing Equipment for a Power Grid Under Widespread Fire Disasters

IEEE Access, 2018
Widespread fire disasters always occur in several concentrated short periods. A large range of fire disasters can cause the tripping of dozens of transmission lines simultaneously, posing a serious threat to safe operation of the power grid.

Adjunctive Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Refractory Adult‐Onset Still's Disease Complicated by Secondary Macrophage Activation Syndrome: A Single‐Center Experience

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) carries substantial mortality. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with AOSD‐MAS treated with TPE at a single‐center.

Optimal reduction

, 2002
We generalize various symplectic reduction techniques to the context of the optimal momentum map. Our approach allows the construction of symplectic point and orbit reduced spaces purely within the Poisson category under hypotheses that do not ...

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Electro-Thermal Modeling of Metal-Oxide Arrester under Power Frequency Applied Voltages

Energies, 2018
Metal-oxide arresters (MOAs) are used to absorb the electrical energy resulting from overvoltages in power systems. However, temperature rises caused by the absorbed energy can lead to the electrothermal failure of MOAs.
