Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Surface treatment of an Al2O3-based refractory with CO2 and high power diode lasers for improved mechanical and chemical resistance characteristics [PDF]

, 2002
Within both normal and corrosive (NaOH and HNO3) environmental conditions, the wear rate and wear life characteristics of an Al2O3-based refractory were greatly enhanced by means of CO2 and high power diode laser (HPDL) surface treatment.

Funding, Facilities, and the Face of Homelessness: Heterogeneous Impacts of Federal Grants on Sheltered and Unsheltered Counts

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the causal impact of federal homeless‐assistance grants on reported homelessness and shelter capacity across 370 Continuums of Care in 2019. We exploit cross‐sectional variation in pre‐1940 housing shares, used in Community Development Block Grant formula allocations, as an instrument for combined CoC and Emergency ...
