Recycling of Polymer Components From Waste Face Masks for Asphalt Modification: A Mini Review
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic greatly increased plastic waste through widespread personal protective equipment (PPE) use, creating a serious environmental challenge. Disposable face masks (FM), primarily composed of non‐biodegradable polypropylene, account for an estimated 86 million units discarded monthly, leading to significant environmental ...

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.DOPO‐containing melamine flame retardants improve the flame retardancy, droplet resistance and mechanical properties of WPU. ABSTRACT To improve the flame retardancy of waterborne polyurethane (WPU), two novel DOPO‐containing melamine‐based flame retardants were synthesized by combining Schiff bases (derived from p‐hydroxybenzaldehyde ...

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective To assess risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) in a contemporary cohort of women with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in relation to the timing of SSc diagnosis and by parity. Methods From the nationwide Swedish Medical Birth Register, we assembled pregnancies with births in women with SSc and in comparator women from the general population ...

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Objective International criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) include lupus anticoagulant (LA), anticardiolipin (aCL) immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM, and anti‐β2‐glycoprotein I (β2GPI) IgG and IgM. However, evidence supporting their prognostic value or treatment efficacy in improving live birth rates is limited.

A phase 2 trial of hydroxychloroquine in individuals at risk for rheumatoid arthritis
Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Background Individuals with serum elevations of anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP) antibodies are at increased risk for future rheumatoid arthritis (RA). No pharmacologic interventions have been approved for the prevention of RA in such ‘at‐risk’ individuals. However, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is used without supporting clinical trial evidence.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Objective Cardiovascular events are major determinants of morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), particularly in patients with renal involvement. While oxidative stress has been implicated in driving vascular and renal damage in SLE, the specific mechanisms remain unclear.

Cytokine pathways driving diverse tissue pathologies in rheumatoid arthritis
Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex systemic disorder characterised primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease e.g. of the lung with potentially devastating clinical consequences.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.Objective Cellular mechanisms driving transition from psoriasis to psoriatic arthritis have remained largely elusive. Thus, we investigated changes within the peripheral blood T cell compartment associated with the transition phase. Methods In an observational study, 116 patients were examined and categorized into subgroups including psoriasis with at ...
