ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Design of an extra-low-loss broadband Y-branch waveguide splitter based on a tapered MMI structure
An optimal design for an extra-low loss buried waveguide Y-branch splitter is presented over a broadband wavelength range from 1500~1600 nm. A tapered multimode waveguide section, earlier used to reduce the excess loss, is optimized when the light ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
