Predictive Value of Composite Inflammatory Markers for Stroke Prognosis: A Prospective Cohort Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Novel composite inflammatory markers' role in stroke prognosis is understudied, and the best predictor is unclear, requiring further exploration. Objectives This study aimed to systematically evaluate the associations of 6 novel composite inflammatory markers on stroke prognosis.

Decreased thymic output predicts progression of chronic kidney disease

Immunity & Ageing, 2023
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is age-related disease, and decreased renal function is associated with the premature aging of T cells and increased incidence of other age-related diseases.

Natural Frequencies of Levodopa‐Induced Dyskinesia in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Abnormal involuntary movements, known as dyskinesias, are common complications of levodopa treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease and can significantly impair quality of life. The underlying pathophysiology remains unclear, and current therapeutic options are limited.

Integrate the Isogeometric Analysis Approach Based on the T-Splines Function for the Numerical Study of a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cylinder Subjected to a Static Load

Applied Sciences
LGP cylinders are necessary for fuel storage and home heating. To avoid material and human risk, it is essential to maintain their structural integrity. Extensive mechanical research studies and physical tests are necessary for its design.

Construction of smooth branching surfaces using T-splines [PDF]

Computer-Aided Design, 2017
The request for designing or reconstructing objects from planar cross sections arises in various applications, ranging from CAD to GIS and Medical Imaging. The present work focuses on the one-to-many branching problem, where one of the planes can be populated with many, possibly tortuous and densely packed, contours.

Temporal Interference Stimulation of Centromedian‐Parafascicular Complex in Disorders of Consciousness: A Pilot Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Treatment of disorders of consciousness (DoC) remains a major clinical challenge, and noninvasive, targeted modulation of deep brain structures has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility/safety and preliminary effects of thalamic temporal interference stimulation (TIS) targeting centromedian‐

Use of a Molecular Signature Response Classifier to Inform Treatment Selection Improves Clinical Disease Activity Among Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Initiating a Biologic or Targeted Synthetic Disease‐Modifying Antirheumatic Drug

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We assessed the effectiveness of PrismRA to improve clinical outcomes among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) initiating treatment with a biologic or targeted synthetic disease‐modifying antirheumatic drug (b/tsDMARD). Methods PrismRA incorporated 19 gene expression features and four clinical features to assess a patient's likelihood of

Longitudinal Changes in Adiposity After a Youth Sport‐Related Knee Injury: Informing Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis Prevention

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Youth who experience a sport‐related knee injury have elevated odds of becoming overweight or developing obesity in 3 to 10 years, compounding their risk for posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). To inform prevention strategies, this study compared patterns of adiposity change between youth with a sport‐related knee injury and uninjured youth ...

Numerical Analysis of the Cylindrical Shell Pipe with Preformed Holes Subjected to a Compressive Load Using Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines and T-Splines for an Isogeometric Analysis Approach

Axioms
In this paper, we implement the finite detail technique primarily based on T-Splines for approximating solutions to the linear elasticity equations in the connected and bounded Lipschitz domain.

de Boor-suitable (DS) T-splines

Graphical Models, 2018
Abstract We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions under which the de Boor algorithm can be applied to evaluate points on a T-spline surface. We compare these de Boor-suitable (DS) T-splines to the standard analysis-suitable (AS) T-splines. We also develop an algorithm to search in a T-mesh for the appropriate control points and blend them ...
