Biological knowledge-slanted random forest approach for the classification of calcified aortic valve stenosis

BioData Mining, 2021
Background Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) is a fatal disease and there is no pharmacological treatment to prevent the progression of CAVS. This study aims to identify genes potentially implicated with CAVS in patients with congenital bicuspid ...

Lower incidence of new-onset severe conduction disturbances after transcatheter aortic valve implantation with bicuspid aortic valve in patients with no baseline conduction abnormality: a cross-sectional investigation in a single center in China

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundWith technological advancements, the incidence of most transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)-related complications, with the exception of conduction disturbances, has decreased.

Compound Hot‐Dry Days (CHDDs) and Their Implications on Maize Yields in the Free State Province, South Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Compound hot‐dry events occurring during the maize growing period are increasing significantly (p < 0.05) with time, with the median values ranging from 93 to 120 days. El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences the variability of compound hot‐dry events with high significance (p < 0.05) positive Pearson correlation.

The prognostic impact of cardiac microvesicles in patients with severe aortic stenosis [PDF]

, 2021
Die Aortenklappenstenose gehört zusammen mit der Mitralklappeninsuffizienz zu den häufigsten Herzklappenerkrankungen in Europa und wird standardmäßig mittels chirurgischen Ersatzes der Klappe therapiert.

Comparison of the Coating Structure of Silicon‐Based PECVD Coatings With Varying Organic Content

Plasma Processes and Polymers, EarlyView.
Silicon‐based PECVD coatings transition abruptly from organic SiOCH to oxidic SiOx at ~32 at% silicon, exhibiting threshold behavior in barrier performance. Chemical composition seems to dominate over porosity: SiOx coatings unexpectedly show higher porosity yet superior barrier properties, possibly due to rigid cage‐like molecular structures ...

Intima-media thickness of the descending aorta in patients with bicuspid aortic valve

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2016
Objective: A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with accelerated aortic valve disease (AVD) and abnormalities in aortic elasticity. We investigated the intima-media thickness of the descending aorta (AoIMT) in patients with AVD with or without an ...

White‐Light Flexible Crystal With 180° Folding Induced by Halogen‐Bond Network in Organic‐Inorganic Hybrid Perovskite

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organic‐inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) with white‐light emission have significant potential in solid‐state lighting and display due to the designable structure and excellent luminescent properties. However, OIHPs are prone to damage during bending due to the brittleness of crystals, which limits their application in the field of flexible

Band Edge Reorganization via Symmetry Constraints in Covalent Bonding Heterojunctions Boosts Photocatalytic Metronidazole Degradation

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The covalent bonds at heterojunction interfaces enable more efficient charge carrier separation than traditional weakly coupled heterojunctions, with enhanced photocatalytic performance for organic wastewater purification. The interfacial covalent bonds drive energy band reorganization, rendering the conventional independent band edge ...

The 2b Protein of Cucumoviruses Has a Role in Promoting the Cell-to-cell Movement of Pseudorecombinant Viruses

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2003
Pseudorecombinant viruses (i.e., those containing a reas-sorted genome of closely related multipartite viruses) are often not as competitive as the parental viruses. The role of the 2b gene in hypervirulence and maintenance of a progressive infection was
