Oral glucocorticoids added to ILD‐modifying therapy in systemic sclerosis‐associated interstitial lung disease: a target trial emulation study from the EUSTAR database.

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives We aimed to estimate whether adding oral glucocorticoids to ILD‐modifying therapy improves 12‐month lung outcomes in systemic sclerosis‐associated interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD). Methods We emulated a target trial using the EUSTAR database.

Air‐Pressure–Actuated Vibroacoustic Metamaterial With Tunable Bandgap: Design, Modeling, and Characterization

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents the design, modeling, and characterization of air‐pressure–actuated programmable vibroacoustic metamaterials (PVAMM). The study focuses on leveraging air pressure to dynamically tune resonance frequencies for effective noise attenuation.

Controlling Grain Growth in Powder Bed Fusion of Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia Using Femtosecond Lasers: Challenges and Methodological Insights

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Binder‐free laser powder bed fusion of 8YSZ with a femtosecond laser is used to map process windows linking scan strategy, heat accumulation, and grain growth. Time‐resolved thermography and simulations reveal thermal regimes that enable continuous, vitrified, and fine‐grained 8YSZ surface layers without absorptive additives and demonstrate ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) is one of the crucial receptors in pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) families which can recognize the pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus

Creation of Explorable Head and Neck Model in the Third Dimension

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2008
Anatomy is the basic language of medical and healthcare education, yet the hours allotted for teaching anatomy is decreasing. Educators must now cultivate more efficient ways to aid the learning of anatomy. We have created a new tool that can improve anatomy education ‐ a virtual head and neck model for stereo viewing and interaction in a simulated 3D ...

Accommodation for ex-offenders: third sector housing advice and provision [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Links between homelessness and offending are well-established with about a third of offenders being homeless either before or after imprisonment. Housing has been recognised as one of the key factors that can reduce re-offending and is one of the seven ...

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

[Avascular necrosis of the third metacarpal head: a case report].

open access: yesActa orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica, 2004
Avascular necrosis of the third metacarpal head is a rare entity. It may remain asymptomatic, but may also be painful and lead to restricted range of motion. A-thirteen-year-old male patient presented with a painful and restricted range of motion in the third metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint.
