Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Effect of transverse reinforcement on the shear behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams

World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2022
Reinforced concrete deep beams are safety critical members that carry heavy loads over short spans (ACI Committee 318, 2008). Design provisions in many codes can under or overestimate their shear strength, which introduces reliability concerns in practice (Kong & Evans, 1987).

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Improved Shear Strength Equation for Concrete Wide Beams

Applied Sciences, 2019
An improved shear strength equation is proposed that considers transverse reinforcement spacing and support conditions for concrete wide beams. Eighteen specimens were fabricated to examine the influence of transverse reinforcement spacing, the number of

Bond Strength-Splice Length in Concrete Beams Confined by Transverse Reinforcement [PDF]

Engineering and Technology Journal, 2010
This work aim to study the effect of transverse reinforcement , area of splicebar, concrete cover thickness , rib area and the increasing in concrete strength (highstrengthconcrete) on bond strength between concrete and reinforcing spliced bars ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

The influence of reinforcement’s congestion to the strength of centrally compressed concrete members with GFRP reinforcement [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
The article presents the results of the computational analysis of compressed concrete columns of a water tank with GFRP reinforcement. It is analytically proved that with an increase in the confinement reinforcement ratio and the magnitude of the ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Validating the predicted axial strength of FRP-reinforced concrete circular columns

Magazine of Civil Engineering
Over the last three decades, researchers have significantly contributed to advancing fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars to address corrosion issues in conventional steel reinforcement bars embedded in components of reinforced concrete structures.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...
