ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the Vasovagal Tone Index (VVTI) at different stages of Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease (MMVD). A total of 525 electrocardiograms from the period between 2014 and 2023 were analyzed, ...

Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome (HHS) represents the most severe form of dyskeratosis congenita (DC), a telomere biology disorder caused by pathogenic variants in genes involved in telomere maintenance. DKC1 encodes dysker...

Background Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) uses risk priority numbers (RPNs) based on 3 parameters to classify risks. Risk analysis methods use thresholds to determine risk. These class intervals do not account ...

The approach for calculating the ultimate bearing capacity at the tip of rock-socketed pile in karst areas is proposed considering the coupled bearing effects of rock of socketed part and cavity roof, as well as the infl...

Renal dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis causes significant morbidity, and clinically appears as acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic renal failure (CRF), and CRF on AKI. The main causes of renal dysfunction are preren...

A small-scale physical modelling system is developed to study the pull-out mechanism of embedded soil nails based on transparent soil and particle image velocimetry (PIV). Four types of soil anchorages, common cylindrica...

The experimental tests are carried out on the strength and deformation characteristics of four typical rock samples of phyllite taken from the northern tunnels of Longmen Mountains of the Chengdou-Lanzhou Railway. The re...

Abstract Background Neuraxial block failure in obese parturients is a significant clinical challenge, leading to inadequate pain relief and increased maternal risk. Novel techniques such as the Combined Spinal-Epidural (...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) remains a major zoonotic threat, yet human infections continue to display striking heterogeneity in clinical severity. We report a fatal case of H5N1 pneumonia in an adult patie...

"Several works have addressed the issue of fault tolerance in multirotors in case of a rotor total failure, particularly their ability to keep full independent control of attitude and altitude. It has been proven that to...

"Several works have addressed the issue of obtaining a six degree of freedom (6DOF) capable multirotor. However, the capability of keeping full control in the case of a total failure in one of the rotors has not yet been...

Background: Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder that presents challenges for total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to its effects on cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune systems. Prior studies associate hypothyroid...

In order to study the influence of non-uniform distribution of fine soil on mechanical properties of coarse-grained soil under freeze-thaw cycles, triaxial shear tests are conducted on different specimens with different ...

There is local shallow and strong permeable stratum in dike (dam) foundation, and its head dissipating capacity is weak. It is easy to cause piping failure, and the failure mechanism still needs further studies. The eros...

Abstract Lubrication failure is one of the main failure forms of gear failure. Time varying meshing stiffness is an important factor affecting the dynamic behavior of gears. However, the influence of oil film stiffness i...

PurposeTo investigate the outcome of single amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) in the treatment of corneal melting associated with ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell tr...

Patients undergoing major surgical operations are under risk of developing acute renal failure postoperatively. Risk factors for developing postoperative renal failure may be classified as: patient risk factors and surgi...

Introduction: This pilot study investigated the effects of ovariectomy-induced estrogen deficiency on the biomechanical properties of intact anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) in a porcine model, a biological condition t...

This study highlights the prevalence of diabetes and hypertension as well as the risk factors that are linked to them. Those with diabetes are as much as four times greater likely than non-diabetics to experience hyperte...

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar por tercer año consecutivo, la falla en la transferencia de inmunidad pasiva en terneras de lechería en la Región Huetar Norte de Costa Rica. Los datos presentados corre...

Based on maintenance data from over 1000 onshore and offshore wind turbines covering more than 4200 operating years, this study presents an analysis of failure rates, repair times, and maintenance resource requirements, ...

The stress-strain response of pristine monolayer graphene under uniaxial loading/unloading over a more extensive size range (100 nm×100 nm) is studied by molecular dynamics simulations, which proves that graphene is p...

Background: In South Africa, the term ‘service delivery’ has become ubiquitous in public discourse, encompassing a wide array of issues from water outages to damaged roads. However, this generalisation often masks t...

BACKGROUND: Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors improve the outcome among patients with left ventricular dysfunction, whether or not they have heart failure. We assessed the role of an angiotensin-converting-enzyme ...
