Atherosclerosis (AS) is a complex pathology process involving intricate interactions among various cells and biological processes.Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the predominant cell type in normal arteries, and under atherosclerotic stimuli, VSMCs respond to altered blood flow and microenvironment changes by downregulating contractile mar
Wave induced vibrations increase the fatigue and extreme loading, but this is normally neglected in design.The industry view on this is changing.Wave induced vibrations are often divided into springing and whipping, and their relative contribution to fatigue and extreme loading varies depending on ship design.When it comes to displacement vessels,
Rationale & Objective: We sought to elicit patient preferences regarding the use of plasma exchange in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) and its tradeoffs of risk of kidney failure and risk of serious infection.Study Design: Patient survey.Setting & Participants: The online survey was circulated to adults with
