Observation of quantum oscillations near the Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit in CaAs.

The Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit sets the lower bound of the carrier mean free path for coherent quasiparticle transport. Metallicity beyond this limit is of great interest because it is often closely related to quantum criticality and unconventional superconductivity. Progress along this direction mainly focuses on the strange-metal behaviors originating from the evolution of the quasiparticle scattering rate, such as linear-in-temperature resistivity, while the quasiparticle coherence phenomena in this regime are much less explored due to the short mean free path at the diffusive bound.

Aortic Aneurysm with and without Dissection and Concomitant Atherosclerosis-Differences in a Retrospective Study.

Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a latent disease with a high risk of death. Today, as data are accumulating, an estimation of the differences in thoracic aneurysm in men and women of different age groups is required. The present study evaluated the type of atherosclerotic aortic lesions in males and females at different ages regarding the presence or absence of aortic dissection.

INFLAMMATORY FACTORS IN DISSECTION OF THORACIC AORTIC ANEURYSM.

Unlabelled: In recent years, the prevalence of thoracic aortic aneurysm has increased, and in most cases this pathological condition is diagnosed accidentally. The aim of the current study was to determine the relationship of clinical, laboratory and morphological data with the presence of aorta wall dissection in patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm to reveal factors associated with aorta dissection.

Materials And Methods: The following data of 109 patients mean aged of 53 years with thoracic aortic aneurysm (43 patients with aortic dissection) were analyzed: presence/absence of arterial hypertension, indicators of general blood analysis and blood biochemistry, immunomorphological characteristics of the expression of Von Willebrand factor.

Applied physiology: gut microbiota and antimicrobial therapy.

The gut microbiota plays an important role in maintaining human health and in the pathogenesis of several diseases. Antibiotics are among the most commonly prescribed drugs and have a significant impact on the structure and function of the gut microbiota. The understanding that a healthy gut microbiota prevents the development of many diseases has also led to its consideration as a potential therapeutic target.

Engineering Anomalously Large Electron Transport in Topological Semimetals.

Anomalous transport of topological semimetals has generated significant interest for applications in optoelectronics, nanoscale devices, and interconnects. Understanding the origin of novel transport is crucial to engineering the desired material properties, yet their orders of magnitude higher transport than single-particle mobilities remain unexplained. This work demonstrates the dramatic mobility enhancements result from phonons primarily returning momentum to electrons due to phonon-electron dominating over phonon-phonon scattering.
