Analysis of core outcome set reporting in coronary intervention trials.

Background: This paper will focus on outcome reporting within percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) trials. A core outcome set (COS) is a standardised set of outcomes that are recommended to be reported in every clinical trial. Using a COS can help to ensure that all relevant outcomes are consistently reported across clinical trials.

Improved Dual Network Model for Aging of Rubber Composites under Set Strains.

A new model is presented to predict rubber behavior during chemical aging at fixed strains. The model is validated using a carbon black-filled nitrile butadiene rubber aged in air at 125 °C. The model improves upon Tobolsky's dual network theory, designed for unfilled elastomers undergoing conventional aging but which has also often been used in rubber composites undergoing more complex aging scenarios.

A single-centre prospective cohort study: prone positioning in awake, non-intubated patients with covid-19 hypoxemic failure.

Introduction: A surge in critically ill patients with respiratory failure due to Covid-19 has overwhelmed ICU capacity in many healthcare systems across the world. Given a guarded prognosis and significant resource limitations, less invasive, inventive approaches such as prone positioning (PP) of non-intubated patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure were considered.

Aims And Objectives: This is a prospective observational study and the aim is to evaluate the impact of awake PP at the ward level on the oxygenation levels of patients with COVID-19.

Enhanced Metakaolin Reactivity in Blended Cement with Additional Calcium Hydroxide.

This study aims to increase the pozzolanic reactivity of metakaolin (MK) in Portland cement (PC) blends by adding additional calcium hydroxide (CH_add) to the initial mixture. Cement paste samples were prepared with PC, MK and water with a water-to-binder ratio of 0.6.
