Article Synopsis
- Long-term factor Xa (FXa) inhibition shows promise in reducing inflammation and improving outcomes after heart attacks and strokes by impacting platelet function.
- In experiments with mice, chronic FXa inhibition led to smaller brain and heart injury sizes and better cardiac function compared to acute inhibition.
- Analysis of patients revealed that those receiving FXa inhibitors had reduced infarct sizes and showed changes in platelet proteins that suggest decreased release of substances that promote inflammation and clotting.
To address the hitherto unknown mechanism of boundary-layer transition on blunt reentry capsules, the role of roughness-induced disturbance growth on a spherical-section forebody is assessed via optimal transient growth theory and direct numerical simulations (DNS). Optimal transient-growth studies have been performed for the blunt capsule experiments at Mach 5.9 in the Hypersonic Ludwieg tube Braunschweig (HLB) of the Technische Universität Braunschweig, which included measurements behind a patch of controlled, distributed micron-sized surface roughness.
