Article Synopsis
- Utilizing the complete flax stem as reinforcement in a polymer matrix can significantly lower costs, energy use, and environmental impacts of composite production.
- Previous research didn't fully leverage the eco-friendly properties of flax by using it in non-biodegradable materials; this study focuses on its application in a biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) matrix.
- The results showed a notable increase in mechanical properties, including a 62% boost in longitudinal stiffness and a reduction in the anisotropy ratio, indicating that flax stems could be a more sustainable alternative to traditional short technical fibers.
Background: Current guidelines recommend the use of vancomycin for the initial treatment of moderate to severe Clostridioides difficile Infection (CDI). Surotomycin, a novel antibiotic, has been utilized for the management of CDI with variable results.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using the following electronic databases [Medline, Embase, google scholar and Cochrane] for eligible studies.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing problem worldwide. Clinical and epidemiologic studies have shown that structural and functional changes that occur in major arteries are a major contributing factor to the high mortality in uremic patients. Recent studies have shown a stepwise increase of the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) from CKD Stage 1 to Stage 5.
