Background: Invasive exercise right heart catheterization is a gold standard in diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Body positions during the test influence hemodynamics. However, the discrepancy in HFpEF diagnosis between exercise testing in supine versus upright position is unknown.

It was accomplished by measuring the (Ω) of same weight anatase titania pellets, with particle sizes ranging from 5.31 nm to 142.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTantalum-based oxide electrodes have recently drawn much attention as promising anode materials owing to their hybrid Li storage mechanism. However, the utilization of LiTaO electrode materials that can deliver a high theoretical capacity of 568 mAh g has been neglected. Herein, we prepare a layered LiTaO electrode formed artificially by restacking LiTaO nanosheets using a facile synthesis method and investigate the Li storage performance of this electrode compared with its bulk counterpart.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The limited research describing clinical outcomes using telehealth for management of musculoskeletal conditions is primarily within orthopedic surgery care.
Objective: To characterize differences in patient reported outcomes using telehealth compared with in-person follow-up visits in patients with Achilles tendinopathy (AT) or plantar fasciitis (PF) treated using extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT).
Design: Retrospective chart review.
