Comparative studies between humans and golden Syrian hamsters via thromboelastography.

Background: Thromboelastography (TEG) is a widely utilized clinical testing method for real-time monitoring of platelet function and the thrombosis process. Lipid metabolism disorders are crucial risk factors for thrombosis. The lipid metabolism characteristics of hamsters resemble those of humans more closely than mice and rats, and their relatively large blood volume makes them suitable for studying the mechanisms of thrombosis related to plasma lipid mechanisms.

The influence of gender on the epidemiology of and outcome from sepsis associated acute kidney injury in ICU: a retrospective propensity-matched cohort study.

Purposes: The influence of gender on the epidemiology of and outcome from SA-AKI in ICU has not been fully clarified. Our aim is to elucidate these differences.

Methods: This study included adult patients with sepsis in MIMIC IV (V 2.

Enhancement of surface bioactivity on carbon fiber-reinforced polyether ether ketone via graphene modification.

Background And Objective: The modulus of carbon fiber-reinforced polyether ether ketone (CFR-PEEK), a composite containing layers of carbon fiber sheets, can be precisely controlled to match bone. However, CFR-PEEK is biologically inert and cannot promote bone apposition. The objective of this study was to investigate whether graphene modification could enhance the bioactivity of CFR-PEEK.

Relationship between architectural parameters and sample volume of human cancellous bone in micro-CT scanning.

Truly representative architectural parameters of trabeculea can be extremely difficult to achieve based on scanning images because of variable porosity and distribution of trabeculae within the specific overall scanned volume of bone. Accordingly, in present study different selective volume of interests, measured from centroid of μ-CT scanned human vertebral body, were analyzed to determine the architectural parameters (BV/TV, BS/BV, Tb.Th, Tb.
