Three-year efficacy and safety of omidenepag isopropyl in patients with normal tension glaucoma.

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the 3-year efficacy and safety of single-agent omidenepag isopropyl in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG).

Study Design: Retrospective.

Methods: One hundred patients (100 eyes) who had newly been administered omidenepag isopropyl were enrolled in this study.

Development of deoxidation process for off-grade titanium sponge using magnesium metal with wire mesh strainer type of crucible.

In this study, the deoxidation process for off-grade titanium (Ti) sponge using magnesium (Mg) metal with a wire mesh strainer type of crucible was developed. Ti hydride (TiH) feedstock, which was prepared by hydrogenating off-grade Ti sponge, was deoxidized using Mg in a molten magnesium chloride-potassium chloride salt at 933 K under an argon and 20% hydrogen (H) mixed gas atmosphere. After deoxidation, the residual Mg-containing salt was separated in situ from the crucible to investigate the feasibility of minimizing salt loss during the leaching and production of pure TiH.

Corrosion Protection Oxide Scale Formed on Surface of Fe-Ni-M (M = Al, Cr, Cu) Inert Anode for Molten Salt Electrolysis.

An oxide scale formed on the surface of metal anodes is crucial for determining the overall quality of molten salt electrolysis (MSE), particularly for the durability of the anode materials. However, the material properties of oxide scales are yet to be revealed, particularly in ternary spinel oxide phases. Therefore, we investigate the mechanical and thermal properties of spinel oxides via first-principles calculations.
