Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate preoperative platelet function in patients receiving antiplatelet drugs before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aiming to shorten surgical wait times.* -
- The research involved 48 patients on various P2Y12 receptor blockers and assessed their platelet response using thromboelastography-platelet mapping, revealing resistance rates of 25% for clopidogrel, 33% for ticagrelor, and 33% for prasugrel.* -
- Findings suggested that identifying resistance to these medications can significantly reduce CABG waiting times compared to existing guidelines, thereby minimizing potential life-threatening delays.*
Existing steel frames not complying with modern seismic codes are often vulnerable to earthquakes due to inadequate seismic detailing. These types of framed structures typically feature semi-rigid and partial strength column-base connections; the behaviour of such connections may significantly affect their seismic performance. However, current code provisions offer limited guidance for the assessment and retrofit of column-base connections To fill the knowledge gap, the H2020 EU-funded Earthquake Assessment of Base-Column Connections in Existing Steel Frames project experimentally investigated, the response of exposed column-base plate connections.

- Microplastics and microfibers are tiny plastic bits that are causing big environmental problems in oceans.
- Researchers have created a new, easy way to count and analyze these particles without complicated steps like washing or heating.
- They tested this new method in areas around Naples, Italy, to see how common these plastic bits are in both sea and land sediments.
Seismically pre-qualified beam-to-column joints guarantee large ductility in seismic scenarios thanks to the effectiveness of the design rules and technological requirements that are devoted to avoiding the failure of brittle components (i.e., bolts and welds).

Within the ongoing research project "FUTURE"(Full-scale experimental validation of steel moment frame with EU qualified joints and energy efficient claddings under Near fault seismic scenarios), shake table tests will be carried out on a two-story one bay MRF equipped with different types of prequalified beam-to-column joints. In order to design the experimental campaign, preliminary numerical simulations have been carried out to predict the seismic performance of the experimental mock-up in terms of distribution of damage, transient and residual interstory drifts.
