Unravelling the role of pore structure of biomass-derived porous carbon in charge storage mechanisms for supercapacitors.

This study presents findings on the production and analysis of activated carbon (AC), which exhibits a significantly expansive surface area derived from readily available and inexpensive agroforestry waste, specifically coconut shells. The carbon materials displayed encouraging features for electrochemical energy storage applications with a high specific surface area (2920 m g), an ordered mesoporous structure (∼2.5 nm), and substantial electronic conductivity.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave-Supported Adipose-Derived Fresh Stromal Vascular Fraction Preserved Left Ventricular (LV) Function and Inhibited LV Remodeling in Acute Myocardial Infarction in Rat.

This study tested the hypothesis that extracorporeal shock wave- (ECSW-) assisted adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) therapy could preserve left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and inhibit LV remodeling in a rat after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Adult male SD rats were categorized into group 1 (sham control), group 2 (AMI induced by left coronary artery ligation), group 3 [AMI + ECSW (280 impulses at 0.1 mJ/mm, applied to the chest wall at 3 h, days 3 and 7 after AMI), group 4 [AMI + SVF (1.

Feasibility and Safety of Transulnar Catheterization in Ipsilateral Radial Artery Occlusion.

To investigate the postprocedural cardiovascular events and vascular outcomes, including hand ischemia and neurological compromise, after transulnar (TU) catheterization in ipsilateral radial artery occlusion.Previous randomized trials have shown that the transulnar (TU) approach for coronary angiogram and intervention has safety and outcomes similar to those of the transradial (TR) approach. However, the safety of the TU procedure when ipsilateral radial artery occlusion occurs is unknown.
