Borophene is emerging as a promising electrode material for Li, Na, Mg, and Ca ion batteries due to its anisotropic Dirac properties, high charge capacity, and low energy barrier for ion diffusion. However, practical synthesis of active and stable borophene remains challenging in producing electrochemical devices. Here, we introduce a method for borophene aerogels (BoAs), utilizing hexagonal boron nitride aerogels.

As vaccines are developed and introduced, their effect on the disease on both, the global and individual scale is a subject of intense curiosity. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between risk factors for hospitalization, disease severity, and vaccination status in COVID-19 inpatients in a pandemic hospital.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Cardiology, Harran University, Sanliurfa, Turkey, during Ramadan 2015, and comprised overweight and obese males. Body composition, arterial stiffness and echocardiography were assessed before and after Ramadan.
High aortic pulse-wave velocity may be responsible for elevated red blood cell distribution width in overweight and obese people: a community-based, cross-sectional study.

Article Synopsis
- Obesity and overweight are linked to a higher risk of atherosclerosis, and this study focuses on the relationship between red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and aortic stiffness in individuals with these conditions.
- The research involved 101 overweight or obese participants and 48 healthy controls, measuring RDW, aortic pulse-wave velocity (PWV), and augmentation index. Results showed that RDW and PWV were significantly elevated in overweight/obese groups compared to controls, with RDW being a key predictor of arterial stiffness.
- Ultimately, the study concluded that RDW, along with resting heart rate and age, could help identify early signs of atherosclerosis in overweight and obese people, emphasizing RDW's importance in
Relation of elastic properties of pulmonary artery with left ventricular abnormalities and aortic stiffness in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea: A cross-sectional echocardiographic study.

June 2016
Objective: In this study, the associations between pulmonary artery stiffness (PAS) and aortic stiffness, left ventricular diastolic parameters, and left ventricular mass (LVM) index in moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients without coexisting disorders were investigated.
Methods: A total of 66 non-diabetic, non-hypertensive, and non-smoking volunteers were enrolled. Participants were categorized by apnea-hypopnea index (AHI; event/hour).
