Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs) are a critical technology for efficient hydrogen production to decarbonize fuels and industrial feedstocks. To make hydrogen cost-effective, the overpotentials across the cell need to be decreased and platinum-group metal loading reduced. One overpotential that needs to be better understood is due to mass transport limitations from bubble formation within the porous transport layer (PTL) and anode catalyst layer (ACL), which can lead to a reduction in performance at typical operating current densities.

Background And Objective: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) with inflammatory risk are important contributors to cardiovascular disease, but no definitive information is available in large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke. This study aims to investigate the association between NETs with related inflammatory biomarkers and prognosis of LAA stroke in the Chinese population.

Methods: A prospective study involving 145 LAA stroke cases and 121 healthy controls was conducted.

Exercise stress test-induced hypofibrinolysis and changes in circulating levels of several interleukins have been observed in aortic stenosis (AS). However, it is unknown whether the pattern of exercise-induced changes in oxidative stress differs between AS patients and controls and if the differences are associated with changes in fibrinolysis and inflammation. We studied 32 asymptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe AS and 32 controls of similar age, sex, and body mass index.

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common endocrine cause of secondary hypertension and can be effectively managed, or even cured, with targeted treatment. Despite this, it remains largely undiagnosed leaving a significant patient population with resistant hypertension and modifiable cardiovascular risk.

Objective: To determine expert consensus on key information about PA that should ideally be taught to medical students as a step toward improving the detection of this common, underdiagnosed, and often easily treated condition.
