Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V (TA15), widely used in the aerospace industry, is a medium- to high-strength, near-α titanium alloy with high aluminium equivalent value. The TA15 fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) normally presents a typical brittle appearance in as-built status, with high strength and low ductility. In this study, the microstructure and properties of L-PBF TA15 were engineered by various heat treatments below the β-transus temperature (1022 °C). After heat treatment, the original acicular martensite gradually transforms into a typical lamellar α + β dual-phase structure. Withannealing temperature increases, the lamellar α phase thickened with a decreased aspect ratio. Globularisation of the α grain can be noticed when annealing above 800 °C, which leads to a balance between strength and ductility. After heat treatment between 800-900 °C, the desired combination of strength and ductility can be achieved, with elongation of about 12.5% and ultimate tensile strength of about 1100 Mpa.

A carbon nanotube (CNT) composite is an effective method to improve the thermoelectricity of materials. However, the depletion layer between the CNT and thermoelectric (TE) material always decreases the contribution of CNT to the conductivity of the TE material. It is important to eliminate the depletion layer for improving the TE properties.

Recently, there has been growing interest in knowing the best hygrometry level during high-flow nasal oxygen and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and its potential influence on the outcome. Various studies have shown that breathing cold and dry air results in excessive water loss by nasal mucosa, reduced mucociliary clearance, increased airway resistance, reduced epithelial cell function, increased inflammation, sloughing of tracheal epithelium, and submucosal inflammation. With the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic, using high-flow nasal oxygen with a heated humidifier has become an emerging form of non-invasive support among clinicians.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine-metabolic disorder, and multiple factors contribute to its pathophysiology. The current study assessed a PCOS-like animal model induced by consuming a high-fat sugar (HFHS) diet and compared the treatment outcome of mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants versus heat therapy. Sixty rats were divided into the following study groups: three control groups (negative and positive for the treatments used), HFHS, hot tub therapy (HTT) treatment, and MitoQ10 treatment (500 µmol/L MitoQ10 in clean drinking water daily, from week fourteen till week twenty-two of the study).

Heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a highly active molecular chaperone that plays a crucial role in cellular function. It facilitates the folding, assembly and stability of various oncogenic proteins, particularly kinases and transcription factors involved in regulating tumor growth and maintenance signaling pathways. Consequently, HSP90 inhibitors are being explored as drugs for cancer therapy.

Background: Heat stroke, a severe heat illness with organ damage, is a major cause of cause irreparable organ damage and higher death rates among military persons and athletes.
Objectives: To study the changes in blood lactate (Lac) levels and lactate clearance rate (LCR) in athletes with heat illness of varying degrees after high-intensity exercise and to evaluate their prognostic value.
Material And Methods: In present study, acute care unit admitted 36 heat sickness patients following high-intensity exercise from December 2019 to July 2024, with comprehensive medical records, for retrospective study.
