An acoustic metamaterial (AMM) consisting of a porous material (melamine foam) layer above a symmetrical labyrinthine metamaterial, incorporating a micro-hole and micro-slit cover plate, is proposed to simultaneously mitigate low and high frequency noise from industrial machineries. Theoretical model of sound absorption by this AMM is developed and validated numerically and experimentally. Sensitivity analysis indicates that increasing the length of the labyrinthine pathway and cover plate thickness and decreasing the slit width, slit length, and hole diameter shifts the peak sound absorption to lower frequencies. This material is successfully applied as a sound absorptive enclosure of a 0.5 hp water pump to reduce its sound pressure levels across widely separated frequencies of 1414-2245 Hz (high frequency) and 176-222 Hz (low frequency). This study offers guidelines to noise control engineers for controlling low and high frequency noise in industrial machineries.

Introduction: Blunt traumatic aortic injury (TAI) is a critical condition and a leading cause of mortality in trauma patients, often resulting from high-speed accidents. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has developed into the preferred therapeutic approach due to its minimally invasive nature and promising outcomes. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of TEVAR for managing TAI over a 10-year period at a Level-1 trauma center.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Evidence on health system challenges mostly relate to high-income countries. Lack of context-specific knowledge, educational opportunities, and access to resources among pelvic health care providers could be barriers to effective implementation of pelvic health services in South Africa. The aim of this study was to determine the patient and therapist profile, and the educational and resource needs of pelvic health physiotherapists in South Africa.

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an immunomodulatory molecule that may play an immunosuppressive role in nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC), specifically basal cell carcinoma (BCC). We analyzed the role of IL10 promoter variants in genetic determinants of BCC susceptibility and their association with IL10 mRNA and IL-10 serum levels. Three promoter variants (- 1082 A > G, - 819 T > C, and - 592 A > C) were examined in 250 BCC patients and 250 reference group (RG) individuals.

This study aims to review the literature and estimate the global pooled prevalence of interstitial lung disease among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA-ILD). The influence of risk factors like geography, socioeconomic status, smoking and DMARD use will be explored. A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA and JBI guidelines.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease marked by systemic inflammation. While RA primarily affects the joints, its systemic effects may lead to an increased cerebro- and cardiovascular risk. Atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries is a significant risk factor for cerebrovascular events and serves as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular risk.
