BackgroundFibrinogen is an essential hemostatic factor and cardiovascular disease risk factor.Early attempts at evaluating the causal effect of fibrinogen on coronary heart disease (CHD) and myocardial infraction (MI) using Mendelian randomization (MR) used single variant approaches, and did not take advantage of recent genome-wide association stud
Currently, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities.Out of these more than four billion people, almost one quarter live in slums or informal settlements.In order to improve living conditions and provide possible solutions for the major problems in slums (e.g., insufficient infrastructure), it is important to understand the cur
Risks of lower third molar surgery like the inferior alveolar nerve injury may result in permanent consequences.Risk assessment is important prior to the surgery and forms part of the informed consent process.Traditionally, plain radiographs like orthopantomogram have been used routinely for this purpose.Cone beam computed Beanies tomography (CBCT)
This work presents a high-efficiency reconfigurable wireless-power-transfer (WPT) system using fully rollable Tx/Rx coils and a metasurface (MS) screen working at 6.78 MHz, for the first time.The MS screens are placed between the Tx and Rx to magnify the power-transfer efficiency (PTE) of the WPT system.The proposed MS-based WPT can be rolled down
