Article Abstract

Newly prepared titanium alloy (Ti-13Zr-13Nb (TZN)) using powder metallurgy is considered in this investigation. Titanium alloys (TZN) are used in hip and knee replacement for orthopedic implants. Conventional machining, TZN alloys produce higher tool wear rate and poor surface quality, but this can be reduced by Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) method. Moreover, EDM produce good biological and corrosion resistant surface. In this research, experiments were conducted by considering the influential process factors such as pulse on time, pulse off time, voltage, and current. The experiments were designed based on Response Surface Methodology (RSM) of face centered central composite design. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was conducted to identify the significance process factors and their relation to output responses such as Electrode Wear Rate (EWR), Surface Roughness (SR) and Material Removal Rate (MRR). Further, an empirical model was developed by RSM in order to predict the output responses.

Rationale: There are insufficient data to inform the management of central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOT) has been postulated to benefit CSA patients with HFrEF, but has not been rigorously studied.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of add-on metformin treatment in persons with active epilepsy (a-PWE). This is a single-centric, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial randomised a-PWE (1:1) to receive either metformin (extended-release 500 mg) or matching placebo for 6 months along with background antiseizure medications. Primary outcome was percentage change in seizure frequency/month, and secondary outcomes were 50% responder rate, serum mTOR expression, and serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC), body composition analysis, quality of life (QOL), and safety assessment.

The scorpion Hottentotta judaicus inhabits the Levant region of the Middle East, including Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. While previous research focused on its insecticidal properties and sodium-channel-targeting toxins, its venom remains largely unexplored using modern proteomic approaches. We analyzed the venom composition of H.

Defective wounds pose health risks, and treatment is challenging. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) show promise for healing. Primary UCMSCs were isolated and extracted in vitro, and the proliferation and differentiation characteristics were detected by flow cytometry and trilineage differentiation, and a 3D spherical cell culture was performed.

September 2025

Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory for Processing and Forming of Advanced Metallic Materials, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, 510640, China.

In modern micro/nano fabrication, 3D printing technology drives industry transformation. However, existing technologies face bottlenecks in improving process efficiency and precision, while also struggling to achieve accurate fabrication of composite 3D microstructures. This study proposes a microlens self-focusing printing technique that integrates digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing with an optical microscope platform.
