Digital muscle reconstructions have gained attraction in recent years, serving as powerful tools in both educational and research contexts. These reconstructions can be derived from various 2D and 3D data sources, enabling detailed anatomical analyses. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of surface scans in accurately reconstructing the volumes...

Agricultural films are a major source of low density polyethylene (LDPE) waste, which is challenging to recycle, as it is often multilayer and can contain pigments such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) and carbon black. In this study a dissolution recycling process was developed, that was able to recover three outputs: LDPE, poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) ...

BACKGROUND: For patients with a maxillary transversal deficiency (MTD), various treatment options are available, partly based on the practitioner's experience. This study aimed to determine a cut-off age for decision making between surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) over orthodontic rapid palatal expansion (ORPE) based on skeletal ...

INTRODUCTION: The longitudinal progression of synaptic loss in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and how it is affected by tau pathology remains poorly understood. METHODS: Thirty patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and 26 healthy controls underwent cognitive evaluations and tau, synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), and amyloid positron e...

Background: Vitamin D and iron deficiencies are prevalent among Moroccan women of reproductive age (WRA). Research suggests that Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) may impair iron bioavailability, potentially leading to iron deficiency (ID) and anemia. Objectives: This study investigates associations between vitamin D status, iron levels, and anemia risk i...

The capricious reactivity and speciation of earth-abundant metals (EAM) hinder the mechanistic understanding essential to boost their efficiency and versatility in catalysis. Moreover, metal's solution chemistry and reactivity are conventionally controlled using organic ligands, while their fundamental chemistry in operando conditions is often over...

INTRODUCTION: Metastases increase the risk of fracture when affecting the femur. Consequently, clinicians need to know if the patient's femur can withstand the stress of daily activities. The current tools used in clinics are not sufficiently precise. A new method, the CT-scan-based finite element analysis, gives good predictive results. However, n...

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology represents the most promising metal additive manufacturing process to be scaled up to an industrial level for producing full batches of parts within the automotive aerospace and health sectors, among others. Despite this higher technological readiness, imperfections such as warping, porosities or undesired ...
