Exploring the Potential of Macauba Biomass: A Bibliometric Approach to Biofuels and Other Byproducts

ABSTRACT Macauba palm ( Acrocomia spp.) is a perennial, fruit‐bearing plant native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, predominantly found in South and Central America. Belonging to the Arecaceae family, it thrives in diverse climatic conditions and is characteri...

Methodological Quality and Overlap of Systematic Reviews Comparing Carotid Endarterectomy versus Carotid Artery Stenting in Symptomatic Contralateral Carotid Occlusion: An Overview of Reviews

Background: Symptomatic contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) is considered a high-risk scenario for carotid revascularization, yet the comparative evidence for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) versus carotid artery stenting (CAS) is largely derived from observational data and repeat...

Therapeutic potential of haptoglobin in a murine model of sickle cell anemia

Chronic hemolytic anemia found in patients with sickle cell disease promotes an excess of free extracellular and intravascular hemoglobin, triggering a series of deleterious effects such as endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and alterations in vascular tone, which lead to...

Age-related variation in heart rate variability across receptor-defined breast cancer groups, with distinct patterns in triple-negative disease: a cross-sectional study

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy among women worldwide, and growing evidence suggests that autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity modulates tumor biology and the tumor microenvironment. Heart rate variability (HRV), a non-invasive index of ANS balance, is influen...

Outcomes of CHOP versus CHOEP/EPOCH in aggressive adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma: an international cohort analysis

Aggressive adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) subtypes (i.e., acute and lymphomatous) are rare diseases, and the conventional management with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) has historically yielded poor outcomes. The benefit of etoposide-conta...

Diffusion Tensor Imaging as a Preliminary Study of White Matter Associations with Surgical Outcome in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Objective This study evaluates pre-surgery white matter abnormalities in evaluating the association between pre-surgical white matter integrity and post-surgery outcomes at the group level using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) in patients with Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (MTLE),...

Rate-dependent mechanical–electrical–thermal abuse response of fresh and aged tabless 4695 cylindrical cells under radial indentation

Electrochemical aging can alter the mechanical abuse response of large-format cylindrical cells, but its effect under dynamic loading remains insufficiently resolved. This study compares fresh and aged tabless 4695 cells at 100 % State of Charge (SoC) under dynamic radial indenta...

Intrinsic fire safety margins in reinforced concrete columns and shear walls resulting from ambient-temperature design

Fire design procedures for RC columns and shear walls assume that structures are designed according to ambient-temperature (AT) standards, whose partial safety factors can provide an intrinsic fire safety margin. However, the magnitude of this margin in fire behavior has not yet...
