Mexico’s First Heart Transplant in a Patient with Becker Muscular Dystrophy Reveals an Overlooked Cause of Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Background: Pathogenic variants in the DMD gene are a frequently overlooked cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in idiopathic cases, especially when skeletal myopathy is mild or seemingly absent. Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy are at opposit...

When Coarse EM Models Do Not Transfer: A Cross-Fidelity Study of Microwave Filter Optimization

Lower-fidelity electromagnetic (EM) models are widely used to reduce the computational cost of microwave filter optimization, but their practical usefulness is often assessed through response similarity, own-fidelity objective values, or nominal simulation speedup. This paper exa...
