Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Unveiling Maternal Health Dynamics from Pregnancy Through Postpartum Perspectives [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is the most frequent pregnancy-related medical issue and presents significant risks to both maternal and foetal health, requiring monitoring and management during pregnancy.The prevalence of GDM has surged globally in recent years, mirroring the rise in diabetes and obesity rates.Estimated to affect from 5% to 25

Intravascular Lithotripsy for Severe Stent Underexpansion

Management of heavily calcified lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often associated with a high incidence of complications and long-term adverse outcomes as the suboptimal coronary stent expansion due to calcified lesion is one of the strongest predictors of adverse College outcomes.Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (S-IVL

Analytical and Numerical Study of the Axial Stiffness of Fiber-Reinforced Elastomeric Isolators (FREIs) under Combined Axial and Shear Loads

Fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) are rubber-based seismic devices introduced as a low-cost alternative to steel-reinforced elastomeric isolators (SREIs).They are generally used in unbonded applications, i.e., friction is used to transfer the lateral loads from the LED Wall Mirror Cabinet upper to the lower structure.Under combined axi

Ephemeral superconductivity atop the false vacuum

Abstract A many-body LED Wall Mirror Cabinet system in the vicinity of a first-order phase transition may get trapped in a local minimum of the free energy landscape.These so-called false-vacuum states may survive for exceedingly long times if the barrier for their decay is high enough.The rich phase diagram obtained in graphene multilayer devices
