Impact of manufacturing variables on the mechanical performance of recycled glass-enhanced composites by Nathaphon Buddhacosa, Thevega Thevakumar, Everson Kandare, Sujeeva Setunge, Dilan Robert

“…The impact of post-curing on the composites’ flexural performance was also examined, and it was found that adjusting the epoxy matrix weight fraction from 6 wt% to 12 wt% further influenced the composite’s mechanical properties. X-ray computed tomography (CT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses revealed changes in composite porosity and interfacial bonding, enabling the correlation of these microstructural changes with variations in mechanical properties for both non-ceramified and ceramified composites. …”

Posttraumatic Spinal Cord Injury without Radiographic Abnormality by Kivanc Atesok, Nobuhiro Tanaka, Andrew O’Brien, Yohan Robinson, Dachling Pang, Donald Deinlein, Sakthivel Rajaram Manoharan, Jason Pittman, Steven Theiss

“…“Spinal Cord Injury without Radiographic Abnormality” (SCIWORA) is a term that denotes objective clinical signs of posttraumatic spinal cord injury without evidence of fracture or malalignment on plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT) of the spine. SCIWORA is most commonly seen in children with a predilection for the cervical spinal cord due to the increased mobility of the cervical spine, the inherent ligamentous laxity, and the large head-to-body ratio during childhood. …”

Episodic ataxia type 2 with a novel missense variant (Leu602Arg) in CACNA1A by Shiroh Miura, Emina Watanabe, Kensuke Senzaki, Shigeyoshi Hiruki, Sayaka Matsumoto, Takuya Morikawa, Yusuke Uchiyama, Seiji Kurata, Masayuki Ochi, Yasumasa Ohyagi, Hiroki Shibata

“…Cerebellar atrophy was not evident, but single photon emission computed tomography showed cerebellar hypoperfusion. We identified a novel nonsynonymous variant in CACNA1A, NM_001127222.2:c.1805T>G (p.Leu602Arg), which is predicted to be functionally deleterious; therefore, this variant is likely responsible for EA2 in this pedigree.…”
