A cascading risk model for the failure of the concrete spillway of the Toddbrook dam, England during the August 2019 flooding
Dam break is considered as a major catastrophe with significant negative economic, social, and environmental consequences, and thus must be prevented at any cost. Here, we report and analyze a near-miss dam break incident in...

Salicylic acid (SA) has observationally been shown to decrease colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, that rapidly deacetylates to SA) is an effective primary and secondary chemopreventive agent. Through a...
Annular versus supra-annular sizing for transcatheter aortic valve replacement in bicuspid aortic valve disease.

Sep 28, 2020
BACKGROUND: CT measurement of supra-annular area (SA) has been proposed as an alternative to annular area (AA) for sizing of trancatheter valves in biscuspid aortic valves (BAV). This study examines the reproducibility of SA and...
