Background: To eliminate hepatitis C (HCV) infection as a public health concern by 2030, there is a need to develop comprehensive programs among key populations such as people who use drugs (PWUD).Two highly effective regimens are available for initial therapy: glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (G/P) given as 3 tablets/day for 8 weeks and sofosbuvir/velpata
BACKGROUND:Aortic stiffness is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease endpoints.Cross-sectional studies have shown associations of various cardiovascular risk factors with aortic pulse wave velocity, a measure of aortic stiffness, but the long-term impact of these factors on aortic stiffness is unknown.METHODS:In 3,769 invertatop squeeze bott
We present a novel approach to the discrete modelling and simulation of maypole braiding machines with continuously rotating horn gears and controllable switches.Previously published models are not generally applicable because they are limited to specific machine geometries.We model maypole braiding machines with continuously rotating horn gears as
Lead-Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) is an interesting candidate as a coolant for Generation IV nuclear power plants.Lead-bismuth lubricated radial guide bearing invertatop squeeze bottle is the key component of the mechanical pump in a lead-bismuth coolant system.In this paper, the transient calculation model of multiphase lubrication flow field of journal
