Study of the martensitic transition in Ni-Mn-Sn-Ti ferromagnetic shape memory alloys

In the present work, mechanical spectroscopy measurements as a function of temperature and strain have been performed in (at.%) Ni50Mn37Sn13-xTix (x=0, 0.5 and 2) ferromagnetic shape memory alloys in order both to study martensitic transition phenomenon and also to determine its temperature of appearance. For mechanical spectroscopy measurements, a five elements piezoelectric device recently developed has been used. In addition, other characterization techniques as, differential thermal analysis and superconducting quantum interference magnetic spectroscopy, were also used. Besides, relaxation processes near the martensitic transition temperature have been also observed.Fil: Bonifacich, Federico Guillermo. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Changes in the crystalline degree in neutron irradiated EPDM viewed through infrared spectroscopy and inelastic neutron scattering

The changes in the degree of crystallinity in commercial Ethylene Propylene Diene rubber-type M (EPDM) irradiated with neutrons at different doses has been studied by means of inelastic neutron scattering and infrared absorption spectroscopy experiments. EPDM samples were taken from the housing of non-ceramic electrical insulators which are used in outdoor transmission lines of 66 kV. Inelastic neutron scattering spectra were recorded at 5 K with an accessible energy-transfer range between 180 - 3500 cm-1. Infrared studies were performed at room temperature with an energy transfer between 4000 - 400 cm-1. Controlled neutron irradiation allows to obtain different volume fraction and size of crystalline zones in EPDM. The obtained results are discussed and correlated with studies of differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy from where the changes in crystallinity in EPDM were indirectly studied. Inelastic neutron scattering studies were not appropriate for determining the changes in the crystallinity degree in neutron irradiated commercial EPDM. In contrast, from infrared absorption spectroscopy the changes in crystallinity could be determined successfully.Fil: Lambri, Osvaldo Agustin F.. Universidad Nacional de Rosario.

Risk factors and outcome of COVID-19 in patients with hematological malignancies

Background: Prognostic factors of poor outcome in patients with hematological malignancies and COVID-19 are poorly defned. Patients and methods: This was a Spanish transplant group and cell therapy (GETH) multicenter retrospective observational study, which included a large cohort of blood cancer patients with laboratory-confrmed SARS-CoV-2 infection through PCR assays from March 1st 2020 to May 15th 2020. Results: We included 367 pediatric and adult patients with hematological malignancies, including recipients of autologous (ASCT) (n=58) or allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) (n=65) from 41 hospitals in Spain. Median age of patients was 64 years (range 1-93.8). Recipients of ASCT and allo-SCT showed lower mortality rates (17% and 18%, respectively) compared to non-SCT patients (31%) (p=0.02). Prognostic factors identifed for day 45 overall mortality (OM) by logistic regression multivariate analysis included age>70 years [odds ratio (OR) 2.1, 95% con‑ fdence interval (CI) 1.2-3.8, p=0.011]; uncontrolled hematological malignancy (OR 2.9, 95% CI 1.6-5.2, p20 mg/dL (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.7-6.4, p<0.0001). In multivariate analysis of 216 patients with very severe COVID-19, treatment with azithromycin or low dose corticosteroids was associated with lower OM (OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.2-0.89 and OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.11-0.87, respectively, p=0.02) whereas the use of hidroxycloroquine did not show signifcant improvement in OM (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.37-1.1, P=0.1). Conclusions: In most patients with hematological malignancies COVID-19 mortality was directly driven by older age, disease status, performance status, as well as by immune (neutropenia) parameters and level of infammation (high CRP). Use of azithromycin and low dose corticosteroids may be of value in very severe COVID-19

Multiancestry analysis of the HLA locus in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases uncovers a shared adaptive immune response mediated by HLA-DRB1*04 subtypes

This article contains supporting information online at https://www.pnas.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1073/pnas.2302720120/-/DCSupplemental.Across multiancestry groups, we analyzed Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) associations in over 176,000 individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) versus controls. We demonstrate that the two diseases share the same protective association at the HLA locus. HLA-specific fine-mapping showed that hierarchical protective effects of HLA-DRB1*04 subtypes best accounted for the association, strongest with HLA-DRB1*04:04 and HLA-DRB1*04:07, and intermediary with HLA-DRB1*04:01 and HLA-DRB1*04:03. The same signal was associated with decreased neurofibrillary tangles in postmortem brains and was associated with reduced tau levels in cerebrospinal fluid and to a lower extent with increased Aβ42. Protective HLA-DRB1*04 subtypes strongly bound the aggregation-prone tau PHF6 sequence, however only when acetylated at a lysine (K311), a common posttranslational modification central to tau aggregation. An HLA-DRB1*04-mediated adaptive immune response decreases PD and AD risks, potentially by acting against tau, offering the possibility of therapeutic avenues.This work was supported by the Michael J.

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

Mobility of twin boundaries in Fe-Pd-based ferromagnetic shape memory alloys

The mobility of twin boundaries in (at.%) Fe70Pd30, Fe67Pd30Co3 and Fe66.8Pd30.7Mn2.5 has been studied by mechanical spectroscopy. Measurements were carried out in amplitude dependent damping regime. A new model based on the Friedel theory was developed to obtain the activation energy (～2 kJ/mol) for twin boundaries motion. The model describes the amplitude dependent damping from thermally assisted break-away of dislocations. Interaction processes among twin boundaries, dislocations and vacancies during the recovery of the structure are also discussed. Moreover, a damping peak related to a dislocation dragging mechanism controlled by vacancies migration without break-away, earlier reported in Fe-Pd alloys, was also found in Fe-Pd-Co and Fe-Pd-Mn alloys.Fil: Bonifacich, Federico Guillermo.

Elastic and Plastic Strains Misfits During the Reverse Martensitic Transformation

The properties of technological interest of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are linked to the occurrence of a thermoelastic martensitic transformation (MT). In the particular case of FePd alloys, a structure of twinned variants is formed by cooling as a result of the MT to minimize the internal stresses developed during the fcc–fct transformation. Different models have been proposed to analyze the internal strains and stresses but only describing the state after the complete MT. In this work, a mean-field model based on the Eshelby inclusion problem (EIP) is developed for the reverse MT characterization. This model allows determining the internal elastic and plastic strains during the evolution of this transition. The developed model is applied to a Fe66.8Pd30.7Mn2.5 alloy. For this study, the reorientation of martensite variants responsible for the plastic effect in Fe66.8Pd30.7Mn2.5 alloy was considered. It should be highlighted that the elastic and plastic response during the reverse MT could be monitored by the evolution of two elastic and elastoplastic misfit coefficients. The highest values of internal elastic and elastoplastic strains are obtained at the maximum of the internal stresses; this occurs when both transforming phases coexist around the midpoint of transformation. Moreover, the internal strain in martensite is higher than in austenite in the whole reverse MT temperature range in Fe66.8Pd30.7Mn2.5 alloy. According to the model, the maximum plastic strain is less than 10 pct of the total strain. In this context, the present study has been applied to analyze the effect of microstructure changes due to precipitation on the internal stresses linked to the reverse MT.Fil: Bonifacich, Federico Guillermo.
