Investigation of the Behavior of Hydrogen in the Aluminum Alloy in the Manufacture of Small Pigs at the Aluminum Plant UC RUSAL

В статье приведены результаты исследований динамики насыщения алюминия и его сплавов водородом в технологической схеме от алюминиевого электролизера до литейного конвейера в условиях Саяногорского алюминиевого завода ОК РУСАЛ. Показано, что одним из основных источников насыщения расплава алюминия водородом является его взаимодействие с влагой воздуха при открытых переливах металла в процессе его движения от электролизера до литейного конвейера. По результатам обследования предложены технические решения, направленные на снижение концентрации водорода в расплаве, которые составят предмет дальнейших исследованийThe results of studies of aluminum saturation dynamics and its alloys with hydrogen in the technological scheme of the electrolytic aluminum to the casting assembly line in a steel plant RUSAL. It was shown that one of the basic aluminum melt saturation hydrogen source is its interaction with moisture of air in open metal modulations during its movement from the electrolyzer molds. According to a survey of proposed technical solutions to reduce the hydrogen concentration in the melt during further investigation

Design and baseline characteristics of the finerenone in reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in diabetic kidney disease trial

Background: Among people with diabetes, those with kidney disease have exceptionally high rates of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality and progression of their underlying kidney disease. Finerenone is a novel, nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that has shown to reduce albuminuria in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) while revealing only a low risk of hyperkalemia. However, the effect of finerenone on CV and renal outcomes has not yet been investigated in long-term trials. Patients and Methods: The Finerenone in Reducing CV Mortality and Morbidity in Diabetic Kidney Disease (FIGARO-DKD) trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of finerenone compared to placebo at reducing clinically important CV and renal outcomes in T2D patients with CKD. FIGARO-DKD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, event-driven trial running in 47 countries with an expected duration of approximately 6 years. FIGARO-DKD randomized 7,437 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate >= 25 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio >= 30 to <= 5,000 mg/g). The study has at least 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in the risk of the primary outcome (overall two-sided significance level alpha = 0.05), the composite of time to first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure. Conclusions: FIGARO-DKD will determine whether an optimally treated cohort of T2D patients with CKD at high risk of CV and renal events will experience cardiorenal benefits with the addition of finerenone to their treatment regimen.
