CONNECTING ATRIAL FIBRILLATION TO DIGESTIVE NEOPLASMS: EXPLORING MEDIATION VIA ISCHEMIC STROKE AND HEART FAILURE IN MENDELIAN RANDOMIZATION STUDIES

Connecting atrial fibrillation to digestive neoplasms: exploring mediation via ischemic stroke and heart failure in Mendelian randomization studies

BackgroundNotwithstanding the acknowledged interplay between atrial fibrillation (AF) and the emergence of digestive system neoplasms, the intricacies of this relationship remain ambiguous.By capitalizing univariable Mendelian Randomization (MR) complemented by a mediated MR tactic, our pursuit was to elucidate the causative roles of AF in precipit

Analytical and Numerical Study of the Axial Stiffness of Fiber-Reinforced Elastomeric Isolators (FREIs) under Combined Axial and Shear Loads

Fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) are rubber-based seismic devices introduced as a low-cost alternative to steel-reinforced elastomeric isolators (SREIs).They are generally used in unbonded applications, i.e., friction is used to transfer the lateral loads from the upper to the lower structure.Under combined axial and shear loads, the
