Endothelial Progenitor Cells for Diagnosis and Prognosis in Cardiovascular Disease by Caterina Oriana Aragona, Egidio Imbalzano, Federica Mamone, Valentina Cairo, Alberto Lo Gullo, Angela D’Ascola, Maria Adriana Sardo, Michele Scuruchi, Giorgio Basile, Antonino Saitta, Giuseppe Mandraffino

“…EPCs showed an important role in identifying cardiovascular risk conditions, and to suggest their evaluation as predictor of outcomes appears to be reasonable in different defined clinical settings. Due to their capability of proliferation, circulation, and the development of functional progeny, great interest has been directed to therapeutic use of progenitor cells in atherosclerotic diseases. …”

Effect of Alternating Magnetic Field Treatment on the Friction/Wear Resistance of 20Cr2Ni4A Under Lubricated Conditions by Sufyan Akram, Mose Bevilacqua, Anatolii Babutskyi, Andreas Chrysanthou

“…The significance of this study is that the improvement in the properties was achieved at a current density value that was two orders of magnitude higher than the threshold for phase transformation and dislocation movement. The reasons for the effect of the alternating magnetic field treatment on the friction and wear properties are discussed in terms of the contribution of the magnetic field to the austenite-to-martensite phase transformation and the interaction between the magnetic domain walls and dislocations.…”
