Impact of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on Thrombomodulin Concentration and Early Markers of Atherosclerosis by Hasan Elkan, Mehmet Memduh Baş, Berna Kaya

“…The change in thrombomodulin concentration (Δ TMD) was significantly correlated with the change in Δ BMI (r = 0.500, p=0.011), Δ LDL (r = 0.389, p=0.032), Δ systolic blood pressure (r = 0.384, p=0.012), and Δ CIMT (r = 0.327, p=0.012) and was negatively correlated with Δ HDL (r = −0.344, p=0.020) and Δ ABI (r = −0.357, p=0.020). Conclusion. LSG leads to significant improvements in blood lipids, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and in surrogate markers of atherosclerotic burden and endothelial function, including thrombomodulin, ABI, and CIMT, at postoperative six months. …”

Effect of notch shape on the fracture toughness behavior by Jiseung Lee, Wonjun Jo, Junseok Seo, Gyubaek An

“…The results revealed that as the notch radius increased, the degree of stress concentration decreased, leading to an increase in fracture toughness. In temperature-dependent tests, CTOD values consistently decreased as the temperature decreased, with EDM notches exhibiting a lower rate of fracture toughness reduction compared to fatigue pre-cracks, which is attributed to differences in the degree of stress concentration. …”
