Grain refinement and improved mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-3Gd alloy by Zr addition by Mohammadreza Maghzi, Hamed Mirzadeh, Reza Mahmudi

“…Results revealed that Zr significantly refined the grain size (d) from 358 μm in the base Mg-3Gd alloy to 23 μm with the addition of 0.8 wt% Zr, which was more pronounced compared to other RE-containing and RE-free alloys. This was attributed to the inoculation effect of α–Zr particles as heterogeneous nucleation sites and high growth restriction factor (GRF) of solute Zr. …”

Application of Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid for the Detection of Pathogens in Pulmonary Infections by Dai X, Xu K, Tong Y, Li J, Dai L, Shi J, Xie H, Chen X

“…Using the clinical diagnosis as references, the positive coincidence rate of the tNGS was significantly higher compared to that of the CTs (P=0.012).Conclusion: Compared to CTs, the application of tNGS enables the identification of a greater diversity of organisms and exhibits superior accuracy, effectively identifying pathogens that are undetectable by CTs, especially fastidious and atypical organisms. Consequently, it holds immense potential in pathogen diagnosis and offers valuable clinical guidance for patients with pulmonary infections.Keywords: bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, targeted next-generation sequencing, pneumonia, pathogen, culture, antimicrobial resistant…”
