Revisiting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in cardiovascular disease: Is too much of a good thing always a good thing? by Mohammad Al Zein (20090700)

“…Despite the correlation between low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) and heightened CVD risk, HDL-raising therapies have yet to showcase significant clinical benefits. Furthermore, evidence from epidemiological and genetic studies reveals that not only low HDL-C levels, but also very high levels of HDL-C are linked to increased risk of CVD. …”

Quantitative Compressibility Effects in Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Circular Contacts by Habchi, W.

“…It is also observed that the relative errors on central film thicknesses induced by the use of the Dowson and Higginson relationship for compressibility increase with load and temperature and are very little affected by mean entrainment speed. Compressibility is shown to be a significant source of error in film-derived measurements of pressure-viscosity coefficients especially at high temperature. …”
