- Background: Peripheral artery disease is a growing public health problem. We aimed to estimate the global disease burden of peripheral artery disease, its risk factors, and temporospatial trends to inform policy and public measures.Methods: Data on peripheral artery disease were modelled using the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 database. Prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and mortality estimates of peripheral artery disease were extracted from GBD 2019. Total DALYs and age-standardised DALY rate of peripheral artery disease attributed to modifiable risk factors were also assessed.Findings: In 2019, the number of people aged 40 years and older with peripheral artery disease was 113 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 99 center dot 2-128 center dot 4), with a global prevalence of 1 center dot 52% (95% UI 1 center dot 33-1 center dot 72), of which 42 center dot 6% was in countries with low to middle Socio-demographic Index (SDI). The global prevalence of peripheral artery disease was higher in older people, (14 center dot 91% [12 center dot 41-17 center dot 87] in those aged 80-84 years), and was generally higher in females than in males. Globally, the total number of DALYs attributable to modifiable risk factors in 2019 accounted for 69 center dot 4% (64 center dot 2-74 center dot 3) of total peripheral artery disease DALYs. The prevalence of peripheral artery disease was highest in countries with high SDI and lowest in countries with low SDI, whereas DALY and mortality rates showed U-shaped curves, with the highest burden in the high and low SDI quintiles.Interpretation: The total number of people with peripheral artery disease has increased globally from 1990 to 2019. Despite the lower prevalence of peripheral artery disease in males and low-income countries, these groups showed similar DALY rates to females and higher-income countries, highlighting disproportionate burden in these groups. Modifiable risk factors were responsible for around 70% of the global peripheral artery disease burden. Public measures could mitigate the burden of peripheral artery disease by modifying risk factors.

- In recent times, the boom in electric vehicle (EV) is increasing due to the development of highly efficient power converters and to reduce the fossil fuel dependency. Hence, the progress in both electric and hybrid vehicles are rising. However, the safety become an issue in EVs for operating at high voltage level. Therefore, the application of the low voltage motor in EVs is proposed. This helps to increase the safety in the vehicle and reliability of the system. The proposed voltage for such low voltage motor drives is 48V. This voltage level is also beneficial for integration of battery and ultra-capacitors (UCs). This paper proposes the state of art of designing power converters for low voltage motor drives. Additionally, a novel bi-directional DC-DC converter with reconfigurable transformer is proposed for driving low voltage motors. The proposed bi-directional converter can operate with wide input (12V-4SV) and wide output voltage (1.5V-24V) ranges for power level of 1. 2kW. Analysis of this system and operating principle of the novel converter are also included for different output voltage and current levels. The presence of UCs in the system helps to improve the control response required during accelerating and braking. The simulation results of the system are included in the paper for different voltage and speed levels. The preliminary experiment result is included in the paper.

- This paper presents a new grid-connected multilevel boost converter topology. The proposed multilevel boost converter includes several switched-capacitor units along with a developed H-bridge. The capability of voltage boosting, inherent voltage balancing of capacitors, reduction of power electronic elements, and voltage on switches are the merits of proposed topology compared to other topologies. All required mathematical analysis related to the suggested topology is presented. The proposed topology is verified by experimental results for grid-connected applications using model predictive controller.
