Balloon pulmonary angioplasty for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Postepy w kardiologii interwencyjnej = Advances in interventional cardiology, 2015
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease of the pulmonary circulation [1]. The pathogenesis of CTEPH is not entirely clear.

Improving Microcirculation With Nerve Decompression: The Missing Link in Treatment of Diabetic Neuropathy and Diabetic Foot Ulcer

International Wound Journal, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Sympathetic dysfunction in skin is well known in diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This produces dry, cracked, peeling skin susceptible to infection and also epidermal microcirculation insufficiency. Impaired autonomic neurovascular control opens dermal arterio‐venous anastomoses and shunts microcirculation away from the epidermis and impairs ...

Steam balloon concept for lifting rockets to launch altitude [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Launching orbital and suborbital rockets from a high altitude is beneficial because of e.g. nozzle optimisation and reduced drag. Aeroplanes and gas balloons have been used for the purpose. Here we present a concept where a balloon is filled with pure water vapour on ground so that it rises to the launch altitude.

Iliac branch endoprosthesis for endovascular treatment of complex aorto‐iliac aneurysms – from device design to practical experience: how to translate physiology considerations into clinical applications

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 543-549, 1 April 2025.
Abstract This article provides a narrative review of the current literature and our expert opinion concerning the iliac branch endoprosthesis (IBE) and its use in the treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) cases with concomitant aneurysmal involvement of the common iliac artery (CIA) and/or the internal iliac artery (IIA).

Treatment of femoro-popliteal lesions with scoring and drug-coated balloon angioplasty: 12-month results of the DCB-Trak registry

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2018
PURPOSE:Debulking strategies prior to drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty were suggested to improve clinical results in femoro-popliteal lesions. Currently, there are no data regarding plaque modification with a scoring balloon with subsequent DCB ...

Existence theorems for thin inflated wrinkled membranes subjected to a hydrostatic pressure [PDF]

arXiv, 2006
In this paper, we establish rigorous existence theorems for a mathematical model of a thin inflated wrinkled membrane that is subjected to a shape dependent hydrostatic pressure load. We are motivated by the problem of determining the equilibrium shape of a strained high altitude large scientific balloon.

Trajectories of Rubber Balloons used in Balloon Releases: Theory and Application [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
Balloon releases are one of the main attractions of many fairs. Helium filled rubber balloons are released to carry postcards over preferably long distances. Although such balloons have been considered in atmospheric sciences and air safety analysis, there is only scarce literature available on the subject.
