Passive Aortic Counterpulsation to Reduce Pressure Pulse During Aortic Prosthesis Insertion and Reduce Endoleaks Formation: A Preliminary In Silico Investigation [PDF]
SciOver 10% of patients undergoing aortic endograft implantation experience endoleaks within a few years. In the case of type 1a endoleaks, a crack forms between the aorta and the prosthesis collar, allowing blood to pass.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...
