Assessment of intraspecific skull variation in the Campanian baenid turtle Plesiobaena antiqua

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Baenids are freshwater paracryptodiran turtles with a fossil record ranging from the Early Cretaceous to the Eocene. The baenid Plesiobaena antiqua is the most common turtle in the Campanian (Late Cretaceous) Dinosaur Park Formation in Canada, but the apparent intraspecific variation remains poorly understood.

The hows and whys—A new teaching model for anatomy learning supported by customized 3D printed models

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The advent of three‐dimensional (3D) printing technology has enabled educators to design customized 3D printed models (3DPMs), but the current literature shows conflicting evidence regarding the impact of 3DPMs on students' knowledge acquisition.

Successful Percutaneous Retrieval of an Embolized MitraClip From the Right Subclavian Artery

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Single leaflet device attachment (SLDA) after mitral transcatheter valve edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) has been reported in up to 5% of patients. However, complete embolization of the M‐TEER device is exceedingly rare. Device retrievals in all previously reported cases were completed by vascular surgery cut down at the end. In this case, we are

Feasibility and Procedural Considerations of Balloon‐Expandable TAVR in Patients With Prior Endovascular Aortic Stent Grafts

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and short‐term outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using balloon‐expandable Sapien valves in patients with prior endovascular aortic stent grafts. Methods We conducted a single‐center, retrospective study of 23 patients with prior endovascular aortic stent grafts who underwent TAVR ...

Emerging Human‐Based Research Technologies for Investigating the Pathomechanisms and Therapies for Vascular Diseases

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is estimated that a large proportion of drug candidates fail in human clinical trials, mainly because animal models cannot fully replicate human disease and because of differential responses to various medications between humans and animals.

A Standardized Technique for Ultrasound–MRI Fusion Imaging of the Carotid Artery for Vascular Assessment

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Purpose To describe a reproducible ultrasound–magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fusion imaging technique developed for quantitative assessment of carotid wall strain and plaque morphology. Methods MRI volumes (Oblique T2 Cube) were imported into the Sequoia ultrasound system equipped with an electromagnetic tracking module.

External ventricular drain as a nontraumatic suction device in carotid endarterectomy

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2017
Carotid endarterectomy is a commonly performed operation to remove plaque at the region of the carotid bifurcation. We present our technique to keep the field clear and to minimize potential trauma to the carotid using a neurosurgical external ...

The Effects of Biologic Agents on Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness and Hepatic Steatosis in Patients With Moderate‐To‐Severe Psoriasis: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
In this prospective observational cohort study, 34 patients with moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis received biologic therapy (anti‐TNF‐α, anti‐IL‐12/23, or anti‐IL‐17) for 6 months. Carotid intima–media thickness decreased significantly in the overall cohort (p < 0.01), with the greatest reductions in the anti‐IL‐17 and anti‐IL‐12/23 groups.
