Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Carotid endarterectomy: The procedure of choice for carotid stenosis

open access: yesIndian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2013
Ischemic stroke is the commonest cause of neurological morbidity and mortality. Carotid endarterectomy has been shown to be beneficial in preventing ischemic strokes in patients with significant stenosis of the carotid artery, both in symptomatic and ...

A vascularis intervenciókat követő restenosis vizsgálata klinikai és kísérletes tanulmányokban [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Restenosis following endovascular interventions is the main limitation of their long-term success. The incidence of restenosis varies according to the method (stenting, endarterectomy) and the treated vascular region, but the pathomechanism and risk ...

Acute carotid stent thrombosis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2018
Carotid artery stenting is a method used in the treatment of extracranial carotid artery stenosis that is becoming increasingly more common. Acute carotid thrombosis following CAS is a very rare and devastating complication that can be lethal for the patient unless treated immediately.

A Soft‐Tip Hydraulically Steerable Catheter for Enhanced Flexibility and Safety in Vascular Interventions

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a hydraulically steerable catheter with a soft tip in vascular procedures. The steering soft tip achieves a minimal diameter of 2.6 mm and supports a 180° bend. Real‐time shape and position tracking, facilitated by segmentation and endpoint detection techniques, improves navigation.

Adjusting for bias introduced by instrumental variable estimation in the Cox Proportional Hazards Model

open access: yes, 2017
Instrumental variable (IV) methods are widely used for estimating average treatment effects in the presence of unmeasured confounders. However, the capability of existing IV procedures, and most notably the two-stage residual inclusion (2SRI) procedure ...

Investigating the flow dynamics in the obstructed and stented ureter by means of a biomimetic artificial model. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Double-J stenting is the most common clinical method employed to restore the upper urinary tract drainage, in the presence of a ureteric obstruction. After implant, stents provide an immediate pain relief by decreasing the pressure in the renal pelvis (P)

Association of Transcarotid Artery Revascularization vs Transfemoral Carotid Artery Stenting With Stroke or Death Among Patients With Carotid Artery Stenosis.

open access: yesJournal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2019
Importance Several trials have observed higher rates of perioperative stroke following transfemoral carotid artery stenting compared with carotid endarterectomy. Transcarotid artery revascularization with flow reversal was recently introduced for carotid

Microendovascular Neural Recording from Cortical and Deep Vessels with High Precision and Minimal Invasiveness

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Intravascular electroencephalography (ivEEG) using micro‐intravascular electrodes was developed. Cortical‐vein ivEEG showed a higher signal‐to‐noise ratio and finer spatial resolution of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) than superior sagittal sinus ivEEG, and deep‐vein ivEEG captured clear visual evoked potentials.
