Lateral Mucosal Flap With Steroid‐Eluting Implant in Revision Draf Type III Frontal Sinus Surgery

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This technical note introduces a novel endoscopic strategy that integrates a laterally based endonasal mucosal flap with a bioabsorbable steroid‐eluting implant to prevent restenosis following revision of Draf type III frontal sinus surgery. The vascularized flap is stabilized and maintained in close apposition to the underlying bone by a self ...

Drug Eluting Stents en Belgique

, 2007
A côté des« stents » métalliques classiques, il y a, depuis quelques années, aussi des stents spéciaux avec médicament incorporé, pour traiter le rétrécissement des artères coronaires : les « drug eluting stents ». Le médicament est supposé empêcher une nouvelle constriction de l’artère. Quelle est l’efficacité de cette nouvelle technique ? A-t-elle un

Mono‐ and Bivalent Poly(iso‐butylene)‐Alanines for Drug‐Delivery of Nimodipine and Triamcinolone Acetonide

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Mono‐ and bivalent‐, alanine‐modified poly‐iso‐butylenes, folding into beta‐sheets, were prepared by living carbocationic polymerization and subsequent endgroup modification. These PIB‐conjugates are useful as solid polymers for the drug release of triamcinolone and nimodipine. ABSTRACT Poly‐iso‐butylene (PIB) is a well known biocompatible polymer with

Inter‐Crystal Spacing of Implantable Polymeric Surfaces as a Key Suppressor of Microbial Adhesion.

Small, EarlyView.
Biofilm formation on implantable devices is addressed by controlling inter‐crystal spacing in shape memory polymers. Repeated shape recovery aligns and enlarges crystalline phases and reduces amorphous regions, enhancing bacterial repellency. Three biofilm‐forming bacteria show reduced adhesion, and a one‐year dog bile‐duct model maintains function ...

Interventional oncology in children: Where are we now?

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Abstract Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in ...

Identification of Hemodynamically Optimal Coronary Stent Designs Based on Vessel Caliber [PDF]

, 2012
Coronary stent design influences local patterns of wall shear stress (WSS) that are associated with neointimal growth, restenosis, and the endothelialization of stent struts.
