Proximal embolic protection with aspiration in percutaneous coronary intervention using the Proxis device

Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2007
Distal embolization during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) occurs in at least 15% of patients and is a strong predictor of more extensive myocardial damage and a poor prognosis. Several devices are designed to evacuate the intracoronary thrombus or to prevent distal embolization.

Linearizing and Forecasting: A Reservoir Computing Route to Digital Twins of the Brain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A new approach uses simple neural networks to create digital twins of brain activity, capturing how different patterns unfold over time. The method generates and recovers key dynamics even from noisy data. When applied to fMRI, it predicts brain signals and reveals distinctive activity patterns across regions and individuals, opening possibilities for ...

Discovery of an Adaptive Neuroimmune Response Driving Itch and Fast Tick Removal with Implications for Preventing Pathogen Transmission

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Doehl et al. discovered an adaptive neuroimmune mechanism that induces itch in tick‐exposed guinea pigs, enabling rapid tick removal. This itch‐induced tick removal (IITR) is mediated by an adaptive cellular immune response and is independent of IgG, IgE, or TRPV1.
