What Is the Added Value of Carotid CEUS in the Characterization of Atherosclerotic Plaque?

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Unstable atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries is one of the main risk factors for cerebral ischemia. Duplex ultrasound is a frequently used diagnostic method, but it has some limitations for microvascularization and ...

Pressure‐Assisted Drug Delivery Using High‐Pressure Balloon Platform Improves Vascular Drug Penetration and Anti‐Restenotic Effects

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐layer high‐pressure drug‐coated balloon (HP@DCB) increased balloon‐wall contact and promoted deeper paclitaxel (PTX) penetration than a conventional noncompliant DCB. In in vivo study, HP@DCB treatment improved luminal patency and reduced neointimal hyperplasia, supporting pressure‐assisted drug delivery as a promising strategy for enhancing the

Optimal cut-off criteria for duplex ultrasound for the diagnosis of restenosis in stented carotid arteries: Review and protocol for a diagnostic study [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Carotid angioplasty with stenting is a relatively new, increasingly used, less-invasive treatment for the treatment of symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. It is being evaluated in ongoing and nearly finished randomized trials.

Magnetoactive Hydrogels to Probe Curvature‐Directed Endothelial Cell Mechanosensing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work establishes a platform to investigate local curvature as a regulator of endothelial mechanosensing independent of shear stress. Magnetoactive hydrogels enable on‐demand curvature of endothelial monolayers to reproduce tortuosity quantified by clinically established metrics.

Pyloric stenosis [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Anaesthesia, 1991
Infantile pyloric stenosis is the most frequently encountered infant gastrointestinal obstruction in most general hospitals. Although the primary therapy for pyloric stenosis is surgical, it is essential to realize that pyloric stenosis is a medical and not a surgical emergency.

Extrusion‐Based Bioprinting of Living Bioinks for Tissue and Organ Engineering

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Extrusion‐based bioprinting is presented as the most versatile route for fabricating living, heterogeneous tissues. Its ability to combine diverse bioinks, support matrices, and advanced printhead geometries transforms familiar constraints into powerful biofabrication opportunities.

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these
