SURGICAL TREATMENT OF CERVICAL STENOSIS IN PATIENTS WITH MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDOSIS: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Travmatologiâ i Ortopediâ Rossii, 2018 A multidisciplinary approach to treatment of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis allows to achieve good results. However, progressive spinal canal stenosis at the level of the craniovertebral junction, characteristic of this disease, leads to ...

Numerical modelling of a peripheral arterial stenosis using dimensionally reduced models and kernel methods [PDF]
, 2018 In this work, we consider two kinds of model reduction techniques to simulate blood flow through the largest systemic arteries, where a stenosis is located in a peripheral artery i.e. in an artery that is located far away from the heart. For our simulations we place the stenosis in one of the tibial arteries belonging to the right lower leg (right post

Simulation-Based Design of Bicuspidization of the Aortic Valve [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Objective: Severe congenital aortic valve pathology in the growing patient remains a challenging clinical scenario. Bicuspidization of the diseased aortic valve has proven to be a promising repair technique with acceptable durability. However, most understanding of the procedure is empirical and retrospective.

Commissurotomy for Mitral Stenosis [PDF]
Circulation, 1950 The term "mitral commissurotomy" has been suggested to designate a procedure in which the individual anatomic leaflets of the stenotic mitral valve are surgically separated. By incising the angles or commissures of the mitral slit ("fish-mouth") a considerable degree of valve function can be re-established without the production of additional ...

A Federated Learning Framework for Stenosis Detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This study explores the use of Federated Learning (FL) for stenosis detection in coronary angiography images (CA). Two heterogeneous datasets from two institutions were considered: Dataset 1 includes 1219 images from 200 patients, which we acquired at the Ospedale Riuniti of Ancona (Italy); Dataset 2 includes 7492 sequential images from 90 patients ...
