Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.

Iron-based biodegradable stents: impact of surface roughness on mechanical properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Nowadays, coronary permanent stents are used to open clogged arteries. However, after 6 to 12 months, the artery recovered its mechanical properties, and the stent becomes useless.

Complications and Clinical Outcomes Following Modified Endoscopic Denker's With Pyriform Aperture Preservation: A Prospective Analysis

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The modified endoscopic Denker's (MED) approach provides access to all maxillary sinus (MS) walls for resection of various MS and retromaxillary pathologies, but the anteromedial maxilla has historically been resected. This study determined complication rates and outcomes following MED with pyriform aperture (PA) preservation ...

A critical reappraisal of the carotid sinus and carotid bulb: Distinguishing neurohistological function from vascular geometry

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...
