Abstract Background The presence of calcium in atherosclerotic plaques is a challenge for successful angioplasty and an independent risk factor restenosis stent thrombosis. Despite conventional tools (non-compliant, scoring cutting balloons rotational atherectomy), cracking can still be challenging incomplete. Intra-vascular lithotripsy (IVL) has shown promising results, although long-term data...

Big data processing systems often employ batched updates and sketches to estimate certain properties of large data. For example, a CountMin sketch approximates the frequencies at which elements occur in stream, counter counts events batches. This paper focuses on correctness criteria for concurrent implementations such objects. Specifically, we consider quantitative objects, whose return values...

MR imaging data were reviewed retrospectively in four male patients (32 to 74 years old) with histologically confirmed intravascular lymphomatosis (IVL), a rare, aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. MR findings included infarct-like lesions (n = 2), focal parenchymal enhancement (n = 3), dural/arachnoid enhancement (n = 2), and, in one case, nonspecific, patchy foci of increased signal in t...

The clonal propagation of T. cacao by somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a promising approach to multiply elite genotypes. Assessing fidelity in plants regenerated from embryos the first step toward ensuring genetic uniformity mass production planting material. This study assessed stability plantlets propagated SE and conventional grafting for genotypes CCN51 TSH565 using 13 SSR. leaves vitro (IVL) ...

Abstract Background Little is known about intraprocedural and mid–term results of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) use in patients with acute MI. Methods In Our retrospective analysis, data from 21 Centers Italy Spain between January 2020 November 2021 were collected. Patients allocated to the AMI–group when IVL was performed during an Primary safety endpoint defined as freedom major adverse car...

Hostile-access vessel anatomy represents a critical issue in advanced endovascular treatment of complex aortic diseases. The purpose this study is to compare early outcomes surgical iliac conduit vs intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) the management challenging arteries during aneurysm repair (EVAR). All patients who underwent EVAR for disease with access vessels (angulation >90°, circumferential c...

A single arm Msller polarimeter used to measure the longitudinal beam polarization of the 48GeV electron beam for SLAC fixed target experiment E-154 is described. The polarimeter utilizes an array of silicon strip detectors and a dipole magnetic spectrometer to detect Msller scattered electrons from magnetized Fe-Co alloy target foils. The details of the foil pol~ization measu~ments and analysi...

Infantile Mediterranean visceral leishmaniasis (IVL) and anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) have long been known to exist in the western and southeastern Turkey, respectively. To further study these and other related diseases, a recombinant antigen (rK39) specific to VL was used in an ELISA for serodiagnosis of selected patients and for screening dog reservoir populations in several en...

Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is involved in the development and progression of various types of cancers. In this study, we investigated the role of miR-331-3p in cell proliferation and the expression of keratinocyte differentiation markers of uterine cervical cancer cells. Moreover, we evaluated whether neuropilin 2 (NRP2) are putative target molecules that regulate the human papil...
