Nanoporous metal prepared by the corrosion of an alloy can take the form of monolithic, millimeter-sized bodies containing approximately 1015 nanoscale ligaments per cubic millimeter. Applications have been suggested, for instance in catalysis, sensing and actuation. Although the process of dealloying has seen many studies, the underlying processes remain to be clarified in more detail. Here we...

Introduction NICE Guidance (CG95 and MTG32) recommends FFR-CT for the investigation of stable angina. It acts as a gatekeeper to reduce number patients from undergoing potentially unnecessary invasive coronary angiography(ICA) intervention(PCI) even in presence moderate or significant anatomical disease but normal FFRCT value. Aim Analyse whether Heartflow (HF)has decreased do...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intra-arterial reperfusion therapies are expanding frontiers in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) management but there is considerable variability in clinical practice. The use of general anesthesia (GA) is one example. We aimed to better understand sedation practices in AIS. METHODS An online survey was distributed to the 68 active members of the Society of Vascular and Inte...

Lack of agreement among definitions of COPD, combined with delayed diagnosis in many patients, makes estimates of prevalence difficult. In 2008, 13.1 million U.S. adults (aged 18 and older) were estimated to have COPD, but close to 24 million U.S. adults have evidence of impaired lung function, thus indicating underdiagnosis of COPD. COPD accounted for 1.5 million emergency department (ED) visi...

O computed tomography there was extensive soft-tissue swelling of the cecum with a calcified fecalith (Fig. 2, arrow), which suggested diverticulitis. The patient was treated conservatively with antibiotics, and a few days later underwent a water-soluble contrast enema examination to exclude malignant disease of the cecum. This examination revealed a solitary cecal diverticulum with no evidence...
