Background: Maternal agonistic autoantibodies against the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-AAs) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, but their presence in their offsprings and their possible neonatal effects have not been specifically explored. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the presence of AT1-AAs and their potential clinical effects in neonates of AT1-AAs positive mothers.
Methods: Women with preeclampsia and their neonates were included.
Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a valuable therapeutic alternative for patients with peritoneal metastases. PIPAC uses a hyaluronic acid-based gel to reduce surgically induced adhesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the hyaluronic acid-based gel on tumor dissemination.

In this study, we explored the relationship between histopathological changes and angiographic evolution over time in experimental aneurysms in rabbits treated with the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) procedure.
Methods: Quantitative WSM was assessed using flat-panel computed tomography (FPCT) during follow-up by calculating height and width ratio (HR, WR), defined as the ratio between either measurement at an index time point and the measurement immediately after WEB implantation.
