Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the preferred approach over open repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) due to its minimally invasive nature. The common femoral artery (CFA) is the main access vessel for EVAR, with both surgical exposure and percutaneous access being utilized. However, in emergent cases, percutaneous access can be challenging and may result in complications such as bleeding or dissection thrombosis, leading to the need for surgical conversion.

Orthodontic space closure coupled with non-invasive post-orthodontic cosmetic dentistry is a compelling option compatible with optimal function, favourable aesthetics, and periodontal health in the long-term. We present the rationale for space closure and detail contemporary clinical strategies underpinning interdisciplinary treatment planning and excellence in finishing.

- - In patients with end-stage renal failure needing hemodialysis, creating an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is favored over using tunneled dialysis catheters due to lower complications and costs, but AVF maturation failure is a common issue.
- - This study explores the effectiveness of using intraoperative Doppler ultrasound (DUS)-guided Balloon-Assisted Maturation (BAM) with drug-eluting balloons (DEB) to enhance AVF maturation following initial creation, using data from 114 procedures.
- - Results showed that BAM led to successful AVF maturation with minimal early complications, no AVF thrombosis, and an average maturation time of 15 days, highlighting the potential to reduce reinterventions by
The adsorption of oxygen and its reaction with target gases are the basis of the gas detection mechanism by using metal oxides. Here, we present a theoretical analysis of the sensor response, within the ionosorption model, for an n-type polycrystalline semiconductor. Our goal of our work is to reveal the mechanisms of gas sensing from a fundamental point of view.

Case Presentation: Two cases of brachial artery aneurysm treated with bypass (a saphenous vein graft and a PTFE graft). In the first patient no complications were recorded whereas an infection was diagnosed after 6 months from the procedure in the second treatment.
