Background: Evidence regarding drug-coated balloon (DCB)-only angioplasty in de novo lesions of large vessels is still limited and mainly focused on paclitaxel-coated balloon. We aimed to analyze the safety and efficacy of sirolimus-coated balloon (SCB)-only angioplasty in de novo lesions in large vessels compared to drug-eluting stent (DES).
Methods: In this retrospective, dual-center, case-control study, we enrolled all consecutive patients treated between January 2022 and January 2024 with SCB-only angioplasty in de novo lesion in large vessel (> 2.
Lignocellulosic waste, like corn stover (CS), is widely produced and serves as a key feedstock for biofuels and biochemicals. Semi-continuous subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) is an eco-friendly method that breaks down cellulose and hemicellulose bonds. To boost fermentable sugar (FS) yields, steam explosion (SE) pretreatment was tested on CS, achieving a cellulose content of 74.

- Image-guided treatment adaptation using CycleGAN for synthetic CT generation is a significant advancement in particle therapy for young cancer patients.
- The study involved processing CBCT scans from 15 pelvic patients to create synthetic CT images, which were evaluated against verification CT scans for quality.
- Results showed that despite some limitations, the CycleGAN method produced satisfactory synthetic CT images that could improve treatment efficacy in pediatric oncology.
