A sustainable ultra-high strength Fe18Mn3Ti maraging steel through controlled solute segregation and α-Mn nanoprecipitation.

The enormous magnitude of 2 billion tons of alloys produced per year demands a change in design philosophy to make materials environmentally, economically, and socially more sustainable. This disqualifies the use of critical elements that are rare or have questionable origin. Amongst the major alloy strengthening mechanisms, a high-dispersion of second-phase precipitates with sizes in the nanometre range is particularly effective for achieving ultra-high strength.

Risk Factors for Recanalization after Coil Embolization.

Unlabelled: The aim of our study was to identify risk factors for recanalization 6 months after coil embolization using clinical data followed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.

Methods: Firstly, clinical data of 184 patients treated with coil embolization were analyzed retrospectively. Secondly, aneurysm models for high/low recanalization risk were generated based on ROC curves and their cut-off points.

The Role of Urine F2-ISOPROSTANE CONcentration in Delayed Cerebral Ischemia after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage-A Poor Prognostic Factor.

The pathophysiology of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) remains unclear. One of the hypotheses suggests that reactive oxygen species play a role in its onset. Thus, we studied F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoPs)-oxidative stress biomarkers.

Predictors for ophthalmic segment aneurysms recanalization after coiling and flow diverter embolization in 6- and 12-month follow-up.

Carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms are indication for endovascular treatment. Coil embolization is associated with a high recanalization rate and thus usage of flow diverter (FD) could constitute the treatment of choice. Although implementation of FD is very effective, it carries a significant risk of complications.

Intracerebral electroencephalography in targeting anterior thalamic nucleus for deep brain stimulation in refractory epilepsy.

Background: Results of DBS of ATN in refractory epilepsy depend on accuracy of the electrode's location. We searched for characteristic intraoperative, intracerebral EEG recording pattern from anterior thalamic nuclei (ATNs) as a biological marker for verifying the electrode's position.

Methods: There were six patients with refractory epilepsy scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure.
