High-flow pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysms secondary to celiac trunk occlusion or stenosis have a high risk of rupture. Embolization offers a less invasive alternative to surgery. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of retrograde embolization via the superior mesenteric artery of high-flow PDA aneurysms without celiac trunk revascularization.

Spent coffee grounds (SCGs) have great potential as a useful, value-added biological material. In this context, activated carbon (AC) was prepared from SCGs by an activation process using HPO at 600 °C in the air and used as an adsorbent for the azo dye AO7, a model molecule for dye colorants found in textile industry effluents. X-ray diffraction, SEM and BET revealed that the AC was predominantly amorphous, consisting of a powder of 20-100 µm particles with mesopores averaging 5.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the effectiveness of MRI compared to CT scans for pre-surgical imaging of neurogenic heterotopic ossification (NHO) in the hip, which is a common issue following spinal cord injuries.
  • It involved 24 patients who had both CT angiography and MRI, with a focus on evaluating the characteristics of NHO and their proximity to important anatomical structures.
  • The results showed strong agreement between MRI and CT for various assessments, particularly in identifying relationships with major vessels and nerves, with MRI proving superior for visualizing certain nerves.

Composite flat membranes were prepared using a dry uniaxial pressing process. The effect of the sintering temperature (850-950 °C) and smectite proportion (10-50 wt.%) on membrane properties, such as microstructure, mechanical strength, water permeability, and treatment performances, was explored.

Vocalizations are pivotal in mammalian communication, especially in humans. Rodents accordingly rely on ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) that reflect their internal state as a primary channel during social interactions. However, attributing vocalizations to specific individuals remains challenging, impeding internal state assessment.
