Article Synopsis
- The Lumi-Solve photo-angioplasty drug eluting balloon catheter (DEBc) aims to improve safety over existing DEBc by exploring alternatives to fibre-optic delivery through the guidewire port, which may hinder effectiveness.
- The study analyzed the impact of guidewire shadowing on light transmission and tested new designs for intra-balloon fibre-optic ports using modified balloons and translucent tubing.
- Results showed that standard configurations reduced light intensity and drug activation, while new spiral designs significantly improved UV light transmission, suggesting that a separate port may be necessary for better results.
Preliminary evidence suggests efficacy of yoga as add-on treatment for schizophrenia, but the underlying mechanism by which yoga improves the symptoms of schizophrenia is not completely understood. Yoga improves self-reflection in healthy individuals, and self-reflection abnormalities are typically seen in schizophrenia. However, whether yoga treatment improves impairments in self-reflection typically seen in patients with schizophrenia is not examined.
