Purpose: This study aims to investigate the indications and therapeutic efficacy of flow-diverting stents (FDSs) in the management of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAAs) and dissections.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 18 patients treated for ECAAs with an FDS between 2010 and 2024. Patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, procedural details, and clinical and radiologic follow-up outcomes were extracted from medical records.

The number of solvent molecules present in the system during molecular dynamics is the balancing act between the need to remove the boundary effects present in the system and the computational cost. Application of the telescopic-solvation box scheme during the estimation of the potential of mean force (PMF) can be advantageous in situations where the contribution of solvent far from the site of interest toward the whole PMF is negligible, as previously demonstrated in the case of adaptive steered molecular dynamics and umbrella sampling. This work explores the application of the telescopic-solvation box scheme during enhanced sampling by the stratified adaptive biasing force (ABF) family of methods, including ABF, extended ABF, well-tempered-metadynamics extended ABF, and multiwalker extended ABF.

Background: Access to the renal calyx is a challenging and crucial step for a successful percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). There are different methods of access tract dilatation, and there is no consensus on which method is the best. We conducted a comparative retrospective study on the safety and efficacy of the Alken metallic dilator and Amplatz dilator for renal access in PCNL.

Since placebo and nocebo-responses during acupuncture therapy are rarely studied in clinical contexts, the objective was to investigate placebo and nocebo-responses in a clinical context through comparing positive and negative side-effects between genuine and sham acupuncture, and to identify factors modifying placebo and nocebo-responses. Patients reported positive side-effects (non-intended positive effects) or negative side-effects (non-intended negative effects) of genuine (penetrating; n = 109) or sham (telescopic non-penetrating; n = 106) acupuncture during 5 weeks of chemoradiation for cancer. The genuine and the sham acupuncture group reported rather similar frequencies of positive -values .
