Background: Endovascular and hybrid procedures are not yet widely established in the management of type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). Open surgery remains the treatment of choice until the long-term outcomes of these novel techniques are known.
Methods: This study reviewed a 10-year experience of open repair of non-ruptured type IV and suprarenal TAAA. All procedures were performed using a totally abdominal approach with supracoeliac clamping of the aorta.
Results: There were 53 patients (31 men; 58 per cent) of median age 69 (range 54-82) years. Forty-four patients had a type IV TAAA and nine a suprarenal aneurysm. Three patients (6 per cent) died within 30 days and the 12-month mortality rate for patients followed for at least 1 year was 6 per cent (three of 49). Ten patients (19 per cent) had a cardiac complication, 20 (38 percent) a respiratory complication, three (6 percent) required early reoperation, and one patient (2 percent) developed permanent paraplegia. There was one late death resulting from an aneurysm-related complication.
Conclusion: Open repair of suprarenal aneurysms and type IV TAAA may be undertaken using a totally abdominal approach with acceptable levels of morbidity and mortality.

Conventional floating bridge systems used during emergency repairs, such as during wartime or after natural disasters, typically rely on passive rubber bearings or semi-active control systems. These methods often limit traffic speed, stability, and safety under dynamic conditions, including varying vehicle loads and fluctuating water levels. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel Hydraulic Self-Adaptive Bearing System (HABS).

LLC resonant converters have emerged as essential components in DC charging station modules, thanks to their outstanding performance attributes such as high power density, efficiency, and compact size. The stability of these converters is crucial for vehicle endurance and passenger experience, making reliability a top priority. However, malfunctions in the switching transistor or current sensor can hinder the converter's ability to maintain a resonant state and stable output voltage, leading to a notable reduction in system efficiency and output capability.

Stent-graft implantation is a widely recognized method for endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms. In cases where the aneurysm involves the thoracic and abdominal aorta, repair including fenestrated and branched stent grafts provides a viable alternative. This approach, initially reserved for patients unsuitable for open surgery, has become preferred for anatomically appropriate thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Unlabelled: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes multiple cerebrovascular disruptions and oxidative stress. These pathological mechanisms are often accompanied by serious impairment of cerebral blood flow autoregulation and neuronal and glial degeneration.
Background/objectives: Multiple biochemical cascades are triggered by brain damage, resulting in reactive oxygen species production alongside blood loss and hypoxia.

Background/objectives: is the pathogenic anaerobe most commonly isolated from intra-abdominal infections, abscesses, and blood. Despite its clinical importance, research on its pan-genome-scale evolution is still limited.
Methods: Herein, we analyzed the pan-genome architecture of 374 strains to explore their intra-species genomic diversity and evolutionary patterns.
