Objective: To report a novel endovascular coiling technique for ligation of aneurysms presenting with cranial neuropathy.
Methods: We describe three patients (all female, median age: 57) presenting with unruptured, mass effect producing, aneurysms. All three were treated with coiling of the aneurysm inflow zone without deploying coils in the dome or fundus. Their clinical manifestations, the radiologic features of the aneurysms, and details of endovascular inflow zone ligation are presented.
Results: Clinical and radiological improvement was seen in all three patients after 6-12 months follow-up.
Conclusion: This technique may be considered in patients presenting with compressive cranial neuropathy and an aneurysm configuration that allows selective coiling of the inflow zone.

Applicability of reconstruction of temporal changes in 137Cs concentrations in pond water based on the vertical distribution of bottom sediments: a case in three ponds in the Fukushima evacuation zone.

Long-term changes in particulate and dissolved 137Cs concentrations in rivers and dam reservoirs have been reconstructed using 137Cs depth distributions in bottom sediments near Chornobyl and Fukushima. However, few studies have applied this method to pond water. This study tested the applicability of this reconstruction method in ponds within the Fukushima evacuation zone.

The mechanisms leading to aneurysm occlusion after treatment with flow-diverting devices are not fully understood. Flow modification induces thrombus formation within the aneurysm cavity, but fibrin can simultaneously accumulate and cover the device scaffold, leading to further flow modification. However, the interplay and relative importance of these processes are not clearly understood.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
From source to sink: part 2-seasonal dispersion of microplastics discharged in the NW Mediterranean Sea by the Rhone River in southern France.

As the largest individual contributor of freshwater inflow to the basin, the Rhone River is likely to be one of the main sources of microplastics (MPs) to the Mediterranean Sea. In order to predict the fate of MPs discharged by the Rhone River, an innovative 3D Lagrangian dispersion of its particles associated with vertical velocities was modeled in Mediterranean ocean currents. Through winter and summer scenarios, the seasonal variability of transfers and the corresponding accumulation areas were depicted in the Northwestern Basin according to hydrodynamic conditions on the continental shelf of the Gulf of Lion and to the frontal dynamics from the Pyrenees to the North Balearic fronts.

Quantitative analysis of the impact of NPS pollution on water quality constitutes the key to preventing and controlling water pollution. However, currently, there is a dearth of research on identifying NPS pollution risks and exploring their relationship with water quality based on the Minimum Cumulative Resistance (MCR) model in the plateau lake basins of central Yunnan.
