A coil must comprise material with shape memory to perform optimal coil embolization. To achieve this, the alloy characteristics of the coil (hardness, shape, and thickness) must be understood. In this experiment, a catheter was fixed in the bright position and the movement of the coil was observed under a constant rate of insertion; the optimal insertion rate during clinical use was investigated. The first coil insertion speed was evaluated using simulated aneurysms in an in vivo arterial model. The results showed that the insertion force relates to the deployment shape of the coil, that the feedback through the force indicator using sound is very effective, and that the recorder is useful for analysis of coil embolization. The inserted coils during aneurysm embolization were able to wind uniformly within the aneurysm due to a variety of factors (guiding or micro-catheter position and kick-back phenomenon such as delivery wire). Optimal speed is achieved with proper coil design, which allows the coil to be inserted into the aneurysm. The shape and size of the aneurysm can help determine the necessary size and design of the coil that should be used during the optimal speed range. Aneurysm wall and coil characteristics are considered, along with the friction state of the coil (hardness, shape, and thickness), leading to improvements in safety during the insertion procedure at optimum speed.

Hepatic Dearterialization for Nonresectable Liver Tumors in Five Dogs and Two Cats.
J Vet Intern Med

Introduction: Some massive or nodular liver tumors can make surgical resection dangerous. Transarterial embolization and chemoembolization recently have been evaluated in dogs and cats, but multinodular or diffuse tumors make selective embolization difficult, impractical, and may require multiple anesthetic events. Hepatic dearterialization in humans has been shown to be safe and sometimes successful in promoting temporary tumor regression.

Background: Muscle proteins of the obscurin protein family play important roles in sarcomere organization and sarcoplasmic reticulum and T-tubule architecture and function. However, their precise molecular functions and redundancies between protein family members as well as their involvement in cardiac diseases remain to be fully understood.
Methods: To investigate the functional roles of Obsc (obscurin) and its close homolog Obsl1 (obscurin-like 1) in the heart, we generated and analyzed knockout mice for , , as well as double knockouts.
Background: This study investigated the expression and clinical significance of coiled-coil domain containing 12 (CCDC12) in the initial diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Methods: A total of 80 AML patients were enrolled as the experimental group, and 20 normal bone marrow specimens were used as the control group. Clinical data of AML patients were collected.
Stent-Assisted Coil Embolization and Subclavian Artery Stenting via the Radial Approach for Vertebrobasilar Junction Aneurysm Associated with Left Subclavian Artery Occlusion.

Objective: Not many reports of subclavian artery occlusion complicated by vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm have been published, and no cases have been treated using a distal radial approach. Our case report highlights the effectiveness of this approach in comparison to previous findings.
Case Presentation: An 82-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of an enlarged vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm.
Performance enhancement of a shell-and-coil ice storage enclosure for air conditioning using spiral longitudinal fins: A numerical approach.

Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy.
This study carries out a series of complex unsteady three-dimensional (3D) computational analyses that were validated by experimental tests to examine the performance enhancement of a cylindrical shell-and-coil ice storage enclosure by employing various spiral longitudinal fin geometries covering the heat transfer fluid (HTF) tubes throughout the transient process of solid-liquid phase change. The phase change material (PCM) in this work was selected to be water and the tubes and fins were chosen to be made of copper alloy. To study how this type of fin accelerates the charging process, several dimensionless parameters related to the spiral longitudinal fin geometries were defined, which included dimensionless fin length (), count (), and thickness () parameters.
