Dermabrasion and wire loop electrocautery are controlled scalpel-less procedures to remove superficial skin layers to treat dermal surface irregularities. Their postprocedure healing involves healing by secondary intention. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of diamond fraise dermabrasion to improve scars and the use of wire loop electrocautery to treat rhinophyma surface irregularities. Both techniques are minimally invasive and low cost, and at the same time, can significantly improve facial skin deformities. An advantage in using wire loop electrocautery for rhinophyma excision is that it is a simple, economic, and very effective technique to sculpt the nose, with minimal intraoperative bleeding. With dermabrasion, pretreatment and postregimens can help improve postprocedure results. Future efforts to modulate the healing from both of these techniques include the potential use of topical growth factors, autologous platelet-rich plasma, or using stem cells to accelerate collagen formation and reepithelization during the postprocedure period.

Iatrogenic Type A Aortic Dissection Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Iatrogenic type A aortic dissection (IAAD) is a rare but life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often presenting significant therapeutic challenges. A looped guidewire between the right subclavian artery and brachiocephalic artery during coronary angiography (CAG) via right radial artery access can complicate catheter manipulation. This report discusses the case of a 58-year-old hypertensive female patient who developed aortic dissection during PCI, specifically due to wire manipulation at the brachiocephalic loop.

Considering the fault tolerance of EMB (Electro-Mechanical-Brake) braking failure and anti-rollover control at the same time is one of the urgent problems to be solved in the driving safety of X-by-wire vehicles. Accurate rollover index is a key part of anti-rollover control. Aiming at the problem that the traditional rollover index reflects that the unsprung mass of the vehicle is insufficiently affected by road excitation, a tripped vehicle rollover dynamic model is established based on single-wheel braking failure, and a rollover evaluation index NLTR (New Load-Transfer-Rate) suitable for braking failure is proposed.

Department of Vascular Surgery, University Hospital Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany.
Purpose: To demonstrate the Modified Balloon Nose Cone Technique to avoid passage of the aortic valve in endovascular branched arch repair.
Technique: The technique is demonstrated in a 54-year-old patient after previous open repair of the ascending aorta and mechanical aortic valve replacement due to type A aortic dissection. The delivery system of a custom-made stent-graft with 3 inner branches was modified by subtotally sawing off its nose cone.

Background: Chronic total occlusions with ambiguous proximal caps present a significant challenge in endovascular interventions of patients with Buerger's disease.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of transpedal retrograde wire just marker technique in patients with Buerger's disease presenting proximal cap ambiguity and flush occlusions.
Methods: Seventeen patients with the diagnosis of Buerger's disease who had below the knee artery chronic total occlusions with ambiguous proximal caps were enrolled.
Variable boost characteristic control strategy of hydraulic systems for brake-by-wire based on driving style.

This paper proposes a control strategy for the variable boost characteristics of electronic hydraulic brake (EHB) systems based on the driving style in response to the nonlinear challenges faced by the EHB systems in intelligent driving under complex personalized requirements. Initially, the working principle of the active braking of the EHB-booster was analyzed, and equivalent dynamic models and Karnopp friction models were established. Subsequently, by identifying the displacement and velocity parameters of the brake pedal, three types of variable boost characteristics-sporty, comfortable, and standard-were designed to satisfy the requirements of different driving styles.
