Coiling and clipping are standard treatment strategies for cerebral aneurysms. Regardless of the strategy used, recanalization may affect the patient's prognosis. The aim of this study was to histologically and morphologically compare the tissue proliferation after coil embolization using bare platinum coils versus second-generation hydrogel coils (HydroSoft/HydroFrame; MicroVention, Inc., Aliso Viejo, CA, USA). Endothelial-like cell proliferation was seen in both groups at 2 weeks after surgery. Macroscopic findings showed a tighter layer at 4 weeks in the hydrogel coil group, and histological and immunohistochemical findings revealed endothelial cell proliferation. This layer became much thicker and tighter at 4 weeks after surgery. Aneurysms treated with second-generation hydrogel coils may be more stable and have a lower incidence of recanalization than those treated with bare platinum coils because of the tight endothelial layer proliferation.

Unlabelled: The emergence of multidrug resistance in pathogenic organisms has caused growing concern, especially among healthcare providers, necessitating the development of new antimicrobial compounds. Resistance to metal nanoparticles is more challenging for any pathogen and thus paved a new avenue of research to formulate a new line of drugs combined with metal nanoparticles to treat microbial resistance. In this present investigation, green synthesised silver (AgNP), gold (AuNP), and platinum (PtNP) nanoparticles using the rind extract of the fruit of Garcinia mangostana L.

Article Synopsis
  • The SMART coil system is a new type of embolic coil used to treat cerebral aneurysms, involving a platinum coil and a detachment mechanism.
  • A study analyzing data from 7 research articles found varying rates of aneurysm occlusion and residuals post-treatment, with a 45% complete occlusion rate and significant long-term success at 66%.
  • Overall, the SMART coil system is suggested to be both safe and effective, with low rates of adverse events compared to other treatment options.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study demonstrates that Pt/Cu alloy nanoparticles on alumina outperform traditional Pt catalysts due to a unique core-shell structure that increases activity, but face challenges with metal diffusion over time.
  • * Introducing cobalt to create trimetallic catalysts stabilizes the structure, maintaining high catalytic activity and improving performance compared to the original Pt/Cu system.

The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a pivotal electrochemical process in water electrolysis, essential for hydrogen production. The efficiency and kinetics of HER are significantly influenced by the choice of catalyst and its support material. In this study, we investigated the effect of carbon supports on palladium (Pd) nanoparticle electrocatalysts synthesized the solution plasma sputtering process for HER.
