Purpose: To test the following hypotheses: (a) balloon or stent assistance increases coil packing density (CPD) in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms, and (b) CPD correlates to ostium area (OA) and aneurysm volume (AV).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 60 aneurysms (54 ruptured and 6 unruptured) treated with simple coiling (SC) (n = 18), balloon-assisted coiling (BAC) (n = 7), or stent-assisted coiling (SAC) (n = 35) at the authors' institution between August 2017 and December 2019. AV and OA measurements were obtained from 3-dimensional digital subtraction angiography images using commercial software. Coil sizes were retrieved from patient files, and coil volume (CV) measurements were obtained from https://www.angiocalc.com/. Analysis of covariance, multivariate covariance analysis, and Pearson correlation analyses were performed.

Results: The median value for AV, CV, CPD, and OA was 63.4 mm (range, 5.5-1,771.4 mm), 23.13 mm (range, 2.03-296.95 mm), 33.29% (range, 13.41%-81.02%), and 10.7 mm (range, 2.7-49.9 mm), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the CPD values were not significantly different among the treatment groups, although OA significantly differed between the SC and SAC groups (P < .05). Pearson correlations showed that similar to AV, OA was negatively correlated with CPD (r = -0.321, P < .05).

Conclusions: The CPD value in cerebral aneurysms treated with BAC or SAC did not differ from that in aneurysms treated with SC.

The aim of this study was to evaluate patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) for the potential reperfusion of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) treated by catheter embolization using coils or embolization plugs and to analyze causes of possible reperfusion in order to further improve treatment. This retrospective study analyzed the data of 345 patients who underwent screening for pulmonary arteriovenous malformations in cases of suspected or confirmed HHT (Osler's disease). Of these, 118 patients with PAVM that underwent catheter embolization and had at least one follow-up study were included in our study and evaluated for potential reperfusion.

Induction electric field (IEF) technology is a new green treatment technology based on electric field, and its application has not been widely reported, especially in the direction of soybean protein isolate (SPI) modification. Therefore, IEF and several commonly used physical modification methods were used to investigate the effect on the structure and interfacial properties of SPI. The IEF treatment was found to be superior to the other groups in terms of emulsification performance, solubility and flexibility, which were enhanced by 44.

Polyphenols can be used as an amending agent for protein emulsions. The effect of rutin addition on grass carp myofibrillar (GMP) stabilized Pickering emulsions was investigated. With the increase of rutin concentration, the particle size of GMP/rutin decreased (∼3760 nm to ∼279 nm), and the contact angle increased (53.

Background: A Dieulafoy's lesion in the jejunum is at an uncommon site but may be the cause of massive gastrointestinal bleeding. It is characterized by a large, tortuous submucosal artery that erodes the overlying epithelium and presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its atypical location and presentation.

Case: A 30-year-old male presented with sudden onset syncope and the passage of 200-300 ml of red blood-mixed stool.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined the water distribution in both high hydrostatic pressure-gelatinized rice starch (HHGS) and heat-gelatinized rice starch (HGS) at different degrees of gelatinization (DG) ranging from 20% to 100%.
  • - Results showed that hydration led to structural changes in the starch, such as collapsed crystalline lamellae and increased short chains, particularly noted at DG levels of 25% and 50%.
  • - Additionally, LF-NMR analysis determined that as DG increased, water molecules infiltrated HHGS's tighter structure, while the thermal properties differed between HHGS and HGS, with HHGS maintaining its initial gelatinization temperature compared to HGS.
