In this paper, we implement an automatic modeling method for narrow vein type ore bodies based on Boolean combination constraints. Different from the direct interpolation approach, we construct the implicit functions of the hanging wall and foot wall surfaces, respectively. And then the combined implicit function is formed to represent the complete ore body model using the Boolean combination constraints. Finally, the complete ore body is obtained by Boolean operation of the hanging wall and foot wall surfaces. To model complex vein surfaces, some modeling rules are developed to allow the geological engineers to specify vein thickness constraints and vein boundary constraints. The method works for narrow vein type ore bodies (e.g., vein gold deposits and mineral sand deposits) which are large in two dimensions and narrow in the third. Taking the implicit function of radial basis functions interpolation as an example, several experiments are carried out by using the real geological sampling data of the mines. The experimental results show that the method is suitable for the modeling of narrow vein type ore bodies.

Purpose: In totally endoscopic off-pump left atrial appendage (LAA) closure and surgical ablation, securing the operative field is sometimes difficult in some patients because of a narrow working space caused by an elevated diaphragm or ventricles. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a method that facilitates securing the operative field using an artificial pneumothorax.

Methods: We analyzed 71 consecutive patients who underwent totally endoscopic off-pump LAA closure and bilateral pulmonary vein isolation.

Histological differences among thrombi in thrombotic diseases.

Curr Opin Hematol

Department of Pathology, Section of Oncopathology and Morphological Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Miyazaki, Miyazaki, Japan.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to summarize the histological differences among thrombi in acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, venous thromboembolism, and amniotic fluid embolism, a newly identified thrombosis.

Recent Findings: Acute coronary thrombi have a small size, are enriched in platelets and fibrin, and show the presence of fibrin and von Willebrand factor, but not collagen, at plaque rupture sites. Symptomatic deep vein thrombi are large and exhibit various phases of time-dependent histological changes.

Agatston score, the degree of lumen narrowing categorized by CAD-RADS, high-risk atherosclerotic plaque features and pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCAT) are parameters, which can be assessed non-invasively by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and aid risk stratification in patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS). However, few studies have so far compared the prognostic value of all those parameters together. To develop and test the prognostic value of a composite CCTA score, derived from Agatston score, CAD-RADS, high-risk plaques and PCAT in patients undergoing CCTA due to CCS.

Objective: it was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rapamycin-eluting stents at different doses in the treatment of coronary artery narrowing in miniature pigs.

Methods: a total of 20 miniature pigs were randomly assigned into four groups: S1 group (low-dose rapamycin-coated stent, 55 µg/mm), S2 group (medium-dose rapamycin-coated stent, 120 µg/mm), S3 group (high-dose rapamycin-coated stent, 415 µg/mm), and D0 group (bare metal stent). The stent size was 3.

Background: Adrenal Vein Sampling (AVS) is the gold standard for categorizing primary aldosteronism (PA). However, catheterization of the right adrenal vein (RAV) can be technically challenging. This study aimed to investigate the validity of the right renal vertebral contour as fluoroscopic landmarks to help RAV orifice localization during AVS.
