In balloon-expandable covered stent (BECS) associated complications after fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR), geometric analysis may determine the cause of failure and influence reintervention strategies. This study retrospectively classifies BECS-associated complications based on computed tomographic angiography (CTA) applied geometric analysis. BECS-associated complications of FEVAR-patients treated in two large vascular centers between 2012 and 2021 were included. The post-FEVAR CTA scans of complicated Advanta V12 BECSs were analyzed geometrically and complications were classified according to its location in the BECS. BECS fractures were classified according to an existing classification system. In 279 FEVAR-patients, 34 out of the 683 included Advanta V12 BECS (5%) presented with a complication. Two Advanta V12 complications occurred during the FEVAR procedure and 32 occurred during follow-up of which five post-FEVAR CTA scans were missing or not suitable for analysis. In the remaining 27 BECSs complications were classified as (endoleaks (n = 8), stenoses (n = 4), occlusions (n = 6), fractures (n = 3), and a combination of complications (n = 6)). All BECSs associated complications after FEVAR with available follow up CTA scans could be classified. Geometric analysis of BECS failure post-FEVAR can help to plan the reintervention strategy.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a specialized metabolite (phytocannabinoid) abundant in Cannabis sativa, is attracting increasing attention for its alleged health-promoting properties. The present study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics of CBD and its primary metabolite, 7-hydroxy-cannabidiol (7-OH-CBD), following a single oral dose of a CBD-rich Cannabis sativa extract, equivalent to 70 mg CBD, in healthy male (n=5) and female (n=6) participants. Using a randomized crossover design, the study evaluated the impact of a standardized high-fat meal compared to fasting on the oral bioavailability of CBD.

Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a comparative pre-clinical evaluation of a new fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair dedicated stent using perfused 3D printed patient anatomies.
Methods: The test setup included a pulsatile pump set to reproduce human haemodynamics, four 3D printed pararenal aneurysms connected to a bench test, and four corresponding fenestrated grafts (Zenith Fenestrated; Cook, Bloomington, IN, USA). Bridging stents were sized based on analysis of patients computed tomography scans and included either four standard covered stents (BeGraft [BG]; Bentley, Hechingen, Germany) or four similar covered stent grafts mounted on a modified balloon to allow stent implantation and flaring in one step (BeFlared [BF]; Bentley).

Purpose: HA121-28, a novel multi-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has dual efficacy against tumor growth and neovascularization. The objectives of this study were to assess the effect of high-fat and high-calorie food on the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and safety of HA121-28 tablet in healthy subjects.
Patients And Methods: A single-dose, randomized, open-label, two-period, crossover-designed phase I clinical trial was conducted.

Metamaterials hold great promise for application in the field of perfect absorbers due to their remarkable ability to manipulate electromagnetic waves. In this work, a full-spectrum ultra-wideband solar absorber with a multilayer metal-dielectric stacked structure is designed. Our absorber is simple and easy to manufacture, with Ti serving as the substrate, overlaid with SiN spacer layers and four pairs of Ti-SiN ring columns.
