Abstract:
The UltiPaq very soft, stretch-resistant coil is a useful new addition to the coil range available to neurointerventionists. Its highly compliant character makes it very suitable for small, ruptured aneurysms, which can easily rerupture during coiling, and for packing the necks of larger aneurysms. It has the advantage of a rapid detachment and does not leave any tail in the parent vessel. The high density of packing achieved in these cases should result in good long-term results, but further follow up is awaited.

Thermal expansion and Thermal stress: Problem Solving
To solve the problem, first, identify the known and unknown quantities. The initial length (L) of the bridge is 1275 m, the coefficient of linear expansion (α) for steel is 12 x 10-6/°C, and the change in temperature (ΔT) is 55 °C.
Electrodes: Overview
There are two main types of electrodes in electrochemical cells. The first type, known as the working or indicator electrode, has a potential that is sensitive to the analyte's concentration and reacts to changes in the...
