Insights

Transcatheter arterial embolization effectively treats bleeding after kidney procedures. This safe method preserves kidney function, with high success rates and minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Nephrology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Percutaneous renal procedures can lead to significant bleeding.
  • Timely intervention is crucial for managing post-procedural hemorrhage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for active bleeding post-percutaneous renal procedures.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of TAE in preserving renal function.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 79 patients undergoing angiography for percutaneous renal procedure-related bleeding.
  • TAE performed for identified bleeding foci or empirically.
  • Analysis of technical and clinical success rates, complications, and renal function (eGFR).

Main Results:

  • Angiography revealed bleeding in 81% of patients; all underwent TAE.
  • Technical success rate was 100% for identified bleeding.
  • Clinical success rate was 85.7%, with repeat TAE achieving recovery in all failures.
  • No significant difference in eGFR post-TAE; no major complications reported.

Conclusions:

  • Transcatheter arterial embolization is a safe and effective treatment for percutaneous renal procedure-related bleeding.
  • TAE does not lead to renal function deterioration.

Bleeding in Fresh Concrete01:22

Bleeding in Fresh Concrete

Bleeding in fresh concrete occurs when water from the mix rises to the surface. This happens because the mix's solid components fail to retain all the water as they settle, leading to separation where water collects at the top. The severity of bleeding can be measured by assessing the total settlement or by noting the decrease in height per unit height of concrete.
Bleeding can cause several issues in the concrete structure. Sometimes, the rising water gets trapped beneath large aggregate...

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity (COG) of an object is the point where the object's total weight is considered to be concentrated. Knowing the location of the center of gravity is useful when predicting the behavior of a moving object or designing static structures. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is similar to the center of mass (COM); yet, these two points can be positioned differently. For example, the Moon's center of mass lies very close to its geometric center, but...

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity is the point at which an object's weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly. This point is essential in mechanics as it provides information regarding a body's stability and moments of inertia. The center of gravity does not always have to fall within the shape or boundaries of the body; it may also lie outside the body in certain cases.
To determine its location, the principle of moments can be utilized by dividing the object into...

Center of Mass

The center of mass is the point at which the total mass of an object can be said to be concentrated. It is a fundamental principle in mechanics and physics that applies to all objects regardless of their shape or size. The center of gravity is the point at which an object’s weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly.
The knowledge of the center of mass can also help us to describe and predict the motion of objects. For example, when a ball is thrown...

What is an Experiment?01:12

What is an Experiment?

An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...
