Summary
The short non-patch carotid endarterectomy technique offers favorable midterm outcomes. This method demonstrates low rates of stroke, restenosis, and cranial nerve injuries in patients with carotid artery stenosis.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Cerebrovascular Disease
Background:
- Carotid endarterectomy is a common procedure for carotid artery stenosis.
- Various surgical techniques exist, with ongoing evaluation of their efficacy and safety.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe and evaluate the midterm results of a specific short non-patch arteriotomy technique for carotid endarterectomy.
- To assess the safety and effectiveness of this technique in managing carotid artery stenosis.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy using the short non-patch arteriotomy technique.
- The technique involves a short longitudinal arteriotomy, blunt spatula plaque removal, and semi-eversion in the internal carotid artery.
- Outcomes assessed include mortality, stroke, restenosis, and local complications.
Main Results:
- 436 carotid endarterectomies were performed using the short non-patch technique between 2011-2016.
- In-hospital stroke rate was 0.7%, with complete recovery in all cases.
- Two-year restenosis rate was 1.4%, managed with carotid stenting.
Conclusions:
- The short non-patch carotid endarterectomy technique is associated with low midterm rates of stroke, restenosis, and cranial nerve injuries.
- This technique presents a viable alternative compared to other reported surgical series.

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

01:18Patch Clamp
6.4K
Many fundamental cell functions such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission rely on the electrical signals produced by the movement of positively and negatively charged ions across the cell membrane. One competent method to record current flowing across the whole cell or single ion channel is the patch-clamp technique.
In this method, a glass micropipette containing electrolyte solution is tightly sealed against a small portion of the cell membrane. As a result, a patch of the cell...

Determining the subtransient fault current in a power system involves representing transformers by their leakage reactances, transmission lines by their equivalent series reactances, and synchronous machines as constant voltage sources behind their subtransient reactances. In this analysis, certain elements are excluded, such as winding resistances, series resistances, shunt admittances, delta-Y phase shifts, armature resistance, saturation, saliency, non-rotating impedance loads, and small...

17.6K
Short-distance transport refers to transport that occurs over a distance of just 2-3 cells, crossing the plasma membrane in the process. Small uncharged molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water, can diffuse across the plasma membrane on their own. In contrast, ions and larger molecules require the assistance of transport proteins due to their charge or size. Transport across membranes also occurs within individual cells, playing a variety of essential roles for the plant as a whole.

Conducting a three-phase short circuit test on an unloaded synchronous machine helps understand its impact on the system. The AC fault current's oscillogram, with the DC offset removed, reveals that the waveform amplitude decreases from an initially high value to a steady-state level for one phase of the machine.
This behavior occurs due to the magnetic flux produced by the short-circuit armature currents. Initially, these currents follow high-reluctance paths but eventually shift to...

02:03Anatomy of the Circulatory System
97.8K
The human circulatory system consists of blood, blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart, around the body, and back to the heart, and the heart itself, which acts as a central pump. The systemic circuit supplies blood to the whole body, the coronary circuit supplies blood to the heart, and the pulmonary circuit supplies blood flow between the heart and lungs.
