is necessary to understand that leaks are likely to occur in patients with a long duration from symptom onset to presentation or with severe intrathoracic/mediastinal inflammation, and to select an appropriate surgical procedure in consideration of the degree of invasiveness and QOL.In the present study, 2-Arylbenzimidazoline generated in situ…[Read more]

The cluster analysis resulted in five clusters with differences in tinnitus pitch, lateralization, hearing thresholds and MML, as well as on age and gender. Clusters differed in contours of hearing thresholds and MML, describing patterns of low or high thresholds in combination with low or high MML. The clustering solution presented a low…[Read more]

The change trend of the activation energy was followed by an increase and then a decrease corresponding to the change of energy demand for the reaction. The calculated average values of ΔH, ΔG and ΔS were about 207, 447 and -0.3250 kJ/mol, respectively. When the conversion rate was 0.5, the thermodynamic parameters reached their maximum va…[Read more]

mbolization of T2ELs resulted in AAA sac diameter stabilization or reduction in 66% of patients, and up to 72% in isolated T2ELs. Further, increasing Onyx® interventions were not associated with either aneurysm sac stabilization or reduction. Given its similar outcomes to other embolization strategies in the literature, Onyx® embolization for m…[Read more]
