BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To describe the results of transvenous embolizations of cavernous dural arteriovenous fistua (cDAVF) with an emphasis on identifying the incidence, characteristics, and management strategies associated with the complications of transvenous embolization of cDAVFs. METHODS: Fifty-six consecutive patients who were treated by transvenous embolization for cDAVFs were reviewed. The approach routes, angiographic results, complications, and clinical outcome were assessed. RESULTS

The rhBMP-2 clearly up-regulated mRNA expression of chondrogenic components and also stimulated proteoglycan synthesis without expression of osteogenic phenotype. Taken together, this study raise the possibility of rhBMP-2 can be anabolic agent for regenerating matrix of intervertebral disc.

The rate of PEEK cage subsidence after MITLIF was relatively low. End-plate manipulation and cage insertion during MITLIF were not influenced by a small operation window.

This study reports a low‐temperature processable, resistive switching (RS) device based on an inorganic–organic hybrid perovskite, i.e., methylammonium lead iodide (CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 or MAPbI 3 ) via a fast deposition–crystallization method, as the multifunctional insulator layer to form metal/insulator/metal structure in which Al and p + ‐Si wafer are used as the top and the bottom metal electrodes, respectively. The MAPbI 3 ‐RS device shows acceptable RS characteristics with a switching window o

Although many studies have reported an association between total white blood cell count and metabolic syndrome, relatively few reports are available on the association between differential white blood cell counts and metabolic syndrome. The medical records of 15,654 subjects (age, median 46, range 14-90 yr; 8,380 men and 7,274 women) who visited the Center for Health Promotion were investigated. It was found that as total white blood cell (WBC) and differential WBC counts increased the frequenci

A highly sensitive and stable [Ru(bpy)3]2+ ECL sensor has been fabricated based on the multilayer films of Nafion-stabilized magnetic nanoparticles (Nafion/Fe3O4) formed on a platinum electrode surface by means of an external magnet.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The natural history of symptomatic, untreated posterior circulation stenosis is dismal, with many patients experiencing significant morbidity or mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and results of stent-assisted angioplasty of symptomatic intracranial vertebrobasilar artery stenosis. METHODS: We reviewed the imaging findings and medical records of 17 consecutive patients who were treated with stent-assisted angioplasty for medically refract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Dural arteriovenous shunt (DAVS) is a disease in which abnormal arteriovenous communications develop within the dura. Some case series have suggested DAVS may evolve over time, but the natural history is poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to define the incidence and clinical characteristics of patients with DAVS showing spontaneous angiographic pattern conversion. METHODS: We assessed clinical and angiographic features of patients with angiographic conversion with
