SIMULTANEOUS GREAT SAPHENOUS VEIN ARTERIALIZATION AND DRUG-ELUTING BALLOON VENOUS ANGIOPLASTY IN NO-OPTION CHRONIC LIMB-THREATENING ISCHEMIA: A CASE REPORT

Simultaneous great saphenous vein arterialization and drug-eluting balloon venous angioplasty in no-option chronic limb-threatening ischemia: a case report

In young patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) with inadequate arterial networks for revascularization, unconventional approaches can be justified before a major amputation.We report a case of a young man, with critical ischemia unsuitable for conventional revascularization interventions.Subjected to Common Femoral Artery (CFA) and

Design and analysis of a 3-DOF planar micromanipulation stage with large rotational displacement for micromanipulation system

Flexure-based mechanisms have been widely used for scanning tunneling microscopy, nanoimprint lithography, fast servo tool system and micro/nano manipulation.In this paper, a novel planar micromanipulation stage with large rotational displacement is proposed.The designed monolithic manipulator has Corner Sofa three degrees of freedom (DOF), i.e.two

Regulation of energy homeostasis via GPR120

Free fatty acids (FFAs) are fundamental units of key nutrients.FFAs exert various biological functions, depending on the chain length and degree of desaturation.Recent studies have shown that several FFAs act as ligands of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), activate intracellular signaling and exert physiological functions via these GPCRs.GPR120
