Technique modifications for septodermoplasty: an illustrative case.

BACKGROUND Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disease that results in telangiectasia of the sinonasal tract, gastro-intestinal tract as well as possible arteriovenous malformations of the lung, liver and brain. One of the most common disease manifestations of HHT is epistaxis. Severe recurrent epistaxis necessitating iron therapy and blood transfusion is often ...

Stiff guide technique: technical report and illustrative case.

Endovascular techniques are gaining wider acceptance in the treatment of intracranial lesions. Tortuous vasculature is a common reason for failure to treat an intracranial lesion, especially when balloon catheters or stents are used. In these cases, the guiding catheter often buckles into the aorta during an attempt to place the balloon or stent. In our experience, a stiff wire can be used to s...

Varieties of concretisation: an illustrative case study

This paper illustrates, compares and contrasts a variety of different constructions that can be viewed as serving a role in concretisation – the process of developing concrete artefacts to support a learner in understanding abstract concepts. Our illustrative examples are based around the theme of introducing simple number-theoretic notions by representing operations on integers by actual or si...
