Endovascular repair of bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms using GORE Excluder iliac branch endoprosthesis without aortobi-iliac stent graft conjunction

INTRODUCTION Bilateral common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysm (CIAA) is a rare entity. In the past decade, different endovascular approaches have been adopted for patients with several comorbidities or unfit for open repair (OR). Recently, the use of iliac branch stent graft has been proposed, resulting in satisfactory patency rates and decrease in morbidity. Currently, according to instruction for...

Risk Assessment of Clinical Care in Emergency Departments ByHealth Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Introduction: Medical errors are among significant health system problems. The best method to detect errors is to identify the root and systemic causes of errors. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the failures of clinical care in emergency departments using the Healthcare Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (HFMEA). Materials and Methods: This was an analytical and cross-sectional stu...

Nano-electromechanical Devices Robust Carbon-Nanotube-Based Nano-electromechanical Devices: Understanding and Eliminating Prevalent Failure Modes Using Alternative Electrode Materials

The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS [ 1 ] ) identifi es emerging technologies with the potential to sustain Moore’s Law. A necessary succession from planar CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductors) to nonplanar/dual-gate CMOS, and ultimately to novel architectures such as carbon nanotube (CNT)-based nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS) is envisioned. The ITRS al...

Failure Modes of Laminate Structures

Laminate structures composed of alternating thin layers of conductor and dielectric material are commonly used in energy storage and transmission components. The failure of the dielectric layers in regions of high field stress, with applied 60 Hz ac, de and impulse voltages, was studied. Several geometries were compared, including staggered and fiush edges. Electrical trees developed between th...
