PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the deliverability, positioning, stability, and effectiveness of aneurysm occlusion and the incidence of parent-artery thrombosis of two different types of platinum coils, using a canine carotid aneurysm model. METHODS 29 experimental canine carotid aneurysms (19 lateral, 6 bifurcation, and 4 terminal) were constructed and treated with complex-shaped fibered pl...

OBJECTIVE Based on the use of Nano™ coils, we retrospectively compared the proportion of the coils (≤ 1.5 mm) and packing density in two patient groups with small cerebral aneurysms (< 4 mm diameter) who were treated with or without Nano™ coils. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2012 and November 2013, in 548 cerebral aneurysms treated by endovascular coiling, 143 patients with 148 small ...

A new multidimensional scoring approach for identifying and distinguishing trimeric and dimeric coiled coils is implemented in the MultiCoil program. The program extends the two-stranded coiled-coil prediction program PairCoil to the identification of three-stranded coiled coils. The computations are based upon data gathered from a three-stranded coiled-coil database comprising 6,319 amino acid...

Thirteen patients underwent transcatheter closure of coronary artery fistulas using interlocking detachable coils alone or combined with fibered coils. Complete occlusion was achieved in 92% of patients; although inadvertent embolization of coils occurred in 23% of patients, all these coils were easily retrieved using snares.

which describes stationary reaction-diffusion phenomena but is often also called Helmholtz equation in certain communities. For example in meteorology, the early seminal papers [48, 56] led an entire community to call equations of the form (2) Helmholtz equations, see for example [14]. Even standard texts in applied mathematics now sometimes use the term Helmholtz equation for both (1) and (2),...

In the design of rotary compressor, Helmholtz resonator is always used in the discharge port of cylinder to reduce noise. The effect of Helmholtz resonator on the discharge port is restricted because of the narrow frequency band of Helmholtz resonator. In this paper, multi-Helmholtz resonator on the top-flange is used to reduce the discharge noise of different frequency bands, which does not ch...

In the second volume of the Handbuch der physiologischen Optik, published in 1860, Helmholtz sets out a three-receptor theory of color vision using coterminal response curves, and shows that this theory can unify most phenomena of color mixing known at the time. Maxwell had publicized the same theory five years earlier, but Helmholtz barely acknowledges this fact in the Handbuch. Some historian...

Abstract. In this study, we consider new finite difference schemes for solving the Helmholtz equation. Novel difference schemes which do not introduce truncation error are presented, consequently the exact solution for the Helmholtz equation can be computed numerically. The most important features of the new schemes are that while the resulting linear system has the same simple structure as tho...
