In recent years, there has been a decrease in accidents due to technical failures through technological developments of redundancy and protection, which have made systems more reliable. However, it is not possible to talk about system reliability without addressing the failure rate of all its components; among these components, "man" – because his rate of error changes the rate of failure of co...

Re-intervention on abdominal aortic aneurysm treated by endovascular aortic aneurysm repair for complications such as endoleak, graft migration, and graft failure is relatively common. However, re-do endovascular aortic aneurysm repair can be complex, as the failed graft still resides within the vessel. In addition, some re-do endovascular aortic aneurysm repairs call for an advanced custom gra...

In order to meet demands in the context of Technical Information Systems (TIS) pertaining to reliability, extensibility, maintainability, etc., we have developed an architectural framework with accompanying methodological guidelines for designing such systems. With the framework, we aim at complex multiapplication information systems using a repository to share data among applications. The fram...

Abrasive waterjet cutting nowadays represents cold precise, computer controlled shape cutting without any strain [1, 2]. These attributes pose this technology to the position of permanent use in the future, that represents excellent perspective for expansion in volume sectors, especially there, where the materials with excellent utility properties are used [3, 4]. The AWJ technology is, under e...

A 32-year-old man was admitted in the Emergency Department with acute dyspnea secondary to spontaneous pneumothorax. He had history of spontaneous pneumothorax 2 years ago.He was active cigarette smoker (10 pack/year). The family history was unremarkable for lung diseases. Additionally, he had no systemic complaints.The lung HRCT revealed multiple bizarre-shaped cysts distributed in both lungs ...
