PURPOSE Arch aneurysm combined with insufficient Zone 1 length remains challenging. While a chimney stentgraft with supra-aortic bypass is a recognized solution for arch aneurysm, no definite strategy has been established yet. The aim of this study was to investigate efficacy of chimney stentgraft for patients with zone 1 of insufficient length. METHODS Between 2011 and 2013, 10 consecutive p...

A strategy is described for the construction of a reference model design solar chimneys that includes variations in geometry and materials chimney's components. The will be developed from dynamic simulations transient state chimney under irradiation real conditions. based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) generalization properties allowing predictions multiple geometries chimney. can serve a...

The classical solar chimney offers passive electricity and water production at a low operating cost. However, the suffers from high capital cost energy output density per construction area. investment increases levelized of (LCOE), making design less economically competitive versus other technologies. This work presents new noteworthy for maximizing production. was achieved by integrating cooli...

BACKGROUND Losartan and telmisartan, angiotensin AT1 receptor antagonists, are widely used antihypertensive drugs in patients. It is also known that arterial hypertension is often present in people with epilepsy, therefore, drug interactions between AT1 receptor antagonists and antiepileptic drugs can occur in clinical practice. OBJECTIVES The aim of the current study was to assess the effect...

An aortic arch banding procedure was performed on an 82-year-old man for treatment of proximal type I endoleaks 2 days after he had undergone emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair with the chimney technique for a ruptured aortic arch aneurysm. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography after the second procedure demonstrated significant shrinkage of the aneurysmal sac as well as a complete d...

We present a novel seismic interpretational workflow applied to large gas-chimney located above the Marjoram Gas Field, offshore NW Borneo. The is hosted by clay-dominated sealing sequence characterised meter-scale silt beds. affected complex network of normal faults. gas chimney, interpretable as vertical anomaly cluster, composed several discrete amplitude anomalies and result leakage from cr...

The Global Burden of Disease Study estimated that in 2010 there were 6.3, 3.5 and 3.2 million deaths attributable to tobacco smoking, household air pollution from solid fuels and ambient particulate matter pollution, respectively. The inhalation of polluted air is the leading risk factor for death and disability globally. The adverse effects of these three categories of air pollution impact mos...
