Barleben, a renowned vascular surgeon and researcher, is the new director of the Aortic Center at UC Davis Health Before moving to UC Davis, Barleben was on faculty in UC San Diego’s Department of Surgery and at the VA Medical Center-San Diego. At UC San Diego, he was co-director of the Center for Medical Device Engineering and Biomechanics (CMDEB) “I am confident he will continue to elevate the Aortic Center which has already become one of the top referral centers for complex aortic reconstructions in Northern California.” “I am thrilled to join the UC Davis community to lead and collaborate with the team at the Aortic Center building a future on its solid foundation,” said Barleben “I am looking forward to continuing to advance our mission of providing world-class clinical care for people with aortic diseases We look forward to partnering with Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery to provide pioneering open and minimally invasive stenting or robotic surgical options for aortic disease from the aortic valve down.” Barleben collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to create a special FDA-approved trial to custom-build patient-specific stent grafts to repair thoracoabdominal aneurysms He also worked on industry-sponsored trials in the aortic arch and created custom options for patients in a compassionate use authorization for patients with ascending and aortic arch disease that had no open or trial-based options.  Barleben also collaborated with the UCSD bioengineering faculty on several research projects They looked at 3D printing patient-specific aneurysms that failed traditional treatment as well as studying computed flow dynamic modeling of arterial occlusive disease and endoleaks after abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs Barleben also developed and assessed custom-made 3D-printed flow models a unique way to treat complex aortic arch pathology for which he plans to pursue an FDA-approved trial.  Barleben plans to develop similar collaborations at UC Davis.  Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.:hs-publicaffairs@ucdavis.edu916-734-9040 After business hours, holidays or weekends:hs-publicaffairs@ucdavis.edu916-734-2011 (ask for public information officer) © 2025 UC Regents.

middle Elbe valley near Magdeburg have revealed significant archaeological findings spanning from the Middle Pleistocene to the modern era The Barleben-Adamsee gravel quarry has been particularly fruitful uncovering relics dating back tens of thousands of years The gravel accumulation in the Adamsee lake area near Barleben has occurred over millennia making it a rich source of archaeological material due to the extraction process using bucket dredgers below the water table direct observation of the stratigraphic layers is not feasible dating of the finds relies on the shape of tools or scientific methods like radiocarbon dating with particular recognition given to Uwe Beye for his contributions to the discoveries at the Barleben-Adamsee quarry Among the finds are approximately 180 flint artifacts One notable discovery is a 41.8-centimeter-long point crafted from a bovine rib dated to around 32,000 to 33,000 years ago making it one of the oldest polished bone tools found in Central Germany suggesting the presence of early modern humans as their creators This challenges previous associations of leaf points with Neanderthals A particularly intriguing find is the discovery of five fragments of turtle shells These fragments belong to the European freshwater turtle suggesting that these creatures existed during the Weichselian glaciation a period when much of Central Europe was covered in ice This unexpected dating raises questions about the origin of the turtles with comparisons drawn to ethnographic and historical evidence suggesting that Ice Age hunters including Neanderthals or early modern humans might have transported these reptiles to colder regions The discovery of these remains suggests that early humans or Neanderthals may have adapted to

those previous attempts,” Johnny added very time consuming and very emotionally and physiologically draining.” It was on their fourth try that they got nine viable embryos – two of which they implanted into their surrogate – and they were elated when they found out they would have twins But their longing for a family was hit with another hurdle when in the ninth week one of the embryos

fuel cell specialist Horiba FuelCon is expanding its production site in Barleben approximately 30 million euros are to be invested in a new building in the Ostfalen Technology Park in Barleben increasing the number of employees from the current 110 to 360 The new building will strengthen the company’s role as a global competence center within the Horiba Group and also advance the planned e-mobility campus The planned office space is 3,000 square meters and the production area 7,000 square meters “This makes us not only technologically future-proof but also a strong employer in the region,” says Managing Director Ingo Benecke Horiba FuelCon – previously known as FuelCon until the takeover last year – manufactures test manufacturing and diagnostic systems for fuel cells and batteries In other words – products that are currently in demand in the automotive and supplier industries “The increasing demands on vehicle manufacturers to reduce CO2 and pollutant emissions are encouraging the automotive industry to invest in battery and fuel cell technology,” says Atsushi Horiba “Demand is growing to such an extent that we will expand our plant to meet it.” Saxony-Anhalt’s Economics Minister Armin Willingmann (SPD) is pleased with the investment and the planned 250 new jobs “The upheaval in the automotive industry not only entails risks but also great opportunities that we must seize,” says Willingmann The University of Magdeburg is also building a “Center for Method Development” in the Ostfalen Technology Park the “E-Mobility Campus” will provide an attractive environment for companies and qualified employees commissioned and expanded different buildings within its manufacturing ecosystem The company has commissioned its plant in Magdeburg-Barleben in Saxony-Anhalt in the Technologiepark Ostfalen in Magdeburg-Barleben is the new headquarters of the subsidiary Horiba FuelCon production and diagnostic systems for fuel cells and batteries In addition to 7,000 square metres of production space the eHUB has around 3,000 square metres of office space there was a delay of around four months in the project – the original plan was for the end of 2021 But when the expansion of the Barleben site was announced in November 2019 the Corona pandemic with all its global implications was not yet foreseeable the expansion of the site in Leichlingen (North Rhine-Westphalia) was also completed Horiba FuelCon invested a total of 36 million euros in both projects “Our investment in both site expansions is a milestone for our further growth,” says Robert Plank “It is the answer to the increasing demand from vehicle manufacturers to reduce emissions the rapidly growing importance of a clean energy supply for energy-intensive industries such as the chemical or steel industry and the increase in environmental monitoring technology to measure pollutants.” I agree with the Privacy policy electrive has been following the development of electric

to improve outcomes The minimally invasive procedure, a thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), is made possible with a new medical device called the Zenith Alpha® 2 Thoracic Endovascular Graft Patients treated with the graft can expect improved safety and healing compared to traditional surgical procedures UC Davis Medical Center is one of the first sites nationwide to have commercial access to the Zenith Alpha® 2 Thoracic Endovascular Graft and the first hospital in Northern California to utilize the endovascular treatment “We are excited to utilize this novel device for patients’ complex anatomic restrictions,” said Andrew Barleben director of the UC Davis Aortic Center and the surgeon who performed the first procedure at UC Davis “This next-generation device may allow us to offer procedures with lower risk of stroke than previously.”  the main pipeline for blood from the heart to the body The weak spot has the potential to dissect or rupture cutting off the supply of life-sustaining blood to the rest of the body Aortic diseases can affect people at any age Patients with aortic disease usually have no symptoms and are unaware of the changes in their aorta the diagnosis is made incidentally through imaging tests such as chest X-rays or echocardiograms performed for other reasons Current nonsurgical treatments include lifestyle changes like exercise Patients also require regular imaging of the aorta and careful management of blood pressure Patients needing an aorta repair may undergo open heart surgery or a less-complicated stent procedure like TEVAR TEVAR is a minimally invasive procedure to repair the aorta a major blood vessel and the largest artery of the body which carries blood from the heart to the circulatory system a stent graft is placed through a small hole in the patient’s groin The graft is made of a fabric-covered metal mesh that is fully opened under X-ray The device repairs the diseased aorta and helps to keep it open and allow blood to flow properly to the rest of the body The new thoracic endovascular graft is thinner and easier for vascular surgeons to use which benefits patients with challenging anatomies “This minimally invasive approach helps to prevent stroke in a novel way during deployment of the endograft which improves patient safety and the healing process,” said Barleben “Being one of the first centers in the country to offer this novel system is a testament to our outstanding team-based approach to patient care,” said Misty D. Humphries, interim chief of vascular surgery “Our vascular surgery team is among the best and most comprehensive in the nation efficient and high-quality care to the patients we care for is what drives us to lead the field.” Contributed Photo – The Orleans County players on the Genesee Community College baseball team include Joe DeFelice and Josh Porter from Holley along with John Warne

remembers lying on a gurney with her father and sister at her side as trauma surgeons explained the emergency procedure they needed to perform to save her life Reals had been driving home to Oakley after a nice dinner with friends As she turned onto Eight Mile Road in Stockton another car slammed into her vehicle — knocking it into a dry canal Reals was airlifted to UC Davis Medical Center, the area’s only level 1 trauma center a tear in her ascending aorta and aortic arch That’s the top part of the main artery carrying blood away from the heart my seat belt caused a tear in my aorta,” Reals shared but sudden deceleration can still cause organ damage or severe injuries like an aortic tear Based on Reals’ condition and the location of her injury the team decided on a novel procedure: an aortic arch repair with dual branched device deployment.  the stent graft bridges the gap from the tear in the aortic arch It has only been done a handful of times and had never been done in Northern California.  “Repairing an injury to the aortic arch presents many challenges due to the size shape and location of the injury,” Barleben explained “Current treatment is typically open surgical repair That requires sternotomy [opening of the chest] and hypothermic circulatory arrest [suspending blood flow under very cold body temperatures] open chest surgical aortic arch repairs can have relatively high death and complication rates in traumatic injuries many patients aren’t eligible.” “We are fortunate enough to have a strong cardiothoracic team whom we regularly collaborate with Reals’ repair involved incisions smaller than the width of a finger and took just under two hours The surgeons accessed her artery at the top of the legs and delivered branch stents through upper extremity artery access to circulate blood to the brain and arms.  an angiogram showed successful repair of the severe blunt aortic injury.  “This novel approach is designed to make a minimally invasive repair possible for more patients while potentially reducing the risks of surgery It adds to the more standard open and hybrid procedures offered at UC Davis,” Barleben added “This type of procedure could reduce procedure time and hospital stays as well as potentially improve outcomes for patients.” an early CT scan revealed significant healing of Reals’ aortic injury Reals still has pain in her ribs and hip and is recovering from her other injuries but no issues related to the tear in her artery “I am just so thankful to UC Davis Health for the care they provided,” Reals reflected Reals and her family said they never felt nervous or concerned about the procedure.  “The surgeons were very open about what would happen and provided all the details on why it was necessary,” she shared “It gave us confidence in their approach and plans for treating my injury.” The endovascular arch replacement with a dual branched device deployment procedure is one of many minimally invasive vascular procedures performed by the UC Davis Health vascular surgery team Some of the additional procedures include: “We are proud to offer a vast array of minimally invasive procedures as part of our commitment to advancing medical science and improving patient outcomes,” said Misty D. Humphries, the UC Davis Health interim chief of vascular surgery “Our vascular surgery team is renowned for its commitment to cutting-edge research and patient care This is due to our team of highly skilled medical professionals who work tirelessly to make patients feel secure and well-cared for.” Structure knocked over at shipyard after vessel was torn loose in storm A Wallenius Wilhelmsen car carrier has been ripped from its moorings in a storm in Germany, damaging infrastructure at the Lloyd Werft shipyard. The Nordsee-Zeitung reported that the 7,194-ceu Don Quijote (built 1998) knocked over a crane and hit floating dock No 3 at the facility in Bremerhaven on Sunday evening. Contact was made between the vessel’s bow and the 450-tonne shipyard crane, with a lifting capacity of 25 tonnes. The crane had stood at the yard for 50 years, after being made by VEB Baumechanik Barleben in what was then East Germany. Damage was also caused to the outfitting quay at Lloyd Werft. Sven May, operations manager at Lloyd Werft, told the newspaper the exact extent of the damage is not yet known. He said the crane is probably a total loss, however. Experts will be brought in to examine the floating dock, which is currently empty. May said no final assessment will be made until at least Wednesday. The maritime police in Bremen said damage would be in the high six-digit range. Operations at the shipyard are able to continue as normal. Wallenius Wilhelmsen told TradeWinds: “Most importantly, no personal injuries or environmental damages have been reported.” “The vessel Don Quijote, currently at the working berth in Bremerhaven in Germany, was blown off its berth on Sunday night, touching the nearby Lloyd Werft shipyard floating dock. At the time of the incident the vessel was moored at the lay-by berth at Bremerhaven,” it added. The owner was told there were wind speeds of above 60 knots wind at the time. “Joint surveys of damages are underway, including both Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s and Lloyd Werft’s insurance companies,” the company said. Large car carriers present a big target for high winds. When storms are approaching, tugs are usually used to make sure the vessels are in a safe location. AIS data shows the Don Quijote remained moored in Bremerhaven on Tuesday morning. It arrived at the yard on 8 July and its destination is shown as Antwerp in Belgium on 12 July.
