Achieving clarity in neurovascular care with cutting-edge imaging technologyBy PhilipsOctober 30 2024 5 min read ArticleNeurovascularImage-guided therapyInterventional specialists are continuously seeking advanced imaging solutions to enhance precision treatment streamline workflows and improve patient outcomes Cutting-edge imaging technology is revolutionizing the way these physicians diagnose and treat complex neurovascular conditions strokes and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) By leveraging state-of-the-art imaging systems with 3D visualization neuro-interventionalists can make more informed decisions perform procedures with greater confidence and Elevate precision and clarity in neurovascular imagingOne of the key benefits of advanced imaging technology in neurovascular care lies in its unparalleled image quality Chief of Service at Hôpital Bicêtre AP-HP in Paris highlights the importance of exceptional image clarity in interventional neuroradiology: "First The clarity [of the Philips Azurion system with SmartCT] provides wonderful picture quality compared to others." High-resolution image-guided therapy systems like Azurion offer interventional specialists the ability to visualize intricate neurovascular structures with remarkable detail while minimizing radiation exposure The system's advanced digital zoom capabilities further enhance visualization allowing physicians to magnify images to closely examine critical anatomical features 3D imaging has become an indispensable tool in neurovascular interventions providing physicians with a comprehensive understanding of complex anatomy "3D imaging is absolutely mandatory for me you cannot treat.' And 3D is the key tool." Part of the integrated Philips Neuro suite these advanced imaging systems now offer intuitive 3D visualization and measurement tools accessible directly from the tableside via a touchscreen module manipulate and analyze 3D images without disrupting their workflow Dr. Jildaz Caroff, an Interventional Neuroradiologist at Hôpital Bicêtre AP-HP, elaborates on the benefits of the Philips SmartCT interface: "3D imaging brings better precision in measurements and allows us to have a better understanding of the anatomy We can do new reconstructions; we can do all the measurements directly in the angio suite without leaving the patient and the treatment." The ease of use makes the difference with other manufacturers." such as automatic positioning control (APC) enable physicians to save time and reduce radiation exposure during procedures "Full APC is a significant improvement of Azurion compared to the last version You just have to press a button and everything comes back to the initial position so I would say that it is sparing X-ray exposure for patients And you have a gain of time because you don't have to refocus and displace the table again," explains Prof As neurovascular interventions become increasingly complex the ability to simulate device placement and anticipate potential challenges is essential for procedural success Cutting-edge imaging systems now offer seamless integration with device simulation software allowing neurointerventionals to plan and refine their treatment strategies right from the angio suite an Interventional Neuroradiologist at Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Montpellier elaborates on this capability: "In this version we can simulate the devices we want to put [in] And now it's possible to simulate directly from the cath lab zoom or change a contrast with two fingers like we usually do with a phone." This integration streamlines the planning process and enables physicians to make well-informed decisions ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes Cutting-edge imaging technology is transforming the landscape of neurovascular care providing interventional neuroradiologists with the tools they need to diagnose and treat complex conditions with unparalleled precision and confidence health system partnerships and feedback from physicians are crucial for driving innovation and improving patient care the best system ever made by Philips," notes Prof "It has profited from the experience provided by the users and it's something that is incredibly easy to use." and seamless integration with the entire neuro suite Philips is committed to empowering interventionalists to deliver the highest quality care to their patients Through ongoing collaboration and a shared dedication to innovation we can shape the future of neurovascular care and make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients worldwide Explore our flexible Neuro suite portfolio of integrated technologies services and accessories for diverse neurovascular treatments The CLEVER study was set up to assess whether—despite its lower profile in comparison to prior device iterations—the newer-generation WEB 17 system maintains efficacy and safety in the treatment of bifurcation aneurysms It was conducted at 17 clinical sites spanning Finland with Spelle being one of three trial coordinators alongside Christophe Cognard (Toulouse University Hospital France) and István Szikora (National Institute of Mental Health A total of 163 patients (mean age 58.1 years 68% female) including 103 with unruptured aneurysms and 60 with ruptured aneurysms were enrolled from June 2019 to February 2021 CLEVER’s primary safety endpoint was death of non-accidental cause/any major stroke ≤30 days after treatment or death/major ipsilateral stroke of neurologic cause from day 31 to one year after treatment Its primary efficacy endpoint—evaluated at James Byrne’s (University of Oxford UK) core lab—was adequate occlusion without retreatment at one year Spelle highlighted that there were no treatment failures with WEB 17 across all 163 aneurysms while adjunctive devices—primarily balloons—were required in just nine unruptured (8.7%) and seven ruptured (11.7%) cases with three patients (1.8%) suffering a major stroke and zero deaths due to a neurologic cause occurring within one year post-treatment Touching on the study’s secondary safety endpoints Spelle also noted a 2% rate of morbidity (defined as modified Rankin scale [mRS] >2) and a 0.6% overall mortality rate at 12 months as well as one perioperative bleeding event and no rebleeding in patients with ruptured aneurysms and one haemorrhagic complication in patients with unruptured aneurysms He further detailed that none of the haemorrhagic complications seen within one year had any clinical consequences and that no WEB-related morbidity or mortality was observed Moving on to discuss the study’s primary efficacy endpoint—ultimately assessed in 146 patients—Spelle reported an 82.2% rate of target aneurysm adequate occlusion (complete occlusion or neck remnant) without retreatment at one year he stated that four of 152 patients (2.6%) required retreatments at 12 months and pointed to complete occlusion (62.9%) and neck remnant (21%) rates on the three-grade Raymond-Roy occlusion classification (RROC) scale resulting in an 83.9% adequate occlusion rate when allowing for retreated aneurysms Finally, the speaker relayed 73.1% complete occlusion and 86.6% adequate occlusion rates as per RROC, and one retreatment, in the study’s ruptured aneurysm subgroup. Spelle then drew comparisons between CLEVER and the CLARYS study the WEB device remains safe and efficient” in such cases citing similar maximum aneurysm sac widths in CLARYS and CLEVER’s ruptured subgroup as well as lower rates of morbidity and mortality observed in the latter patient cohort and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" There are many opportunities for local and national businesses to partner with Minor League Baseball's flagship franchise, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.

Thomas Reis’ side will leave for training camp in Mittersill © 1904-2023 FC Gelsenkirchen-Schalke 04 e.V Sequent Medical has begun enrolling patients in a study which will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the WEB (woven endobridge) aneurysm embolisation system for the treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms The first patient was enrolled by Laurent Spelle Fifty patients with ruptured aneurysms are to be enrolled in the “Clinical Assessment of WEB device in Ruptured Aneurysms” (CLARYS) study which will take place at up to 15 sites in France and Germany multicentre study focused only on gathering data on the WEB device in this particular patient population The primary endpoint of the study will be the rate of aneurysm re-bleeding at 30 days An independent core lab will review all study data and CLARYS will also feature independent clinical event adjudication The WEB device consists of a dense mesh constructed from a large number of extremely fine nitinol wires and functions as an intrasaccular flow disruptor bridging the neck of the aneurysm and providing rapid “The combination of rapid and durable stasis fast procedure and the avoidance of long-term dual antiplatelet therapy makes the WEB an ideal treatment option for ruptured aneurysms,” stated Spelle “The initiation of the CLARYS study represents the next important milestone for this exciting technology platform and a critical step towards improving outcomes in a large patient population with significant unmet needs.” Leading the list is Noble Equipment of Nobleford earning the #1 spot in

Surprise your child Christmas morning by slipping a couple of these pillows next to your child’s head in the middle of the night. The screams you’ll hear in the morning might be delight, but are probably terror because WTF is wrong with you? Let’s give our kids a $1,600 reason to not go to fucking sleep at night as we stand at the bottom of the stairs, clutching the rail to ride out our rage while our kids giggle and scream at us for glasses of water. Sure, our ancestors died weathering the elements and suffering dysentery to find us a place to call home and erect shelters so we could get out of the cold, but by all means, spend well over a grand to “bring the outside in.” Like an asshole. “Stop looking at me, swan.” Scar your child for life by having them break the neck of a stuffed swan just because you wanted to fill their room with overpriced whimsy. Never have I ever wanted to straddle a fucking swan as a child, and trust me, I was game for some wild shit. Not every animal is equipped to be mounted and heel-kicked in the ribs, Bob. After your child is finished ripping their swan rocker a new one, they can add the feathers to this overhead pendulum of death. This pendant looks like a floating graveyard for bird cadavers.

When selecting how you’d like to pay for this, are chests of rubies and emeralds delivered via elephant and camels an option? When I was little, I was jazzed as shit to have some dumb glow-in-the-dark stars stuck to my ceiling. Your kids will be fine without this, I promise you. Skin all of the woodland creatures. Sleep inside of their carcasses. Warm your tootsies up by shoving your fucking feet inside of a panda’s head. Find the last unicorn, kill it, hang it upside down, and bleed it to death so you can take a cute selfie wearing its scalp on your scalp. Do what you want — you don’t care! “Dammit, Kylie, I thought I told you not to play with your $400 dollhouse out in the snow. I swear to God, I’ll only buy you the $200 Westport dollhouse if you ruin that next time as punishment. Now go throw $1,000 in the diamond encrusted fireplace, I feel a slight chill.” Do you sometimes forget your last name?

Shoppers Stop introduced its fragrance line in November this year; and in September launched their own respective line of fragrances India’s fragrance industry is currently valued at Rs 2,200 crore Shoppers Stop has launched a fragrance line under its beauty brand Arcelia “We launched with our bath and body care range The good feedback we received on this range gave us the verve to launch the fragrance line,” says Venugopal Nair managing director and chief executive officer Ethnic wear brand Biba has launched three fragrances under its brand Spelle “Our customers wanted a safe gifting choice from Biba and perfumes emerged as the clear winner following extensive research and consumer feedback,” says Siddharth Bindra Targetted at new-age consumers in tier I and II markets the 30 ml fragrance is available at Rs 999 and the gift set with all three fragrances is priced at Rs 3,299 Spelle by Biba is available in stores as well as online and will soon be made available on e-commerce platforms who has brands AND and Global Desi under her name got into the fragrances category in March 2021 Its perfumes and body mists are available at all AND and Global Desi exclusive stores including a clutch of third-party e-commerce platforms the company hopes to bring a new set of consumers on board who are not necessarily buyers of AND and Global Desi,” says Kavindra Mishra He hopes that the fragrance range will make up about 5% of the company’s accessories business in future The fragrance market is skewed in terms of the type of players operating in this space and the consumers they target says the market is dominated by either high-end luxury players or low-end unorganised players it is pertinent that fragrance brands identify consumers who are aspirational a fragrance line is a natural extension of the product category; for luxury players beauty and fragrances create a somewhat affordable category for customers to experience the brand it creates an opportunity to upsell and cross-sell the products,” Hunderkari adds For apparel brands who want to make a mark in the fragrance market says store-based retailing and sampling will remain key “People need to sense the smell of the perfume and can’t make a decision just by reading about it.” While the online channel could be useful to generate demand Getting consumers familiar with the types of fragrances their usage and application could spur demand “Once the consumer is educated about these you will start seeing growth in this market,” notes Balaraman and the marketing efforts put in by these brands would ultimately determine how successful they are Read Also: What are the expectations for online retail in 2022 Follow us on TwitterInstagramLinkedIn, Facebook Moody’s downgraded India’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 to 6.3% due to global economic slowdown caused by US policy uncertainty and trade restrictions including those between India and Pakistan Moody’s expects RBI to cut rates to boost growth The US and China are also facing trade tensions Krone decided to solely focus on the production of grass equipment shortly after it left both the tillage equipment and manure spreader sectors in the early 1990s the firm wanted to focus on a niche sector When news broke that Krone was developing a self-propelled forage harvester With annual sales at 2,000 to 2,500 units at the time Krone set out to capture 20% of the global market Krone set about offering higher-horsepower foragers with bigger headers than the opposition at the time Since Krone entered the self-propelled forager game in May 2000 Having undergone a significant 20 years of developments the Big X range now comprises eight models with the Big X 1180 being the world’s most powerful forager the first Krone forage harvester prototype This particular machine was a 40km/h high-speed version that was powered by a 540hp engine The Big X prototype was built in 1999 and finished in early 2000 Krone officially launched the Big X V8 (605hp) and the Big X V12 (780hp) in 2003. Having proven its commercial success since its roll-out in 2000 the Big X becomes available in two models in 2003 – the Big X V8 (605hp) and the Big X V12 (780hp) along with the EasyFlow grass header and the 8-row 10-row and 12-row EasyCollect maize headers As the machines began to roll out of the factory Krone upped its game by showcasing a new Big X service team of six engineers Each Big X customer was assigned their personal service engineer who was specifically trained on Big X technology Customers were presented with a Big X hotline number where they could find 24/7 assistance throughout the entire harvest season Krone officially launched the Big X V8 (605hp) and the Big X V12 (780hp) in 2003..By 2005 Krone had more than 200 Big X machines out in the fields around the world The German firm then launched the new monstrous BiG X prototype powered by two synchronised six-cylinder engines that deliver a rated output of about 1,000hp These machines boasted a beefier drive system and higher-capacity headers The new model also had a 14-row maize header which offered a working width of 10.50m Unlike the existing header models at the time the new 14-row maize header was split into three sections that folded into a sub-3.50m transport width the first Big X was sold on the Irish market The first two units were sold to Northern Ireland Gamble Brothers in Co Antrim and Neville Rickey in Co Fermanagh still run Big X harvesters today The VariStream Crop Flow system was introduced on the Big X 650 in 2009 This same year the Big X 650 was showcased across the country the VariStream Crop Flow system was introduced on the Big X 650 The technology saw the front end of the spring-loaded chopping drum floor being linked to the anvil of the counter-blade operators could ensure the gap between the blades and floor was always maintained This system was introduced to help maintain a consistent chop in lumpy swaths Krone launched its third generation of Big X in 2010 Krone launched its third generation of Big X The new series saw the twin-engines being replaced by V12 power units Although these models featured the new PowerSplit system that reduced engine output on demand customers wanting a machine in the 450-700hp bracket would need to wait three more years The Big X 480 and 580 signalled Krone’s entry into the lower-horsepower sector in 2013 Taking on board the lessons learnt from the Big X 500 the firm reduced the drum width from 800mm to 630mm to improve the power to cutting width ratio The addition of independent rear wishbone suspension enhanced operator comfort a new factory for the self-propelled machines took up production of the Big X models They also had new headers that were split into two and three sections In 2017 Krone launched the fourth generation Krone wide body machines 2017 brought about a number of changes to the Big X range with the launch of the fourth-generation Krone wide-body machines These models came with the option of the new LiftCab ideally suited to maize harvesting for greater visibility over tall crops This allowed operators to raise the entire cab by 70cm via hydraulic scissor lift These larger wide-body machines benefited from new exterior styling The wide-body range adopted the new cab design and rear wishbone suspension system introduced on the lower-horsepower machines back in 2013 which allowed operators log machine-related data and telematics a new flagship Big X was added to the range powered by a 24l Liebherr V12 engine outputting 1,165hp Now the Big X series consisted of eight machines ranging from 490hp to 1,165hp The company also launched the new three-model range of XCollect maize headers previewed at Agritechnica last November is the XtraPower feature This
