Technical challenges during emergent endovascular aneurysm repair with the ALTO system
Expert Rev Med Devices. 2024 Apr 5:1-7. doi: 10.1080/17434440.2024.2339416. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) pose an immediate threat for patient's life and endovascular repair (EVAR) is currently the preferred treatment modality in the presence of suitable anatomy. This is determined based on the requirements of each endograft as described in the instructions for use (IFU). The new ALTO system (Endologix, Irvin, CA, U.S.A.), can accommodate a great range of anatomies such as short necks and/or narrow access, but its unique design requires specific technical modificatio...

Deep brain stimulation for Alzheimer's disease - current status and next steps
This article explores AD as a manifestation of neurocircuit dysfunction and evaluates deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a potential intervention. Focusing on fornix-targeted stimulation (DBS-f), the article summarizes safety, feasibility, and outcomes observed in phase 1/2 trials, highlighting findings such as cognitive improvement, increased metabolism, and hippocampal growth. Topics for further study include optimization of electrode placement, and the role of stimulation-induced autobiographical-recall. Nucleus basalis of Meynert (DBS-NBM) DBS is also discussed and compared with DBS-f. Challenges with both DBS-f and DBS-N...

Ongoing exposure to endocrine disrupting phthalates and alternative plasticizers in neonatal intensive care unit patients
Environ Int. 2024 Mar 28;186:108605. doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2024.108605. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDue to endocrine disrupting effects, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a plasticizer used to soften plastic medical devices, was restricted in the EU Medical Devices Regulation (EU MDR 2017/745) and gradually replaced by alternative plasticizers. Neonates hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are vulnerable to toxic effects of plasticizers. From June 2020 to August 2022, urine samples (n = 1070) were repeatedly collected from premature neonates (n = 132, 4-10 samples per patient) born at <31 weeks ge...
