Percutaneous stenting angioplasty of native coarctation of the aorta is considered a low-risk procedure with high success rate. The incidence of cerebral complications, especially ischemic complications, is very low. We report a case of a 15-year-old boy who underwent a percutaneous stenting angioplasty for a coarctation of the aorta and developed a cerebral infraction 4 hours after the procedure.

Abstract Dice must often be removed from their packages and reassembled into more suitable packages for them to be tested in automated test equipment (ATE). Removing bare dice from their substrates using conventional methods poses risks for chemical, thermal, and/or mechanical damage. A new removal method is offered using metallography-based and parallel polishing-based techniques to remove the substrate while exposing the die to minimized risk for damage. This method has been tested and found to have a high success rate once the techniques are learned.

This paper presents the results of an online survey about perpetual access for electronic serials that have been canceled, have ceased, or have transferred to different publishers. The survey sought to ascertain the true experiences of libraries working to maintain perpetual access. Results indicate a high success rate for providing perpetual access. Results also indicate a lack of standardization for and many challenges to keeping track of and providing perpetual access. A discussion section expands on key findings and the most common obstacles to providing perpetual access.

Abstract Atrophy of the upper jaw poses problems for fixed rehabilitation of implants. Of the different management possibilities that have been developed, transzygomatic implant placement is a good option and affords a high success rate. These implants are positioned in zygomatic bone by using 2 possible techniques. We present a 48-year-old woman with severe posterior maxillary atrophy in which the canine and frontozygomatic prominence were used to place 6 anterior and 2 transzygomatic implants by using the sinus slot technique for fixed bridge rehabilitation. The advantages of the sinus slot technique over the sinus window technique are discussed.

Background: Description of the technique of the transbrachial catheter diagnostics, retrospective evaluation of the technical success rate and the complications. Patients and methods: In a period of 8 years the transbrachial approach was used in 2555 patients, 1734 men and 821 women with an average age of 62.9 years. The investigation was done with outpatients in approximately 90% of the cases. Usually, the preferred arm was not punctured. For the diagnostics F4 and F5-catheter sheaths and selective catheter and/or plain catheters were used. Results: 12 times (0.47%) the investigation did not succeed technically. The image quality of the vascular representations was diagnostically sufficient. The total complication rate amounted to 0.47%. The following complications appeared: four dissections in the site of puncture, one embolism into arteries at the forearm, three transitory ischemic attacks, four haematoma at the site of puncture. Conclusions: The transbrachial catheter diagnostics is a little invasive, efficient and low-risk method, which is practicable in out-patients.

Background: This study aimed to identify the clinical results after thyrotropin suppression therapy (TST) cessation and evaluated clinical factors associated with successful TST cessation. Methods: Patients who underwent lobectomy due to low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) were included in this study. We compared clinical characteristics and outcomes between patients who succeeded to stop TST and failed to stop TST. Results: A total of 363 patients were included in the study. One hundred and ninety-three patients (53.2%, 193/363) succeeded to stop TST. The independent associated factors for successful TST cessation were the preoperative thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level and the maintenance period of TST. Patients with low TSH level showed a higher success rate for levothyroxine (LT4) cessation than patients with high TSH level (1.79 ± 1.08 and 2.76 ± 1.82 mU/L, p < 0.001). Patients who failed to discontinue TST showed a longer maintenance period of TST than patients who succeeded to discontinue TST (54.09 ± 17.44 and 37.58 ± 17.68 months, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Preoperative TSH level and maintenance period of TST are important factors for successful cessation of TST. If TST cessation is planned for patients who are taking LT4 after lobectomy, a higher success rate of TST cessation is expected with low preoperative TSH level and early cessation of LT4.

Nowadays, production and distribution of digital images has become part of our life. Since digital images, which are important carriers of information, are considered as the concrete proofs of facts in many fields and they can be used as evidence in the courts of law, development of techniques to ensure image authenticity is an active research topic. Copy-move forgery is one of the most common manipulation techniques that are implemented on the digital images, and various techniques have been developed for detection of these kinds of forgeries. JPEG format, which presents the ability of making high rate compression without causing remarkable changes in the meaning of the image, is the most commonly used format on digital images. In this study, the topic of detecting free-form copy-move forgeries on digital images is covered. It has been observed that the developed technique is able to detect the professional forgeries in which the copied region is selected in free-form and which are almost impossible to be detected by human eye, with high success rate, and it is able to give successful results even if the image is exposed to postprocesses such as JPEG compression and Gaussian filtering, which make the detection of forgery harder.
