Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) and three-dimensional overlay technology in preemptive segmental artery embolization to reduce the risk of spinal cord ischemia prior to fenestrated en... by C. Adam Banks, MD, Adam W. Beck, MD

“…Branched/fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (B/FEVAR) carries a risk of spinal cord ischemia (SCI), which increases along with increasing length of aortic luminal coverage of the repair. Pre-emptive coverage with first-stage thoracic endovascular aortic aneurysm repair or embolization of intercostal/lumbar vessels as a staging procedure to reduce the risk of SCI after repair has become commonplace. …”

Quantifying the impact of expanded age group campaigns for polio eradication. by Bradley G Wagner, Matthew R Behrend, Daniel J Klein, Alexander M Upfill-Brown, Philip A Eckhoff, Hao Hu

“…It has been hypothesized that such expanded age group (EAG) campaigns could accelerate polio eradication by eliminating immunity gaps in older children that may have resulted from past periods of low vaccination coverage. Using an individual-based mathematical model, we quantified the impact of EAG campaigns in terms of probability of elimination, reduction in polio transmission and age stratified immunity levels. …”
