The real-world use of the AFX endograft was associated with a low rate of device-and procedure-related complications. The ability to achieve an extended seal zone beyond the anatomical neck might in part contribute to positive outcomes, including the low type Ia and type II endoleak rate. These findings suggest that the AFX device might offer some advantages over other currently marketed endografts, but confirmation awaits the availability of longer-term outcome data.
Hypertonic sodium solution resuscitation of burn patients did not reduce the total resuscitation volume required. Furthermore, it was associated with an increased incidence of renal failure and death. The use of HSS for burn resuscitation may be ill advised.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
