This paper presents a novel topology of dual airgap radial flux permanent magnet vernier machine (PMVM) in order to obtain a higher torque per magnet volume and similar average torque compared to a conventional PMVM machine. The proposed machine contains two stators and a sandwiched yokeless rotor. The yokeless rotor helps to reduce the magnet volume by providing an effective flux linkage in the stator windings. This effective flux linkage improved the average torque of the proposed machine. The competitiveness of the proposed vernier machine was validated using 2D finite element analysis under the same machine volume as that of conventional vernier machine. Moreover, cogging torque, torque ripples, torque density, losses, and efficiency performances also favored the proposed topology.
The prognosis of coronary revascularization in patients has been significantly altered by the Interventional cardiology. With the advancement of the novel drugs and stent technology the new complications i.e., in-stent restenosis, have emerged. Objective: To analyze the predictors of outcome in the treatment of in-stent restenosis with drug-eluting balloons. Methods: It was a retrospective study conducted at Pir Abdul Qadir Shah Jeelani Institute of Medical Sciences Gambat for the duration of one year from August 2021 to July 2022. The patients older than 18 years were eligible for the trial. The patients who have undergone coronary intervention with a drug-eluting balloon during the duration of the study were also eligible. This study received approval from the institution's research ethics board. The patient demographic features, procedure complications and operative results were recorded. Results: The mean age of patients was 65 years. There were 62 male participants. There were 54 patients that had history of diabetes mellitus, 87 had hypertension, 32 reported about smoking habits. There were 91 patients that reported about history of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 72 about myocardial infraction (MI) and 30 reported about coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Kidney related inflammation or infection was found in case of 19 patients. Conclusions: This single center study showed significantly low rate of target lesion revascularization (TLR) for a period of one year and moderate rate was found at five years.
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.
