Differentiated inhabitation of ‘auteur architecture’: photographing Álvaro Siza...

This paper explores the different ways residents of famous buildings experience the architecture they live in. We aim at an architectural photography that seeks to portray architecture not as a visual phenomenon but rather a lived one. We have photographed residents of the Bouça housing estate in Porto, Portugal, designed in the 1970s by Pritzker Prize winning Portuguesearchitect Álvaro Siza to house the urban ...

Covered versus uncovered stents for malignant superior vena cava syndrome: a sy...

INTRODUCTION: In recent years, endovascular stenting has emerged as a promising palliative therapeutic modality for carefully selected patients with Superior Vena Cava Syndrome (SVCS) secondary to intra-thoracic malignancies. However, a lack of data hinders procedure standardization, particularly regarding the dichotomy of covered versus uncovered stents. This study aims to compare the outcomes of malignant SVC...

Splenic artery aneurysms – a systematic review of the literature

INTRODUCTION: Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are the most frequent (50 to 75%) abdominal visceral arterial aneurysms. In autopsy studies, the overall incidence is 0.01%, increasing to 10.4% with age. Due to their rarity, there is a lack of data, so we aimed to perform a systematic review of available SAA data. METHODS: A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was...

High-dependency unit care after carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic stenosis

INTRODUCTION: Asymptomatic patients benefit from 3 to 6 hours of neurological and invasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring following carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Only a minority of patients will benefit from a prolonged stay in a high-dependency unit (HDU). The aim of this study was to externally validate previously described predictive variables of postoperative need for prolonged HDU stay. METHODS: To identif...

Inhabiting auteur architecture: tracing the residents’ experience of Álvaro Siz...

This paper explores what it is like to live in a celebrated buildingcreated by a renowned architect. Drawing on conceptualizations ofhome and dwelling as cultural as well as sociotechnical events, itintersects such theoretical lineages with the literature on living infamous residential buildings and asks how individual inhabitation isconstrued by residents. Based on ethnographic research at ÁlvaroSiza’s Bouça h...

Real World Applicability Of Voyager-Pad According To Oac3pad Score

Introduction: Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular and limb adverse events. Optimal post intervention antithrombotic strategy may significantly impact medium to long-term outcomes. The VOYAGER PAD trial showed a clinical benefit of combining low dose rivaroxaban plus aspirin by reducing cardiovascular and limb major adverse events. However, safety of t...

Ten-Year Experience of a Tertiary Center with Giant Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms:...

Introduction: The risk of rupture for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is primarily influenced by their diameter with the likelihood of rupture increasing exponentially as the aneurysm enlarges. Nowadays, giant AAAs are relatively rare in clinical practice due to earlier diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to analyze the treatment and prognosis of giant aneurysms comparing with non-giant AAAs within our ...

The influence of treatment decision on compliance with medication for patients ...

INTRODUCTION: Treatment decision in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (ACS) is a matter of current debate with a recent shift towards isolated best medical treatment (BMT) as treatment of choice in most patients. However, poor medical compliance is one of the main constraints to the success of BMT. We hypothesized that more invasive treatment approaches can influence how patients perceive the s...

Dent disease: A cause of proteinuria against all odds

Dent disease is a rare X-linked progressive renal disease characterized by hypercalciuria and low molecular weight proteinuria. In early childhood, patients may manifest only proteinuria and/or hypercalciuria, both of which are generally asymptomatic. The authors report three cases of male patients with asymptomatic, non-orthostatic nephrotic proteinuria first detected during screening for an acute condition. A...
