Numerical investigation of steady air injection flow to control rotating stall in centrifugal compressors by Halawa, Taher

“…Results showed that the best injection method is when using an injection angle of 30° with injection mass flow rate of 1.5% of the design mass flow rate and the worst injection method is the injection at angle of 180° (reverse tangent injection). Results also indicated that by using air injection, the number of stalled diffuser passages is decreased compared to the case of no injection. …”

National trends of outcomes in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) through transapical versus endovascular approach: From the National Inpatient Sample (NIS). by Abugroun, Ashraf

“…Among the endovascular-TAVR group, national trends showed a diminishing incidence of procedural mortality (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.77; 95% CI: 0.72-0.84, p < 0.001), stroke (IRR 0.80; 95% CI: 0.73-0.87, p < 0.001), and all secondary outcomes, but no significant change in myocardial infarction. In contrast, most transapical-TAVR related procedural complications remained unchanged over time, except for a significant decrease in stroke, acute respiratory failure and need for pacemaker insertion. …”
