Virtual Endovascular Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms: Models and Uncertainty
Virtual endovascular treatment models (VETMs) have been developed with the view to aid interventional neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons to pre-operatively analyse the comparative efficacy and safety of endovascular treatments for intracranial aneurysms. Current deterministic computational simulations need to be extended with strategies for uncertainty mitigation, uncertainty exploration, and sensitivity reduction techniques.
Ketosis Mimics the Life Span Expanding Powers of Caloric Restriction
Mechanisms of the action for ketosis in aging and extending life span are proposed in a recent review.
