    Abstract Background and purpose: Achieving complete recanalization with the front-line endovascular thrombectomy device improves the outcome of acute stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether various thrombectomy techniques including contact aspiration, stent retriever thrombectomy, and combination therapy differ in first-pass effect and distal emboli in acute large-vessel occlusion simulated using 3D printed nontortuous and tortuous cerebrovascular anatomy models.
    Materials and methods: 3D printed flow models were manufactured using angiographic data of nontortuous and acutely angulated tortuous vascular anatomy from real patients. Three thrombectomy techniques, contact aspiration, stent retriever, and combined methods, were tested under proximal protection with the balloon-guiding catheter. The first-pass effect and distal emboli rates were analyzed in addition to the thrombectomy-failure mechanisms of the respective techniques.
    Results: A total of 30 thrombectomy experiments were performed. The overall incidence of first-pass effect in the nontortuous and tortuous anatomy was 80.0% versus 46.7%. The overall incidence of distal emboli in the nontortuous and tortuous anatomy was 26.7% versus 46.7%. The contact aspiration technique showed better first-pass effect (80.0%) and distal emboli rates (20%) in the tortuous model compared with other techniques. The combined technique did not show remarkable superiority of the first-pass effect and distal emboli in either the nontortuous or tortuous anatomy. Shearing off of the thrombus was the main mechanism of thrombectomy failure in the combined group.
    Conclusions: The tortuous vascular anatomy may worsen the first-pass effect and distal emboli rates. The combined techniques failed to show improvement in outcome due to the shearing-off phenomenon of the thrombus during retrieval.

    Abstract A method for the reciprocal space treatment of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM) images has been developed. Named "Absolute strain" (AbStrain), it allows for quantification and mapping of interplanar distances and angles, displacement fields and strain tensor components with reference to a user-defined Bravais lattice and with their corrections from the image distortions specific to HR-TEM and HR-STEM imaging. We provide the corresponding mathematical formalism. AbStrain goes beyond the restriction of the existing method known as geometric phase analysis by enabling direct analysis of the area of interest without the need for reference lattice fringes of a similar crystal structure on the same field of view. In addition, for the case of a crystal composed of two or more types of atoms, each with its own sub-structure constraint, we developed a method named "Relative displacement" for extracting sub-lattice fringes associated to one type of atom and measuring atomic columns displacements associated to each sub-structure with reference to a Bravais lattice or to another sub-structure. The successful application of AbStrain and Relative displacement to HR-STEM images of functional oxide ferroelectric heterostructures is demonstrated.

    Abstract A new approach to high performance current to voltage preamplifier design is presented. The design using multiple operational amplifiers (op-amps) has a parasitic capacitance compensation network and a composite amplifier topology for fast, precision, and low noise performance. The input stage consisting of a parallel linked JFET op-amps and a high-speed bipolar junction transistor (BJT) gain stage driving the output in the composite amplifier topology, cooperating with the capacitance compensation feedback network, ensures wide bandwidth stability in the presence of input capacitance above 40 nF. The design is ideal for any two-probe measurement, including high impedance transport and scanning tunneling microscopy measurements.

    Abstract Background and purpose: High-resolution vessel wall MR imaging is prone to slow-flow artifacts, particularly when gadolinium shortens the T1 relaxation time of blood. This study aimed to determine the optimal preparation pulses for contrast-enhanced high-resolution vessel wall MR imaging.
    Materials and methods: Fifty patients who underwent both motion-sensitized driven equilibrium and delay alternating with nutation for tailored excitation (DANTE) preparation pulses with contrast-enhanced 3D-T1-FSE were retrospectively included. Qualitative analysis was performed using a 4-grade visual scoring system for black-blood performance in the small-sized intracranial vessels, overall image quality, severity of artifacts, and the degree of blood suppression in all cortical veins as well as transverse sinuses. Quantitative analysis of the M1 segment of the MCA was also performed.
    Results: The qualitative analysis revealed that motion-sensitized driven equilibrium demonstrated a significantly higher black-blood score than DANTE in contrast-enhanced 3D-T1-FSE of the A3 segment (3.90 versus 3.58,
    Conclusions: Motion-sensitized driven equilibrium demonstrated improved blood suppression on contrast-enhanced 3D-T1-FSE in the small intracranial arteries and veins compared with DANTE. Motion-sensitized driven equilibrium is a useful preparation pulse for high-resolution vessel wall MR imaging to decrease venous contamination and suppress slow-flow artifacts when using contrast enhancement.

    Abstract Background and purpose: The efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy methods may differ depending on the characteristics of the occlusion. The purpose of this study was to compare the recanalization efficacy and treatment outcome of a stent retriever versus contact aspiration in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion according to the angiographic characteristics of the occlusion.
    Materials and methods: One hundred sixty-one patients with acute basilar artery occlusion who underwent mechanical thrombectomy were retrospectively analyzed. A stent retriever was compared with contact aspiration thrombectomy according to the clot meniscus sign, defined as a meniscoid/tram-track-like sidewall contrast opacification of the thrombus. A propensity score matching analysis was performed. Clinical/angiographic characteristics and treatment and clinical outcomes were compared.
    Results: Overall, a stent retriever (
    Conclusions: The efficacy of the mechanical thrombectomy techniques may differ according to the angiographic characteristics of occlusion in patients with basilar artery occlusion. Contact aspiration may be more effective in terms of recanalization compared with a stent retriever in patients with the clot meniscus sign.

    Abstract To compare the diagnosis andtreatment rates of osteoporosis and diabetes in Korea, a nationwide database was used. The results showed that although osteoporosis management is improving, it is still lower compared with that of diabetes; thus, further efforts are needed in this regard.
    Introduction: This study aimed to re-evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis from the KNHANES 2016-2017 and compare the temporal change of the rate with those of diabetes as another prevalent chronic disease in South Korea.
    Methods: The prevalence of osteoporosis in 2016 was estimated using the previous data classified by age groups (50-59,60-69, and ≥70years) and the 2016 Korean census data. The physician diagnosis and treatment rates of osteoporosis in adults aged ≥50years were estimated using the 2016-2017 KNHANES data. The physician diagnosis and treatment rates of diabetes were evaluated using the KNHANES 2008-2009 and 2016-2017 data.
    Results: The estimated physician diagnosisrate of osteoporosis increased from 29.9% in females and 5.8% in males in 2008-2009 to 62.8% in females and 22.8% in males in 2016-2017. The treatment rate for the estimated total number of patients with osteoporosis increased from 14.4% in females and 3.8% in males in 2008-2009 to 32.2% in females and 9.0% in males in 2016-2017. An increasing trend in the estimated treatment rateof physician-diagnosed osteoporosis patients was not observed (48.3% [2008-2009] vs 51.5% [2016-2017] in females; 42.6% [2008-2009] vs 42.2% [2016-2017] in males). The physician diagnosis and treatment rates of diabetes were considerably better and more stable than those of osteoporosis.
    Conclusion: Osteoporosis management in South Korea is improving but is insufficient compared with diabetes management. More extensive efforts are needed to improve the diagnosis and treatment rates of osteoporosis.

    Abstract A simple method for generating a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) mode optical vortex beam with well-determined handedness in a single-frequency solid state laser end-pumped by a ring-shaped pump beam is reported. After investigating the intensity profile and the wavefront helicity of each longitudinal mode output to understand generation of the LG mode in a Nd:YVO4 laser resonator, selection of the wavefront handedness has been achieved simply by inserting and tilting an etalon in the resonator, which breaks the propagation symmetry of the Poynting vectors with opposite helicity. Simple calculation and the experimental results are discussed for supporting this selection mechanism.
