DOTTED COLLAR PLACED AROUND CAROTID ARTERY INDUCES ASYMMETRIC NEOINTIMAL LESION FORMATION IN RABBITS WITHOUT INTRAVASCULAR MANIPULATIONS

Dotted collar placed around carotid artery induces asymmetric neointimal lesion formation in rabbits without intravascular manipulations

Abstract Background Neointimal formation in atherosclerosis has been subject for intense research.However, good animal models mimicking asymmetrical lesion formation in human subjects have been difficult to establish.The aim of this study was to develop a model which would lead to Pet Bowls the formation of eccentric lesions under macroscopically i

Pac-Man-Shaped Patch-Driven Broadband Circularly Polarized Metasurface Antenna With CMA-Based Quadruple-Mode Excitation

This paper introduces a novel quadruple-mode excited low-profile metasurface (MTS)-based broadband circularly polarized (CP) patch antenna.For a quadruple-mode excitation, the antenna uses a unique pac-man-shaped patch (PSP) as the primary CP radiator and above it a $4 imes 4$ sized rectangular MTS, which acts as the secondary radiator.Characterist
