Dusting for the Fingerprints of Planet Formation (DustPrints)

Date du début: 1 mars 2017, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2022,

With close to 2000 detected planets, it is striking that we still do not understand how planets form. Their building blocks form in gas disks around young stars, where colliding dust grains form ever-larger aggregates. But this growth is not without limits: larger particles quickly drift towards the star and collide at speeds that shatter them to pieces, long before gravity can bind them together....

Paraplegia Prevention in Aortic Aneurysm Repair by Thoracoabdominal Staging with ‘Minimally-Invasive Segmental Artery Coil-Embolization’: A Randomized Controlled Multicentre Trial (PAPA-ARTIS)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2017, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2021,

Chronic aortic aneurysms are permanent and localized dilations of the aorta that remain asymptomatic for long periods of time but continue to increase in diameter before they eventually rupture. Left untreated, the patients’ prognosis is dismal, since the internal bleeding of the rupture brings about sudden death. Although successful treatment cures the disease, the risky procedures can result in ...
