Magnetic resonance angiography in diagnostic long-term follow-up of primary patency of the MOTIV drug-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold in the region below the knee: 5 years... by Christian Nasel, Mario Kirschner, Karoline Rizzi, Nicola Schweinhammer, Ewald Moser

“…<h4>Purpose</h4>Treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the region below the knee (BTK) is dissatisfying as failure of treated target lesions (TLF) is frequent and diagnostic imaging is often challenging. In the BTK-region metallic drug-eluting stents (mDES) yielded best results concerning primary patency (PP), but also annihilate signal in magnetic resonance angiography (MR-A). …”

Analysis of the Criticism and Defense of Feminism in Social Discourse: A Case of Patriarchal Protection in Sports by Carolina Vázquez Rodríguez, Carmen Martínez Martínez, Inés Herás, Maite Martín-Aragón Gelabert, M.ª Carmen Terol Cantero

“…Gender appears as a performative act whose reproduction maintains a tense relationship between what is presented as two different images of women: real/normal versus feminist. Results indicate that the comments reflect deep-rooted attitudes about gender and power, using ambivalent sexism and anti-feminist rhetoric to maintain the status quo, and how corporate sponsorship is presented as a justification mechanism. …”
