AI Thread Summary
Proximal and distal displacements of stents refer to the unintended movement of stents from their intended position either towards the beginning (proximal) or the end (distal) of the vessel after placement. The discussion emphasizes the importance of clarifying whether the question pertains to displacement during the initial placement in the operating room or post-placement movement. Factors contributing to these displacements include the technique used during insertion, the characteristics of the stent, and the anatomical features of the vessel. Understanding these aspects is crucial for improving stent placement outcomes and minimizing complications.

Could you be a little more specific in your question? Do you mean during placement of the stent in the O.R., or do you mean movement of the stent after placement? Where have you been hearing about this?

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
