It has been a long journey requiring almost ten years of preclinical research since the first in man TAVR in 2002. Five more years of clinical trials followed, before "Conformité Européene" (CE) mark- ing and clinical use initiation in Europe.展开更多

To highlight Lebanese higher education students' youth's expectations of their future wealth, one should understand the four main factors that affect youth's hopes and aspirations: social, financial, cultural, and educational. Questionnaires are used to identify and assess how young individuals perceive their future wealth expectations. The developed surveys provide useful and reliable data to analyze the effects of many factors on wealth expectations and outcomes for youth. The collected information is of particular importance for identifying and assessing how factors shape wealth expectations and outcomes for youth. The samples used in this research analysis are restricted to college students only. The research findings shed light on the most crucial variables/factors that should be studied and analyzed. Once these factors are pinpointed and explained, a clear idea about higher education students' wealth expectations is formed. Short- and long-term expectations are taken into consideration and evaluated to formulate a basic idea about Lebanese youth.展开更多
