Cauchy problem for multiscale conservation laws: Application to structured cell populations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
In this paper, we study a vector conservation law that models the growth and selection of ovarian follicles. During each ovarian cycle, only a definite number of follicles ovulate, while the others undergo a degeneration process called atresia. This work is motivated by a multiscale mathematical model starting on the cellular scale, where ovulation or ...

Surgery of Biliary Atresia [PDF]

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Surgery, 2011
Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive fibro-obliterative cholangiopathy of unclear etiology affecting varying degrees of both extra- and intrahepatic biliary tree resulting in obstructive bile flow and cholestasis in neonates. The diagnostic work-up is designed to diagnose or rule out BA without any unnecessary delay.

Physical development and cognitive performance in a monozygotic twins for biliary atresia: Report of a case and literature reviewing

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2016
A case of monozygotic twins, one of whom suffered from biliary atresia and the other one was apparently healthy, is described herein. Children with biliary atresia appear to be vulnerable to developmental lags in the physical and cognitive performance ...

Chemotherapy‐Induced Neuropathy Affecting the Gastrointestinal Tract

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy (with/without immunotherapy/radiotherapy) may induce neurotoxic effects on the gastrointestinal innervation. Chemotherapy‐induced enteric neuropathy (CIEN) and, probably, neurotoxicity affecting the extrinsic innervation of the gut and the brain underlie the frequent and impactful gut dysfunctions and brain–gut axis (BGA) disorders ...

Hepatolithiasis in a 52-year-old native liver survivor with postoperative biliary atresia

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2023
Hepatolithiasis is well known to be a late complication after biliary reconstruction. However, there were few reports regarding hepatolithiasis in late complications of long-term, native liver survivors in postoperative patients of biliary atresia. Here,

On estimation in varying coefficient models for sparse and irregularly sampled functional data [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
In this paper, we study a smoothness regularization method for a varying coefficient model based on sparse and irregularly sampled functional data which is contaminated with some measurement errors. We estimate the one-dimensional covariance and cross-covariance functions of the underlying stochastic processes based on a reproducing kernel Hilbert ...

Surgical complications in human orthotopic liver transplantation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
Between March 1, 1980 and December 31, 1984, 393 orthotopic liver transplantations (OLT) were performed in 313 consecutive recipients. Technical complications were responsible for a substantial morbidity (41/393 allograft loss--10.4%) and mortality (26 ...

Indocyanine green clearance's association with liver function in paediatric liver disease

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, Volume 114, Issue 5, Page 980-985, May 2025.
Abstract Aim Indocyanine green (ICG) clearance, a sensitive biomarker for liver function, has not been validated in children. We assessed the association between ICG clearance and liver function in children with liver disease. Methods ICG plasma disappearance rate (ICG‐PDR, %/min) was measured in children with liver disease. Mixed linear regression was

A Bayesian Approach to Modelling Longitudinal Data in Electronic Health Records [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Analyzing electronic health records (EHR) poses significant challenges because often few samples are available describing a patient's health and, when available, their information content is highly diverse. The problem we consider is how to integrate sparsely sampled longitudinal data, missing measurements informative of the underlying health status ...
