Liver Graft Failure after Plastic Stent Removal of an Anastomotic Biliary Stricture
A biliary anastomotic stricture developed 13 months after living donor liver transplantation in a 19-year-old male with congenital hepatic fibrosis. Endoscopic management with balloon dilation followed by the placement of a 7F plastic stent was performed

Discontinuous resistance change and domain wall scattering in patterned NiFe wires with a nanoconstriction [PDF]
A nonlinear current-voltage (I-V) characteristic was observed in patterned NiFe wires with a central "bow-tie" point contact constriction. By passing a dc current through the wire, a sharp resistance drop was obtained for current densities in the range ...

A quantum point contact for neutral atoms [PDF]
We show that the conductance of neutral atoms through a tightly confining waveguide constriction is quantized in units of lambda_dB^2/pi, where lambda_dB is the de Broglie wavelength of the incident atoms.

Pericardial Constriction with Severe Mitral Regurgitation: An Uncommon Association
Pericardial constriction is a condition, in which there is a lack of transmission of changes in intrathoracic pressures to the structures encased in pericardium due to thickened, fibrosed, and most of the cases, calcified pericardium.

Violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem in time-dependent mesoscopic heat transport [PDF]
We have analyzed the spectral density of fluctuations of the energy flux through a mesoscopic constriction between two equilibrium reservoirs. It is shown that at finite frequencies, the fluctuating energy flux is not related to the thermal conductance ...

Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is characterized by scarring and loss of elasticity of the pericardium, resulting in external impedance of cardiac filling. In the developed world, CP is most frequently encountered as a consequence of previous cardiac surgery, thoracic irradiation, viral or idiopathic causes.

Endoscopic radial incision and cutting using balloonassisted enteroscopy for small intestinal stenosis related to Crohn’s disease: a pilot study [PDF]
Background/Aims Radial incision and cutting (RIC) is an alternative dilation method for stenosis of the lower gastrointestinal tract. However, its safety and efficacy for the small intestine requiring balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) remain limited ...

Domain-wall dynamics at micropatterned constrictions in ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As epilayers [PDF]
The influence of sub-µm geometric constrictions on 90° magnetic domain-wall nucleation and propagation in stripes of ferromagnetic (Ga0.95,Mn0.05)As was explored.
