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 ...

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.
