Magneto-Electric Dipole Antenna Arrays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A planar magneto-electric (ME) dipole antenna array is proposed and demonstrated by both full-wave analysis and experiments. The proposed structure leverages the infinite wavelength propagation characteristic of composite right/left-handed (CRLH ...

Goel′s Teflon sponge internal shunt for anterior spinal arachnoid cyst

open access: yesJournal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2014
We report a case of a 6-year-old boy who presented with progressive quadriparesis and bowel-bladder incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine showed anteriorly located arachnoid cyst in the cervicodorsal region.

Lumbar-peritoneal shunt for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus and secondary normal pressure hydrocephalus

open access: yesTzu Chi Medical Journal, 2022
Objectives: Normal-pressure hydrocephalus is a clinical syndrome consisting of dilated cerebral ventricles with the clinical triad of gait disturbance, cognitive impairment and/or urinary dysfunction. Lumbar-peritoneal (LP) shunt could improve idiopathic

Exciton Transport and Andreev Reflection in a Bilayer Quantum Hall System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We demonstrate that counterflowing electrical currents can move through the bulk of the excitonic quantized Hall phase found in bilayer two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) even as charged excitations cannot.

Health disparities in chronic liver disease

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

Investigation of the hydrodynamic properties of a new MRI-resistant programmable hydrocephalus shunt

open access: yesCerebrospinal Fluid Research, 2008
Background The Polaris valve is a newly released hydrocephalus shunt that is designed to drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain ventricles or lumbar CSF space.

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

Communicating hydrocephalus due to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunt

open access: yesAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2012
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cerebrovascular disease with variable presentation. CVT rarely causes hydrocephalus. Communicating hydrocephalus due to CVT is extremely rare.

Non-invasive assessment of pulsatile intracranial pressure with phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Invasive monitoring of pulsatile intracranial pressure can accurately predict shunt response in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, but may potentially cause complications such as bleeding and infection.

Safety and function of programmable ventriculo-peritoneal shunt valves: An in vitro 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging study.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
ObjectiveThe quantity of ultra-high field MRI neuroimaging studies has rapidly increased. This study tests function, safety, and image artifacts of two frequently implanted programmable ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt valves in a 7T MRI system ...
