Liver transplantation for the Budd-Chiari syndrome [PDF]
, 1990 A retrospective study was performed that analyzed 23 patients who had an orthotopic liver transplantation for the Budd-Chiari syndrome with end-stage liver disease. Patient follow-up was as long as 14 years.

Surgical Treatment of Portal Hypertension: Review of Henry Ford Hospital Experience [PDF]
, 1970 Of 146 operations performed for the complications of portal hypertension in the Henry Ford Hospital between 1927 and August 31, 1969, 114 were portasystemic shunts. Operative mortality, sequelae and long term survival were closely related to the state of

Pancreatic hormones and amino acid levels following liver transplantation [PDF]
, 1987 Glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia, peripheral insulin resistance and hyperglucagonemia are common in patients with advanced liver disease. These abnormalities in the plasma levels of the pancreatic hormones, insulin and glucagon have been thought to ...

Temperature Dependence of Zero-Bias Resistances of a Single Resistance-Shunted Josephson Junction [PDF]
, 2003 Zero-bias resistances of a single resistance-shunted Josephson junction are calculated as a function of the temperature by means of the path-integral Monte Carlo method in case a charging energy $E_{\rm C}$ is comparable with a Josephson energy $E_{\rm J}$. The low-temperature behavior of the zero-bias resistance changes around $\alpha=R_{\rm Q}/R_{\rm

Charging effects in the inductively shunted Josephson junction [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 217004 (2009), 2009 The choice of impedance used to shunt a Josephson junction determines if the charge transferred through the circuit is quantized: a capacitive shunt renders the charge discrete, whereas an inductive shunt leads to continuous charge. This discrepancy leads to a paradox in the limit of large inductances L.

Liver transplantation in the treatment of bleeding esophageal varices [PDF]
, 1988 From March 1980 to July 1987, 1000 patients with various end-stage liver diseases received orthotopic liver transplants. Of the 1000 patients, three hundred two had definite histories of bleeding from esophageal varices before transplantation. There were

Tunable elastic Parity-Time symmetric structure based on the shunted piezoelectric materials [PDF]
, 2018 We theoretically and numerically report on tunable elastic Parity-Time (PT) symmetric structure based on shunted piezoelectric units. We show that the elastic loss and gain can be archived in piezoelectric materials when they are shunted by external circuits containing positive and negative resistances.
