A rare cause of congenital portosystemic shunt: type 2 Abernethy malformation [PDF]
The Abernethy malformation is characterised by congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunts and is divided into two groups according to the type of anastomosis.

Semi-shunt field emission in electronic devices [PDF]
We introduce a concept of semi-shunts representing needle shaped metallic protrusions shorter than the distance between a device electrodes. Due to the lightening rod type of field enhancement, they induce strong electron emission. We consider the corresponding signature effects in photovoltaic applications; they are: low open circuit voltages and ...

Real-time Informative Surgical Skill Assessment with Gaussian Process Learning [PDF]
Endoscopic Sinus and Skull Base Surgeries (ESSBSs) is a challenging and potentially dangerous surgical procedure, and objective skill assessment is the key components to improve the effectiveness of surgical training, to re-validate surgeons' skills, and to decrease surgical trauma and the complication rate in operating rooms. Because of the complexity

Could there be light at the end of the tunnel? Mesocaval shunting for refractory esophageal varices in patients with contraindications to transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. [PDF]
Cirrhotic patients with recurrent variceal bleeds who have failed prior medical and endoscopic therapies and are not transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt candidates face a grim prognosis with limited options.

Dynamics of electronic transport in a semiconductor superlattice with a shunting side layer [PDF]
We study a model describing electronic transport in a weakly-coupled semiconductor superlattice with a shunting side layer. Key parameters include the lateral size of the superlattice, the connectivity between the quantum wells of the superlattice and the shunt layer, and the conduction properties of the shunt layer.

Surgical Temporal Action-aware Network with Sequence Regularization for Phase Recognition [PDF]
To assist surgeons in the operating theatre, surgical phase recognition is critical for developing computer-assisted surgical systems, which requires comprehensive understanding of surgical videos. Although existing studies made great progress, there are still two significant limitations worthy of improvement.

Neuropsychological Aspects of Liver Disease and its Treatment [PDF]
Liver disease can lead to serious impairment in cognitive functioning, through the development of a condition known as hepatic encephalopathy (HE). While gross impairment is clinically obvious, milder variants of the condition may escape detection at ...
