The presence of gastroesophageal varices (GEVs) following Fontan surgery (FS) could not be predicted by blood biochemical indices and other clinical factors, and contrast‐enhanced CT or MRI can be useful for surveying GEVs in patients following FS. ABSTRACT Objectives Liver cirrhosis (LC) is a common complication of Fontan surgery (FS) because of the ...

Percutaneous Embolization of Congenital Portosystemic Venous Fistula in an Infant with Down Syndrome [PDF]
Congenital intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunts are rare vascular malformations often associated with severe complications. We describe a term male infant with Down syndrome with high output heart failure secondary to a congenital arterial to portal ...

Shunt-capacitor-assisted synchronization of oscillations in intrinsic Josephson junctions stack [PDF]
We show that shunt capacitor stabilizes synchronized oscillations in intrinsic Josephson junction stacks biased by DC current. This synchronization mechanism has an effect similar to the previously discussed radiative coupling between junctions, however, it is not defined by the geometry of the stack.

Automating Vascular Shunt Insertion with the dVRK Surgical Robot [PDF]
Vascular shunt insertion is a fundamental surgical procedure used to temporarily restore blood flow to tissues. It is often performed in the field after major trauma. We formulate a problem of automated vascular shunt insertion and propose a pipeline to perform Automated Vascular Shunt Insertion (AVSI) using a da Vinci Research Kit. The pipeline uses a

ABSTRACT Background Hypophosphatemia is commonly observed in unselected human intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and it has been associated, although inconsistently, with worse outcomes and longer duration of hospitalization (DOH). The incidence of hypophosphatemia and its association with mortality and DOH in ICU canine patients is unknown ...

Computed tomography angiography of a congenital extrahepatic splenocaval shunt in a foal
Congenital portosystemic shunts in foals are rare and only a small number of cases have been described. Detailed description of the course of the shunt is lacking in earlier reports.

Ammonia : this is not the end but rather the end of the beginning [PDF]
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) represents a wide spectrum of neurological or neuropsychological symptoms caused by liver disease and/or portosystemic shunts.

A Note on Branch Flow Models with Line Shunts [PDF]
When the shunt elements in the Pi circuit line model are assumed zero, it has been proved that branch flow models are equivalent to bus injection models and that the second-order cone relaxation of optimal power flow problems on a radial network is exact under certain conditions.

Abstract Objective To report 30‐day survival of cats that experienced postattenuation neurologic signs (PANS) after surgical attenuation of a single congenital portosystemic shunt (cPSS), and to investigate prognostic factors for short‐term survival. Study design Multi‐institutional retrospective study.

Background Congenital portosystemic shunt (CPSS) is a rare malformation that leads to hyperammonemia, hypermanganesemia, and various symptoms. CPSSs are divided into intrahepatic and extrahepatic shunts.
