Abernethy malformation: beware in cases of unexplained hepatic encephalopathy in adults-case report and review of the relevant literature [PDF]
The Abernethy malformation consists of a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt and is believed to be extremely rare in humans. The potential implications of abnormal portovenous shunting and decreased hepatic portal flow are numerous and ...

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.

ABSTRACT Background Estimated plasma volume status (ePVS) correlates with intravascular congestion and prognosis in patients with heart failure. The ePVS relationship with invasive hemodynamic profiling and clinical outcomes in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) remains unclear. Methods This single‐center retrospective cohort study included LC patients

Portosystemic Myelopathy: A Rare Neurological Presentation of Portosystemic Shunts [PDF]
Portosystemic myelopathy is an unusual complication in patients with chronic liver disease with hepatic encephalopathy and portosystemic shunts. Here we present a case of 35-year-old male patient who presented to us with difficulty in walking and progressive stiffness in both lower limbs for two months.

Prospective Phase II trial of drug-eluting bead chemoembolization for liver transplant candidates with hepatocellular carcinoma and marginal hepatic reserve. [PDF]
Purpose: To determine whether chemoembolization using drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) is safe and effective for liver transplantation candidates with liver-limited hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) without vascular invasion and baseline hepatic dysfunction ...

A high incidence of native portal vein thrombosis in veterans undergoing liver transplantation [PDF]
The incidence of native portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in liver transplant recipients has been reported to range from 2.1 to 13.8%. We have identified an inordinately high incidence of PVT in a consecutive series of U.S.

Multi-resonant piezoelectric shunting induced by digital controllers for subwavelength elastic wave attenuation in smart metamaterial [PDF]
Instead of analog electronic circuits and components, digital controllers that are capable of active multi-resonant piezoelectric shunting are applied to elastic metamaterials integrated with piezoelectric patches. Giving thanks to the introduced digital control technique, shunting strategies with transfer functions that can hardly be realized with ...
