New perspectives on the development of extrahepatic portosystemic shunts [PDF]
Objective: To develop a hypothesis for the developmental modality of extrahepatic portosystemic shunts. Methods: A retrospective review of a series of dogs and cats managed for congenital portosystemic shunts.

Charging effects in the inductively shunted Josephson junction [PDF]
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.

Portosystemic shunt without surgery [PDF]
Objective. - To determine the effectiveness of the Palmaz balloon expandable stent for the creation of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. The device is designed to achieve portal decompression in patients with variceal hemorrhage secondary to portal hypertension. Design.

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

CONGENITAL PORTOSYSTEMIC VENOUS SHUNTS
Congenital portosystemic venous shunts (CPSS) are a rare group of heterogeneous developmental malformations of the portal and systemic circulation causing blood from the portal system to bypass liver metabolism through various vascular junctions and flow directly into the systemic circulation.

Type II Abernethy Malformation: A Rare Cause of Hepatic Encephalopathy in Adulthood
Abernethy malformation is a rare congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt with variable clinical manifestations, mainly associated with the portosystemic shunt. Hepatic encephalopathy can be the first manifestation.

Dynamics of superconducting nanowires shunted with an external resistor [PDF]
We present the first study of superconducting nanowires shunted with an external resistor, geared towards understanding and controlling coherence and dissipation in nanowires. The dynamics is probed by measuring the evolution of the V-I characteristics and the distributions of switching and retrapping currents upon varying the shunt resistor and ...

Temperature Dependence of Zero-Bias Resistances of a Single Resistance-Shunted Josephson Junction [PDF]
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

Role of kinetic inductance in transport properties of shunted superconducting nanowires [PDF]
Recently transport measurements have been carried out in resistively shunted long superconducting nanowires [M. W. Brenner {\it et. al.}, Phys. Rev. B {\bf{85}}, 224507 (2012)]. The measured voltage-current ($V$-$I$) characteristics was explained by the appearance of the phase slip centers in the shunted wire, and the whole wire was modeled as a single

Abernethy malformation: A comprehensive review
Abernethy malformation is a rare condition in which portomesenteric blood bypasses the liver and drains into the systemic vein through a partial or complete shunt. It is categorised into two types on the basis of the shunt pattern between the portal vein
