The patient is a previously healthy 52-year-old woman who presented with dyspepsia for two months. Multiple imaging modalities including ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed diffuse bile duct dilatation with an obstructive lesion of the distal extrahepatic biliary duct (EHD) as well as two masses in the peripancreatic area. The peripancreatic masses ...

Content based image retrieval (CBIR) system is broadly used for searching and browsing images from a large database by extracting the visual content of the images. Image database is build by feature vectors corresponding to texture, color, shape and spatial features. The MPEG-7 standards provide standardized tools to describe and search audio and video contents. In this paper we apply the edge ...

Membranes form elaborate structures that are highly tailored to their specialized cellular functions, yet the mechanisms by which these structures are shaped remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the conserved membrane-remodeling C-terminal Eps15 Homology Domain (EHD) protein Past1 is required for the normal assembly of the subsynaptic muscle membrane reticulum (SSR) at the Drosophila me...

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) conduction pumping is associated with the heterocharge layers of finite thickness in the vicinity of the electrodes, generated by the process of dissociation of the neutral electrolytic species and recombination of the generated ions. EHD conduction generated flow relies primarily upon the asymmetry of the electrodes where the flow is always directed toward the specifi...

We applied a participatory design approach to define the objectives, characteristics, and features of a "data profiling" tool for primary care Electronic Health Data (EHD). Through three participatory design workshops, we collected input from potential tool users who had experience working with EHD. We present 15 recommended features and characteristics for the data profiling tool. From these r...

The purpose of this research was to produce multi-dimensional scaffolds containing biocompatible particles and fibres. To achieve this, two techniques were combined and used: T-Junction microfluidics and electrohydrodynamic (EHD) processing. The former was used to form layers of monodispersed bovine serum albumin (BSA) bubbles, which upon drying formed porous scaffolds. By altering the T-Juncti...

EHD printing of discrete conducting polymer arrays, bridging the electrodes for highly sensitive chemiresistive gas sensors.

In this work, a numerical model for the simulation of two-phase electrohydrodynamic (EHD) problems is proposed. It characterized by physically consistent treatment surface tension as well jump in electric material properties. The formulation based on finite element method enriched with special shape functions, capable accurate capturing discontinuities both fluid pressure and gradient potential...
