Multiple communicating cysts of the biliary tree, or Caroli's disease (Caroli, 1958), may represent a rare variant of the less uncommon choledochal cyst (Esguerra-Gomez and RiverosGamboa, 1965). Reviewing 500 cases of choledochal cyst, Lee (1969) quotes only one of multiple cysts (Engle and Salmon, 1964). Of three cases similar to the one reported here one presented at the age of 43 with acute ...

We investigate the thermal conductivity in the armchair and zigzag MoS2 nanoribbons, by combining the non-equilibrium Green's function approach and the first-principles method. A strong orientation dependence is observed in the thermal conductivity. Particularly, the thermal conductivity for the armchair MoS2 nanoribbon is about 673.6 Wm(-1) K(-1) in the armchair nanoribbon, and 841.1 Wm(-1) K(...

The engineering of non-trivial topology in superconducting heterostructures is a very challenging task. Reducing the number components system would facilitate creation long-sought Majorana bound states. Here, we explore route toward emergent trivial superconductor without need for other proximitized materials. Specifically, show that vortex hosting an even flux quanta capable forming quasi-one-...

In a Type II superconductor, the vortex core behaves like normal metal. Consequently, single-particle density of states in conventional superconductor remains either flat or (for very clean single crystals) exhibits peak at zero bias due to formation Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon bound state inside core. Here we report an unusual observation from scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements weakly ...

Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon (CdGM) states are localized with a discrete energy spectrum bound to the core of vortices in superconductors. In topological superconductors, CdGM predicted coexist zero-energy, chargeless widely known as Majorana zero modes (MZMs). Due their difference, current experiments rely on scanning tunneling spectroscopy methods distinguish between them. This work shows that e...

CONTEXT Caroli's disease is a rare congenital disorder first described by Caroli in 1958. This abnormality consists of non-obstructive, saccular or fusiform dilation of the intrahepatic bile ducts resulting in cystic lesions; similar abnormalities may also occur in the kidneys and pancreas. CASE REPORT We illustrate the role of enhanced mangafodipir trisodium magnetic resonance imaging in a p...
