INTRODUCTION This case report aims to inform pancreatic surgeons about our perioperative management of intrahepatic portal vein thrombosis caused by an obstruction of hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). CASE PRESENTATION A 65-year-old woman was diagnosed with pancreas head carcinoma involving the superior mesenteric vein (SMV). Pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with SM...

The HJ biplot is a multivariate analysis technique that allows us to represent both individuals and variables in space of reduced dimensions. To adapt this approach massive datasets, it necessary implement new techniques are capable reducing the dimensionality data improving interpretation. Because this, we propose modern obtaining called elastic net biplot, which applies penalty improve interp...

Abstract Background After major bile duct injury (BDI), hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) is usually required. This can lead to good long-term patency but anastomotic stricture unfortunately remains common cause of morbidity after BDI. Although risk factors for adverse outcomes BDI repair are reasonably well understood, there a need assimilate high level evidence establish specifically development HJ Me...

Carbon nanotube heterojunctions (HJs), which seamlessly connect nanotubes of different chiral structure using a small number of atomic-scale defects, represent the ultimate scaling of electronic interfaces. Here we report the first electrical transport measurements on a HJ formed between semiconducting and metallic nanotubes of known chiralities. These measurements reveal asymmetric IV-characte...

In this paper, we consider the following problem: maxx∈D{ ∑m j=1 gj(x)/hj(x)}, where gj(x) ≥ 0 and hj (x) > 0, j = 1, · · · ,m are d.c. (difference of convex) functions over a convex compact set D in Rn. We reformulate it into a problem of maximizing a linear objective function over a feasible region defined by multiple reverse convex functions. Several favorable properties are presented and a ...
