PORTAL VEIN TlIROMBOSIS (PVT) or thrombosis of its tributaries has been a formidable surgical challenge in orthotopic hepatic transplantation (OHT). At one time, PVT was considered a relative contraindication for OHT. However, refinements of the technique to reconstruct the portal vein after thrombosis have included venous grafting procedures (1, 2). The technique of the venous "jump" graft fro...

We propose a new portal coupling to dark matter by taking advantage of the nonminimally coupled sector Ricci scalar. Such conformally induces couplings trace energy-momentum tensor matters including highly secluded particles. The is so feeble that produced freeze-in processes scatterings and/or decay mediator. consider two concrete realizations portal: induced Higgs and mediator portal. former ...

The aim of this cadaveric study was to assess the relative safety of posterior ankle arthroscopy portal sites regarding their distance from the tibial and sural nerves. We dissected 20 embalmed cadaveric lower limbs, carefully exposed the nerves, preserving their original position, and established the entry points of five posterior ankle portals using pins. We measured distances with a digital ...

We conducted a qualitative study of the attitudes of teens and parents toward the use of a patient portal. We conducted two teen and two parent focus groups, one teen electronic bulletin board, and one parent electronic bulletin board. Videotapes and transcripts from the groups were independently analyzed by two reviewers for significant themes, which were then validated by two other members of...

Portal vein aneurysm is a relatively uncommon entity. It is often an incidental, asymptomatic nding. With the increasing availability of advanced imaging modalities like Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, portal venous system aneurysms are being increasingly reported. We report two cases of intra hepatic portal vein aneurysm diagnosed incidentally on ultra-...
