We investigate the perturbation in the tunneling current caused by nonadiabatic mechanical motion in a mesoscopic tunnel junction. A theory introduced by Caroli et al.1–3 is used to evaluate second order self-energy corrections for this non-equilibrium situation lacking translational invariance. Inelastic signatures of the mechanical degrees of freedom are found in the current-voltage I(V ) cha...

Caroli disease (CD) is a rare congenital malformation of the liver characterized by non-obstructive, segmental, cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts (IHDs). The clinical course is usually asymptomatic for the first 5-20 years, and symptoms may seldom occur throughout the patient's life. Bile stagnation leads to recurrent episodes of cholangitis, stone formation, or liver abscesses, ...

A 33-year old female was admitted to the hospital presented with right hypochondrium abdominal pain and jaundice. Abdominal ultrasonography showed multiple saccular dilatations of the intrahepatic biliary tract. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography was performed (Figure 1A) showing nonobstructive saccular or fusiform dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts and choledochal cyst. Also...

The notion of the Planckian dissipation is extended to system Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon discrete energy levels in vortex core superconductors and fermionic superfluids. In this extension, Planck takes place when relaxation time $\tau$ comparable with quantum Heisenberg $t_H=\hbar/\Delta E$, where $\Delta E$ interlevel distance (the minigap). This type has two important physical consequences. Fi...

Biliary papillomatosis is exceedingly rare. Only sporadic cases were reported since the first description of this disease by Caroli in 1959. The disease is characterized by multiple and recurrent papillary adenoma in the biliary tree. Jaundice and cholangitis are ususally the main presenting symptoms. Although biliary papillomatosis is generally considered a benign disease, varying degree of dy...

Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are one of the common visceral aneurysms. However giant SAA have barely been reported. We discuss a case SAA, who had prior history caroli disease at stage secondary biliary cirrhosis for which he was candidate liver transplantation. The patient underwent open surgical repair. proximal and distal spenic were ligated from within aneurysm surgery completed with sple...

The quasiparticle excitation spectrum of an isolated vortex in a clean layered d-wave superconductor is calculated, using both the Bogoliubov–de Gennes and the quasiclassical Eilenberger equations. Analytical solutions are obtained within the model of step-variation of the gap function, adjusting the Caroli, de Gennes and Matricon approach for low-lying excitations in cuprates. A large peak in ...
