The paper presents an update on the mechanisms for enhanced hepatic vascular resistance to the portal circulation underlying the pathogenesis of portal hypertension in liver cirrhosis.In addition to gross hepatic structural disorders related to diffuse gotrax rear fender fibrosis and formation of regenerative nodules, the morphofunctional rearrange
Simultaneous multiple fracturing is a key technology to facilitate the production of shale oil/gas.When multiple hydraulic fractures propagate simultaneously, there is an interaction effect among these propagating hydraulic fractures, known as the stress-shadow effect, which has a significant impact on the fracture geometry.Understanding and contro
A 15-year-old boy was pickudi referred to our hospital for further investigation and treatment of sternal osteomyelitis due to blunt chest trauma, more specifically elbowing during a basketball game 19 days earlier.On an initial presentation, his chest was markedly swollen and chest computed tomography demonstrated a sternal fracture and massive fl
Most wearable activity recognition systems assume a predefined sensor deployment that remains unchanged during runtime.However, this assumption does not reflect real-life conditions.During the normal use of such systems, users may place the sensors in a position different from the predefined sensor placement.Also, sensors may move from their origin
