Extrahepatic bile duct cancer is an uncommon disease, and few cases are curable by surgery.We report a case of extrahepatic biliary cystadenocarcinoma (BCAC) associated with atrophy of the left Latex Gloves hepatic lobe.A 54-year old male was admitted with painless obstructive jaundice and a hepatic palpable mass noticed one month before presentati
Efficiently regulating the electrochromic behavior of naphthalene-diimide-based zirconium-organic frameworks through linker installation
Abstract Redox-active metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have already demonstrated their unique advantages in the field of electrochromism over the past decade.However, controlling and modulating the electrochromic behaviors in specific MOFs remains a significant challenge, as most of the cases reported so far are achieved by designing and constructin
Application of the Theory of Critical Distance (TCD) to the Breakage of Cardboard Cutting Blades in Al7075 Alloy
The study presented in this paper was undertaken in response to two instances of unexpected blade breakage in the cutting blade used in a Carton Wrap machine (CW).Failure of the Al7075 alloy blade occurred at an indentation during typical operational loading conditions.Subsequent metallographic examinations of the fractured samples confirmed that b
God and the Fate of Man
Human destiny itself is foremost a religious problem because, paradoxically, it stems from a distinctive sense of disbelief, or more precisely, from a radical disagreement with the randomness of life.The latter bears a resemblance to meaninglessness insufferable for Measuring Cups human beings.On the other hand, fate presupposes a profound belief t
Energy Saving in Permanent Cardiac Pacing: Pulse Waveform and Charge Balancing Deserve Consideration
The pacing pulse produced by implantable stimulators can be described as a truncated exponential decay from the starting peak amplitude, corresponding to the discharge of the output stage capacitance (reservoir and isolation capacitors, in series) along the application time.Pulse decay and charge balancing have relevant implications on the ideal se
