Case Report: Type Ib Abernethy malformation.

Congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt, also known as Abernethy malformation, is a rare anatomic vascular malformation. Patients with Abernethy malformation may present with abdominal pain, abnormal liver function tests, hepatopulmonary syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, and/or portosystemic encephalopathy. Accurate identification of the shunt and portal vein and effective management of complications is vital in these patients.

Efficacy of methylprednisolone pulse therapy in Chinese children with IgA vasculitis-associated nephritis (IgAVN).

Background: One of the most common secondary glomerular diseases in children is IgA vasculitis-associated nephritis (IgAVN). Determining the best treatment for IgAVN based on current guidelines is controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of methylprednisolone pulse therapy in Chinese children with moderate and severe IgAVN.

Disentangling Sources of Momentum Fluctuations in Xe+Xe and Pb+Pb Collisions with the ATLAS Detector.

High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [P([p_{T}])]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

Autologous Fat Injection for Rhinoplasty: A Systematic Review of Satisfaction, Reinjection and Fat Retention.

Background: Autologous fat injection has been proposed as a potential alternative to traditional rhinoplasty. However, the technique has been criticized for its disappointing retention and the potential complications associated with underfilling.

Objective: To summarize data on patient satisfaction, retention, complications and reinjection to provide a reference for fat injection for rhinoplasty.
