The relationship between gastro-oesophageal pressure gradient (GOPG), sliding hiatal hernia (SHH) and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is under investigation. We assessed whether GOPG and SHH are predictors of pathological reflux in severely obese patients.

    We describe a simple limit that emerges when interference is Common, in which the fitness effects of individual mutations play a relatively Minor role. Instead, molecular evolution is determined by the variance in Fitness within the population, defined over an effectively asexual segment of The geno...

    arXiv:1305.2739 [physics.plasm-ph] 13 May 2013

    It is generally accepted that the ion acoustic (IA) wave in plasmas containing ions and electrons with the same temperature is of minor importance due to strong damping of the wave by hot resonant ions. In this work it will be shown that the IA wave is susceptible to excitation even in plasmas with...

    In the sheep liver specimen, volumetric strain decreased with excess portal pressure, whereas shear strain was not sensitive to portal pressure. In the patient cohort, volumetric strain was significantly higher after TIPS placement (P = 1.38·10(-5) ), while neither shear strain nor the shear modulu...
