The splenic vein has several tributaries, including vascular branches that drain the pancreas, the short gastric veins, and the left gastroepiploic vein. The superior mesenteric vein drains the right ...

Splenic-flexure syndrome is a chronic disorder that may be caused by gas trapped at bends (flexures) in the colon. Crohn's disease, colon cancer, or any disease that causes intestinal obstruction, may ...

The design, identification, and control of a novel, flexure-based, piezoelectric stack-actuated XY nanopositioning stage are presented in this paper. The main goal of the design is to combine the ...

This flexure creates an entrapment point for fines that quickly wear the liner and skirt seal, eventually grooving the belt. With this in mind, the $15,000–$20,000 savings quickly evaporates in ...

Splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma: This is a rare lymphoma. Often the lymphoma is found mainly in the spleen, blood, and bone marrow. It can cause tiredness and discomfort due to an enlarged ...

A trio of scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Université de Lyon, and Arizona State University, respectively, has found that a likely reason flat pancake-like volcanoes form on ...

Venus is home to some of the weirdest volcanoes in the solar system—massive, flattened domes that look like planetary pancakes left to cool on the world’s blistering surface. Scientists have ...

The GMT-Consortium Large Earth Finder (G-CLEF) is one of the first instrument for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). The G-CLEF is a fiber fed, optical band echelle spectrograph that is capable of ...
