We present \(H\)-band observations of \(\beta\) Pic with the Gemini Planet Imager's (GPI's) polarimetry mode that reveal the debris disk between ~0.3" (~6 AU) and ~1.7" (~33 AU), while simultaneously ...detecting \(\beta\) Pic \(b\). The polarized disk image was fit with a dust density model combined with a Henyey-Greenstein scattering phase function. The best fit model indicates a disk inclined to the line of sight (\(\phi=85.27{\deg}^{+0.26}_{-0.19}\)) with a position angle \(\theta_{PA}=30.35{\deg}^{+0.29}_{-0.28}\) (slightly offset from the main outer disk, \(\theta_{PA}\approx29{\deg}\)), that extends from an inner disk radius of \(23.6^{+0.9}_{-0.6}\) AU to well outside GPI's field of view. In addition, we present an updated orbit for \(\beta\) Pic \(b\) based on new astrometric measurements taken in GPI's spectroscopic mode spanning 14 months. The planet has a semi-major axis of \(a=9.2^{+1.5}_{-0.4}\)AU, with an eccentricity \(e\leq 0.26\). The position angle of the ascending node is \(\Omega=31.75{\deg}\pm0.15\), offset from both the outer main disk and the inner disk seen in the GPI image. The orbital fit constrains the stellar mass of \(\beta\) Pic to \(1.60\pm0.05 M_{\odot}\). Dynamical sculpting by \(\beta\) Pic \(b\) cannot easily account for the following three aspects of the inferred disk properties: 1) the modeled inner radius of the disk is farther out than expected if caused by \(\beta\) Pic b; 2) the mutual inclination of the inner disk and \(\beta\) Pic \(b\) is \(4{\deg}\), when it is expected to be closer to zero; and 3) the aspect ratio of the disk (\(h_0 = 0.137^{+0.005}_{-0.006}\)) is larger than expected from interactions with \(\beta\) Pic \(b\) or self-stirring by the disk's parent bodies.
While splenic vein obstruction is a well-described feature of chronic pancreatitis, analogous occlusion of the superior mesenteric and/or portal veins (SMV-PV) has not been appreciated. We present 14 ...instances of SMV-PV obstruction in patients with proved chronic pancreatitis without cancer. Portal hypertension was first suspected because of variceal bleeding (4/14) or unexpected varices at laparotomy (10/14). The angiographic appearance mimicked that of pancreatic cancer. The splenic vein was also occluded in eight of the 13 patients who had angiograms. The liver was normal in all 14 cases. The clinical importance of SMV-PV occlusion in chronic pancreatitis lies in (1) its presentation by variceal bleeding, (2) the probable necessity for nonshunting means of control for bleeding varices, (3) the increased difficulty of operations on the pancreas because of portal hypertension, and (4) the possible confusion with pancreatic cancer.
Presented is a patient with primary sclerosing cholangitis, extrahepatic bile duct obstruction, and associated occlusion of the main portal vein, who was treated by peripheral biliary drainage. ...Radiological follow-up showed considerable improvement of the ductal strictures and bile excretion through the normal anatomical route. The patient remains well and anicteric 60 months after surgery.
On the moon and other airless bodies, ballistically emplaced ejecta transitions from a thinning, continuous inner deposit to become discontinuous beyond approximately one crater radius from the ...crater rim and can further break into discrete rays and secondary craters. In contrast, on Mars, ejecta often form continuous, distinct, and sometimes thick deposits that transition to a low ridge or escarpment that may be circular or lobate. The Martian ejecta type has been variously termed pancake, rampart, lobate, or layered, and in this work we refer to it as abrupt termini ejecta (ATE). Two main formation mechanisms have been proposed, one requiring interaction of the ejecta with the atmosphere and the other mobilization of near-surface volatiles. ATE morphologies are also unambiguously seen on Ganymede, Europa, Dione, and Tethys, but they are not as common as on Mars. We have identified up to 38 craters on Charon that show signs of ATE, including possible distal ramparts and lobate margins. These ejecta show morphologic and morphometric similarities with other moons in the solar system, which are a subset of the properties observed on Mars. From comparison of these ejecta on Charon and other solar system bodies, we find the strongest support for subsurface volatile mobilization and ejecta fluidization as the main formation mechanism for the ATE, at least on airless, icy worlds. This conclusion comes from the bodies on which they are found, an apparent preference for certain terrains, and the observation that craters with ATE can be near to similarly sized craters that only have gradational ejecta.
The diagnosis of silicatosis was made by observing birefringent crystals in needle-aspiration biopsy specimens of bilateral basilar pulmonary masses in a clay worker, initially suspected of having ...metastatic neoplasm. Subsequently the crystals were examined by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray analysis, which gave supportive evidence for their silicate composition. This experience indicates that needle-aspiration biopsy in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray analysis may be used in the diagnosis of benign pulmonary diseases, especially those of the inhalational fibrogenic variety.
