Bronchobiliary fistula complicating oriental cholangiohepatitis
Bronchio biliary fistula in adults is a rare event defined by the passage of bile into the bronchus and the sputum (biloptysis).Typically these lesions occur in the congenital form, as a result of thoracoabdominal trauma, or in rare instances as a result of iatrogenic injury or long-standing biliary tract disease and obstruction. In this paper, we report a novel case of a fatal bronchobiliary fistula that developed in a 67-year-old Chinese male with Oriental cholangiohepatitis. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a bronchobiliary fistula complicating the clinical management of a patient with this disease
Flavour Physics of Leptons and Dipole Moments.
This chapter of the report of the ``Flavour in the era of the LHC'' Workshop
discusses the theoretical, phenomenological and experimental issues related to
flavour phenomena in the charged lepton sector and in flavour-conserving
CP-violating processes. We review the current experimental limits and the main
theoretical models for the flavour structure of fundamental particles. We
analyze the phenomenological consequences of the available data, setting
constraints on explicit models beyond the Standard Model, presenting benchmarks
for the discovery potential of forthcoming measurements both at the LHC and at
low energy, and exploring options for possible future experiments.Comment: Report of Working Group 3 of the CERN Workshop ``Flavour in the era
