The charge state of electrostatically transported dust on regolith surfaces by J. Schwan, X. Wang, H.‐W. Hsu, E. Grün, M. Horányi

“…This result is consistent with our “patched charge model,” which predicts that dust particles forming microcavities in the regolith surfaces can attain large negative charges by collecting photoelectrons and/or secondary electrons emitted from neighboring particles and the resulting repulsive forces between these negatively charged particles lead to their mobilization. …”

Early Rupture of an Ultralow Duodenal Stump after Extended Surgery for Gastric Cancer with Duodenal Invasion Managed by Tube Duodenostomy and Cholangiostomy by Konstantinos Blouhos, Konstantinos A. Boulas, Anna Konstantinidou, Ilias I. Salpigktidis, Stavroula P. Katsaouni, Konstantinos Ioannidis, Anestis Hatzigeorgiadis

“…Duodenal stump rupture was managed successfully by end tube duodenostomy, without omental patching, and tube cholangiostomy. Close assessment of clinical, physical, and radiological signs, output volume, and enzyme concentration of the tube duodenostomy, T-tube, and closed suction drain, which was placed near the tube duodenostomy site to drain the leak around the catheter, dictated postoperative management of the external duodenal fistula.…”
