Idiopathic Intrahepatic Cholestasis as an Unusual Presentation of Hodgkin’s Disease by Hande Atalay, Banu Boyuk, Muhammet Ates, Aslan Celebi, Ismail Ekizoglu, Arzu A. Didik, Aysenur A. Igdem

“…Herein we report the diagnosis of mixed type HL-related idiopathic intrahepatic cholestasis in a 73-year-old man presenting with jaundice, after the inguinal lymph node biopsy indicative of mixed cellular type HL and liver biopsy consistent with intrahepatic cholestasis, following several diagnostic interventions including surgery for suspected extrahepatic obstructive cholestasis. Our findings emphasize the value of early liver biopsy in the diagnostic algorithm along with consideration of HL-related idiopathic intrahepatic cholestasis as a diagnosis of exclusion in cholestatic jaundice of obscure origin.…”

The resource theory of tensor networks by Matthias Christandl, Vladimir Lysikov, Vincent Steffan, Albert H. Werner, Freek Witteveen

“…We show that there are transformations between entanglement structures which go beyond edge-by-edge conversions, highlighting efficiency gains of our resource theory that mirror those obtained in the search for better matrix multiplication algorithms. We also provide obstructions to the existence of such transformations by extending a variety of methods originally developed in algebraic complexity theory for obtaining complexity lower bounds. …”
