Endoscopic Management of a Proximally Migrated Fully Covered SEMS Using the Stent-in-Stent Technique
Endoscopic Management of a Proximally Migrated Fully Covered SEMS Using the Stent-in-Stent Technique: Endoscopic biliary decompression via stent placement is an important approach for the palliative management of distal malignant biliary obstruction. However, migration of the inserted stent can occur, either distally or proximally; proximal migration is less common, but it also presents a greater challenge for endoscopic resolution. We present a case of a 67-year-old woman who had locally advanced...

Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study on Flow of Polymer Aqueous Solution in Porous Jet NozzleThe addition of a polymer to the jet medium enhances its ability to break rock, and the structure of the nozzle plays a vital role in the full utilization of energy. In this paper, a self-propelled porous jet bit with a support plate is designed, which can prevent the drill bit from jamming due to the jet nozzle against the bottom of the well during the drilling process. And the structural design of...
