  Recanalized Umbilical Vein in a Patient with Cirrhosis by Dr. Sreeram Parupudi in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences Clinical Image   41-year-old man with history of alcohol associated cirrhosis complicated by ascites presented with hematemesis. On admission he underwent a CT angiography which revealed portal hypertension manifested by a recanalized paraumbilical vein and portosystemic collaterals. EGD revealed Grade II esophageal varices and portal hypertensive gastropathy. A recanalized umbilical vein is a commonly reported finding on imaging in patients with portal hypertension and can be seen in up to 30% of patients with cirrhosis [1]. In adults without portal hypertension the umbilical vein is not visible and forms the round ligament [2]. Paraumbilical veins are collapsed veins found in the falciform ligament and connect to the left branch of the portal vein to the ventral abdominal veins that drain into the systemic circulation [2].

  Epidemic Equations of COVID-19, Quantum Medicine and Three Principles of Self-cultivation and Health by Yi-Fang Chang in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences Abstract  First, we research the preliminary epidemic equations of COVID-19 and their meaning. Second, we discuss the matrix mechanics of pharmacology, and corresponding quantum medicine. Third, based on the Chinese traditional culture, we propose three principles of self-cultivation and health: health must first nourish self-heart, life should be a combination of movement and peace, and the body-mind-spirit union.  Introduction  Based on the inseparability and correlativity of the biological systems, we proposed the nonlinear whole biology and its basic hypotheses [1]. This may unify reductionism and holism, structuralism and functionalism on biology, and is consistent with systems biology [2,3], which integrates multiple different levels in biological systems, from multiple mo...
