Congenital hepatic fibrosis Congenital hepatic fibrosis Congenital hepatic fibrosis is an inherited fibrocystic liver disease associated with proliferation of interlobular bile ducts within the portal areas and fibrosis that do not alter hepatic lobular architecture. The fibrosis would affect resistance in portal veins leading to portal hypertension. The condition is usually congenital, but sporadic cases have also been reported. It may be associated with other congenital defects, commonly with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, the most severe form of PKD. Some suggest that these two conditions are one disorder with different presentation. Embryogenically, congenital hepatic fibrosis is due to malformation of the duct
Nominalized adjective elaborated by Noam Chomsky, it is suggested that inflected adjectives are more likely to be nominalized because they have overtly-marked φ-features (such as grammatical number and gender), which makes them suitable for use as the complement of a determiner. Determiners with unvalued φ-features must find a complement with a valued φ-feature to meet semantic comprehension. In the diagrams below, the determiner is "the", and its complement is either the noun phrase "poor people" or the nominalized adjective "poor". As the frequency of nominalized adjective use decreased, the frequency of structures using the prop-word "one" increased (phrases such as "the large"
