Swelling around the thigh is a common clinical finding in the paralysed patient, heterotrophic ossification and deep vein thrombosis being the usual etiological factors. This case report illustrates another unusual cause – an adductor muscle rupture – a complication which occurred due

Abstract. In this article, we analyze a model of the incipient dynamics of gel swelling, and perform numerical simulations. The governing system consists of balance laws for a mixture of nonlinear elastic solid and solvent yielding effective equations for the gel. We discuss the multiscale nature

ABSTRACT: We study different regimes in the dynamics of swelling of a long polymer chain from a compact globule. Depending on the age or degree of self-entanglement inside of the globule, we consider the limiting cases of “freshly formed ” globule and “old ” globule. Considering the density

The physical properties of fish liver and rat liver mitochondria were compared as a function of temperature and osmotic pressure. The data indicate that fish mitochondria are more flexible and swell at a more rapid rate over a 0 to 30°C temperature range, whereas the rates of swelling at 30 to 40°C

Metastatic tumor in oral region is uncommon and may occur in the oral soft tissues or in the Jaw bone. Because of their rarity, metastasis in oral cavity are challenging to diagnose and treat. Oral metastasis is associated with poor prognosis. This case report is of a 45 year old female with a

Using recordings of swell from pitch-and-roll buoys, we have reproduced the classic observations of long-range surface wave propagation originally made by Munk et al. (1963) using a triangular array of bottom pressure measurements. In the modern data, the direction of the incoming swell fluctuates
