Matching Biological Mesh and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Reconstructing an Open Abdomen Defect by Fabio Caviggioli, Francesco Maria Klinger, Andrea Lisa, Luca Maione, Davide Forcellini, Valeriano Vinci, Luca Codolini, Marco Klinger

“…Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), instead, was used on the mesh in order to reduce wound dimensions, promote granulation tissue formation, and obtain secondary closure of cutaneous dehiscence which was finally achieved with a split-thickness skin graft. Biological mesh behaved like a scaffold for the granulation tissue that was stimulated by the negative pressure. …”

Linear Bending Wave Propagation in Laminar and Turbulent Disks by Callum W. Fairbairn

“…Although the turbulence can be quantified with an effective α parameter, the bending waves behave distinctly from a classical viscous evolution and are readily disrupted when the turbulent velocity is comparable to the induced warping flows. …”

Self-Organization of Polymeric Fluids in Strong Stress Fields by A. V. Semakov, V. G. Kulichikhin, A. Y. Malkin

“…Analysis of literature data and our own experimental observations have led to the conclusion that, at high deformation rates, viscoelastic liquids come to behave as rubbery materials, with strong domination by elastic deformations over flow. …”

Insights on Climate-Driven Fluctuations of Cave 222Rn and CO2 Concentrations Using Statistical and Wavelet Analyses by Concepcion Pla, Angel Fernandez-Cortes, Soledad Cuezva, Juan Jose Galiana-Merino, Juan Carlos Cañaveras, Sergio Sanchez-Moral, David Benavente

“…However, when the cave atmosphere is isolated from the outdoors, 222Rn and CO2 behave differently and disturbance caused by the visitors is evidenced in terms of the CO2 concentration; the latter observation was confirmed by the wavelet analysis at high frequencies. …”

Minimal age-related variation in bipedal behavior in Sapajus by Kristin A. Wright, Dorothy M. Fragaszy

“…Here, we examine age-related variation in bipedal behavior in wild bearded capuchins (Sapajus libidinosus). 2,209 records of bipedal posture and locomotion, activity state, and substrate used during bipedal behavior (17.2% of all records of positional behavior) were examined for individuals ranging from 3 months to 15 years or older in two groups (32 individuals in total). …”

Surgical and Pathological Characteristics of Papillary Thyroid Cancer in Children and Adolescents by Davor Dzepina

“…By observing clinicopathological parameters, we demonstrated that papillary thyroid cancer behaves more aggressively in the younger group. We recommend total thyroidectomy with careful intraoperative exploration of thyroid bed and lateral neck in search for possible metastatic spread. …”

A Religious Response to Environmental Flippancies in Akan Communities in Ghana by Emmanuel Twumasi-Ankrah, Yaw Adu-Gyamfi

“…In addition, for first-hand information, efforts were made to visit some Akan communities to observe how the people behave toward their environment. This paper argues that the ecological narrative in Akan communities has changed chiefly because of social conflicts, engineered by factors such as the basic needs of humans, politicization, desacralization, materialism, economics, “development,” culture, chieftaincy, international relations, tenancy, religion, civil action and many more. …”

Translational Approach to Behavioral Learning: Lessons from Cerebellar Plasticity by Guy Cheron, Bernard Dan, Javier Márquez-Ruiz

“…For each of these experimental conditions, we have critically revisited the chain of causalities linking together neural circuits, neural signals, and plasticity mechanisms, giving preference to behaving or alert animal physiology. Namely, recent experimental approaches mixing neural units and local field potentials recordings have demonstrated a spike timing dependent plasticity by which the cerebellum remains at a strategic crossroad for deciphering fundamental and translational mechanisms from cellular to network levels.…”
