SELF-ORGANIZATION OF THE TRIBOSYSTEM UNDER NON-STATIONARY CONDITIONS OF FRICTION FROM THE STANDPOINT OF DEFORMATION-WAVE REPRESENTATIONS

Self-organization of the tribosystem under non-stationary conditions of friction from the standpoint of deformation-wave representations

Mechanisms of structural adaptation of contact surfaces and lubricating materials during friction with the dominance of deformation processes in tribocontact have been analyzed.The purpose of the work was to model the elastic-plastic properties of dissipative structures taking into account the anisotropic properties of the surface layers of the fri

Giant schwannoma on thenar aspect of the hand: A rare case report

Schwannomas are the most common benign tumors of peripheral nerves but are rare in adults.They have an extremely slow rate of growth before the onset of symptoms such as pain, paresthesia, and tingling.Giant Divertor Valve schwannomas of the extremities can significantly affect the quality of life.With a correct diagnosis, the tumor can be extirpat

Hedgehog pathway inhibitors for locally advanced and metastatic basal cell carcinoma: A real-world single-center retrospective review.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is highly curable by surgical excision or radiation.In rare cases, BCC can be locally destructive or difficult to surgically remove.Hedgehog inhibition (HHI) with vismodegib or sonidegib induces a 50-60% response rate.Long-term toxicity includes muscle spasms and weight loss leading to dose decreases.This retrospective ch
