A 58‐year‐old man presented with a 2‐year history of a painless subcutaneous mass on the right thumb [Figure 1a]. The tumor had gradually increased in size and there was no preceding history of trauma. Physical examination revealed a solitary tumor on the thumb tip underneath indurate, pink skin of 1 cm size. A radiograph of the affected part revealed no abnormality. Histological examination re...

background: although, different grafts are used for nasal tip plasty in cases with under projected or ill defined tip, the selection of a graft material, which provides sufficient amount of tissue with least donor site morbidity and low recipient site complication is challenging. the objectives of the present study were to examine the usefulness of cartilaginous dorsum as a proper material for ...

Variations in ectomycorrhizal (EcM) short root tips of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in 16 stands throughout Finland were studied, and their relationships with latitude, organic layer C:N ratio, temperature sum and foliage biomass were determined. There were no significant differences in EcM root tip frequency (number per milligram of fine roots) o...

The case of a rare, mature teratoma of the oculomotor nerve manifesting as an interpeduncular cistern mass is presented. A basilar tip aneurysm initially was suspected on the basis of lesion location and MR imaging appearance. Subsequent CT and catheter angiography studies were atypical for aneurysm, leading to surgical biopsy. Pathologic analysis revealed a well-circumscribed mass composed of ...

Characteristics of rotor blade tip clearance flow in axial compressors can significantly affect their performance and stable operation. It may also increase blade vibrations and cause detrimental noises. Therefore, this paper is contributed to investigate tip leakage flow in a low speed isolated axial compressor rotor blades row. Simulations are carried out on near-stall condition, which is val...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) force-distance measurements are used to investigate the layered ion structure of Ionic Liquids (ILs) at the mica surface. The effects of various tip properties on the measured force profiles are examined and reveal that the measured ion position is independent of tip properties, while the tip radius affects the forces required to break through the ion layers as wel...

The slow kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) causes high power consumption for electrochemical water splitting. Various strategies have been attempted to accelerate the OER rate, but there are few studies on regulating transport reactants especially under large current densities when mass transfer factor dominates reactions. Herein, NixFe1–x alloy nanocones arrays (with ?2 nm surface Ni...
