Torsion gelometry, a fundamental rheological test in which specimens are twisted until they fracture, was applied to several different cheese varieties to determine its suitability for measuring their textural properties. Fresh and aged Brick, Cheddar, Colby, Gouda, Havarti, Mozzarella, and Romano cheeses were subjected to torsion analysis, and the results were compared with those from small am...

An approximate numerical mthod is presented for analysis and determination of modal characteristics in straight, pretwisted non-unifom helicopter blades. The analysis considers the coupled flapwise bending (out of plane), chordwise bending (in plane), and torsion vibration of both rotating and non-rotating blades. The proposed method is based on the integral expansion of Green functions (struct...

We extend the deenition of analytic and Reidemeister torsion from closed compact Riemannian manifolds to compact Riemannian manifolds with bound

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this case series was to determine the sonographic features of neonatal ovarian torsion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seven surgically proven cases of neonatal ovarian cysts were included in this retrospective study. The patients were divided into 2 groups, torsion and non-torsion. These 7 patients were evaluated for the clinical presentation, sonographic features, surgica...

Introduction: Gastric volvulus occurs primarily when the stomach suffers torsion on itself due to laxity, elongation, or agenesis of the stomach ligamentous attachments or secondary to diaphragmatic hernias. Gastric torsion after sleeve gastrectomy is a rare complication. We present a case report of 3 patients with gastric torsion after sleeve gastrectomy. Case Description/Technique Description...

Objective Maternal ovarian torsion in pregnancy is a rare complication. Its diagnosis is often missed due to the nonspecific clinical features and uncommon objective findings. Ovarian torsion is seen most commonly at first trimester, but can happen second or third trimester. In late pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound is limited becaus...

Riyad T. Ellati, Parviz K. Kavoussi, Terry T. Turner, Jeffrey J. Lysiak From the Department of Urology, University of Virginia Health System, USA Purpose: This review addresses different aspects of testicular torsion from the clinical perspective as well as the basic cellular and molecular events responsible for the post-torsion testicular changes and pathology, including tissue ischemia-reperf...

Gallbladder torsion is a rare clinical entity and it is a difficult condition to diagnose preoperatively. About 500 cases of gallbladder torsion have been reported since 1898, when Wendel first described gallbladder volvulus. This condition most commonly occurs in elderly women and the symptoms of this disease are largely non-specific and they mimic those of acute cholecystitis. Even with the r...

The zygapophyses and zygosphene-zygantrum articulations of snake vertebrae are hypothesized to restrict or eliminate vertebral torsion. This hypothesis is apparently based solely on the inference of function from structure, despite the limitations of such inferences, as well as contradictory observations and measurements. In this study, I observed and measured axial torsion in gopher snakes, Pi...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Testicular torsion is a medical and urological emergency because it can lead to loss of the organ. The theory of seasonal testicular torsion occurrence is based on studies from institutions located in cold and temperate regions. The objective here was to determine whether cold weather is associated with higher incidence of testicular torsion in a tropical country, such as ...
