Adnexal Incarceration in a Posterior Pelvic Peritoneal Defect Associated with Ovarian Torsion: A Case Report by Lina Qattea, Wafa Alshahrani, Samaher Samer Alouch, Abdulrazzaq Qattea, Wafaa Qatteh, Sami Qattea

“…Intraoperatively, we found right adnexa torsion (ovary with tube) along with incarceration of the right ovary and tube into the big peritoneal sac, which was located medial to the right uterosacral ligament. Detorsion and careful pulling of the swollen adnexa were done to the outside of the big peritoneal sac using nontraumatic laparoscopic forceps. …”

Strength of adhesive contacts: Influence of contact geometry and material gradients by Valentin L. Popov, Roman Pohrt, Qiang Li

“…Here we present numerical and experimental results for contacts of rigid punches with flat but oddly shaped face contacting a soft, adhesive counterpart. When it is carefully pulled off, we find that in contrast to circular shapes, detachment occurs not instantaneously but detachment fronts start at pointed corners and travel inwards, until the final configuration is reached which for macroscopically isotropic shapes is almost circular. …”
