Optimal and suboptimal protocols for a mathematical model for tumor anti-angiogenesis in combination with chemotherapy by Urszula Ledzewicz, Helmut Maurer, Heinz Schättler

“…For oneunderlying mathematical model, optimal and suboptimal solutions aregiven for four versions of this problem: the case when onlyanti-angiogenic agents are administered, combination treatment witha cytotoxic agent, and when a standard linear pharmacokineticequation for the anti-angiogenic agent is added to each of thesemodels. …”

ANALYSIS OF FATIGUE FRACTURE BASED ON PERIDYNAMIC by 石宏顺, 钱松荣, 张国浩, 徐婷, 原群盛

“…Perdynamic（PD） is used for analyzing crack propagation in engineering material fracture,the bonds constitute to the constitutive relation of the peridynamic,and the broken bonds represent to material fracture,but it can’t be used for the fatigue analysis.Based on the Miner’s linear cumulative damage theory,the bond fatigue break criterion was proposed instead of the old break criterion,the PD fatigue fracture model for high cycle fatigue was constructed.Finally,a bending fatigue fracture analysis was carried out on a standard involute gear,the results show that the fatigue fracture process for gear by PD fatigue fracture model is consistent with experiment,the PD fatigue fracture model provides a method which consists of life prediction and fatigue crack propagation.…”

Lanthanum-Induced Radiopaque Intestinal Precipitates: A Potential Cause of Intestinal Foreign Bodies by Jason Galo, Bianca Madrid, Warren Kupin

“…The elemental form of lanthanum is a soft metal, which will appear radiopaque on a standard X-ray radiograph. This case report illustrates the potential for Lanthanum to masquerade as multiple radiopaque intestinal foreign bodies, leading to the extensive mobilization of medical resources and consultations including serial X-ray monitoring, multiple consultants including acute care and colorectal surgery. …”
