Systemic lupus erythematosus: alertness in the practice of a dermatologist by M. M. Tlish, Zh. Yu. Naatyzh, T. G. Kuznetsova, E. A. Chernenko

“…The article presents two clinical cases illustrating that against the background of an isolated skin lesion and the absence of visible somatic pathology, abnormalities in immunological tests were identified. This made it possible to suspect the systemic course of the process at an early stage and refer patients to a rheumatologist's consultation, where the diagnosis of SLE was confirmed.…”

Combining protective clothes with human body models for finite element ballistic impact simulations by Matthias Boljen, Marcin Jenerowicz, Steffen Bauer, Elmar Straßburger

“…The results of the clothing-body-interaction have been investigated and compared to the behavior of anthropomorphic surrogate models made from ballistic clay. For building the fabric model in donned shape, a single ply of woven fabric material has been converted upon the anthropomorphic body contour by subjecting it to a quasi-deep drawing process. …”
