Occurrence of acute oesophageal necrosis (black oesophagus) in a single tertiary centre [PDF]

, 2019
Acute oesophageal necrosis (AON) is a rare condition characterised by the endoscopic finding of diffuse, circumferential, black mucosal pigmentation of the oesophagus, which typically stops at the gastro-oesophageal junction.

Gel-Electrophoresis and Diffusion of Ring-Shaped DNA

, 1997
A model for the motion of ring-shaped DNA in a gel is introduced and studied by numerical simulations and a mean-field approximation. The ring motion is mediated by finger-shaped loops (hernias) that move in an amoeba-like fashion around the gel ...
