Self‐knotting of distal end of nasogastric tube—Not an uncommon possibility
Importance A nasogastric tube is used commonly to decompress the stomach and provide enteral feeding in surgical and medical practice. Sometimes this safe and innocent‐looking tube may lead to unexpected complications. We focus here on the possibility of

Knots not concordant to L-space knots [PDF]
AbstractIn this short note we use methods of Friedl, Livingston and Zentner to show that there are knots that are not algebraically concordant to a connected sum of positive and negative L-space knots.

Nasogastric tube self-knotting [PDF]
Complications associated with nasogastric tube (NGT) are rare. We report one of these rare complications, NGT knotting, in the pediatric population. Our patient was a 7-year-old boy, a known case of β-thalassemia, who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy ...

AbstractThe first synthetic molecular trefoil knot was prepared in the late 1980s. However, it is only in the last few years that more complex small‐molecule knot topologies have been realized through chemical synthesis. The steric restrictions imposed on molecular strands by knotting can impart significant physical and chemical properties, including ...

We study the formation of knots on a macroscopic ball-chain, which is shaken on a horizontal plate at 12 times the acceleration of gravity. We find that above a certain critical length, the knotting probability is independent of chain length, while the time to shake out a knot increases rapidly with chain length. The probability if finding a knot after

Knotting and weak knotting in confined, open random walks using virtual knots [PDF]
We probe the character of knotting in open, confined polymers, assigning knot types to open curves by identifying their projections as virtual knots. In this sense, virtual knots are transitional, lying in between classical knot types, which are useful ...
