Mechanical irritation by protruding bone: A possible cause of breast implant rupture
Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2018 Although breast implants have been in clinical use for almost 6 decades and have undergone considerable development during this time, implant rupture is still a dreaded long-term complication.

arXiv, 2022 We consider a variation of Griffith's analysis of rupture, one which simulates the process of hydrofracturing, where fluid forced into a crack raises the fluid pressure until the crack begins to grow. Unlike that of Griffith, in this analysis fluid pressure drops as a hydrofracture grows.

Spectral-element modeling of spontaneous earthquake rupture on rate and state faults: Effect of velocity-strengthening friction at shallow depths [PDF]
, 2008 We develop a spectral-element methodology (SEM) for simulating dynamic rupture on rate and state faults and use it to study how the rupture is affected by a shallow fault region of steady-state velocity-strengthening friction.

Pathologic Rupture of the Spleen in Mantle-Cell-Type Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Case Reports in Medicine, 2012 Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) accounts for less than 10 percent of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Pathologic or spontaneous rupture of the spleen has been reported in patients with lymphoma; however only 5 cases have been reported in patients with MCL ...

Imbalances between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in maternal serum during preterm labor [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) during pregnancy and parturition. Aberrant ECM degradation by MMPs or an imbalance between MMPs and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) have been ...

UTERINE RUPTURE IN A PRIMIGRAVIDA TERM PREGNANCY: A CASE REPORT AND LESSONS TO LEARN
South African Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2015 Spontaneous uterine rupture in primigravidae in a term pregnancy is a rare occurrence but is increasing in frequency in high income countries due to a concomitant rise in rates of gynaecological uterine surgery. We present a case from a low-middle ...

The SCEC/USGS Dynamic Earthquake Rupture Code Verification Exercise [PDF]
, 2009 Numerical simulations of earthquake rupture dynamics are now common, yet it has been difficult to test the validity of thesesimulations because there have been few field observations and no analytic solutions with which to compare the results. This paper
