Molecular and mechanical insights into gecko seta adhesion: multiscale simulations combining molecular dynamics and the finite element method [PDF]

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology
Gecko adhesion, enabled by micro- and nanoscale structures known as setae and spatulae, has prompted extensive research. We present a concurrent multiscale computational model of a seta that integrates molecular dynamics to capture molecular interactions

Bleeding anorectal varices treated by a direct puncture approach through the greater sciatic foramen: The utility of a steerable microcatheter for reverse catheterization

Radiology Case Reports, 2022
Bleeding is less common from anorectal varices than from esophageal varices, but it is potentially life-threatening. Here, we present a case of a woman in her 70s with critical hemorrhage from anorectal varices.
