The choice of the optimal braking force on the wheelset, taking into account the imper-fection of antiskid devices by I. A. Zharov, S. B. Kurtsev, A. A. Makas

“…To do this, author introduces the concept of ”loss function”, which includes internal and external damages during braking, and also uses the function of probability density q () of the potential coefficient between the wheel and the rail during braking.The proposed model is rather simplistic, therefore, it is reasonable to consider the conclusions from its analysis as qualitative, and for additional quantitative estimates additional sources of information should be involved. …”

Late lymphocele infection with Parvimonas micra in a kidney allograft recipient by Rihab Dkhissi, Gabriel Ouellet, Xavier Charmetant, Fanny Buron, Florent Valour, Olivier Rouviere, Xavier Matillon, Emmanuel Morelon

“…Case presentation The patient had a stable lymphocele for six years post-transplantation, as observed through several medical imaging studies, without the need for intervention due to the absence of any impact on graft function. Regarding a six-month progressive decline in general condition, a persistent inflammatory syndrome and a deterioration of renal function, a PET scan revealed a hypermetabolic infiltration behind the lymphocele adjacent to the graft. …”

Brief Communication: Histological Assessment of Nonhuman Primate Brown Adipose Tissue Highlights the Importance of Sympathetic Innervation by Abigail G. Williams, Masha Long, Kylie Kavanagh

“…Based on our observations, β3-AR abundance does not strongly drive these structural elements or TH, all of which are known to be important in the function of brown adipose tissue. In effect, while the role of other receptors, such as β2-AR, should be reviewed in BAT function, these results support the development of safe sympathetic nervous system stimulants to activate brown adipose tissue for obesity treatment.…”
