Venous Insufficiency: Wound Management.

Purpose Of Review: Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are one of the most common forms of chronic wounds and with nearly half the people having recurrent episodes, this significantly impacts a patient's quality of life. As such, VLU is a chronic disease that requires lifelong maintenance and awareness. A correct diagnosis of VLU is essential for management.

Push and pull of downstream moving juvenile sea lamprey () exposed to chemosensory and light cues.

Visual and olfactory stimuli induce behavioural responses in fishes when applied independently, but little is known about how simultaneous exposure influences behaviour, especially in downstream migrating fishes. Here, downstream moving juvenile sea lamprey () were exposed to light and a conspecific chemosensory alarm cue in a flume and movement were monitored with overhead cameras and nets. When exposed to light, sea lamprey were more likely to be captured in a net closest to the light array.

Different scenarios for hyperbolicity breakdown in quasiperiodic area preserving twist maps.

We present a computer-assisted numerical study of different bifurcations of saddle invariant tori in quasiperiodic area preserving twist maps. We detect three bifurcation scenarios. In the first scenario, the smooth bifurcation, the regularity of the invariant torus is preserved, and the stable and unstable invariant bundles collide smoothly.

Strange nonchaotic attractors in Harper maps.

We study the existence of strange nonchaotic attractors (SNA) in the family of Harper maps. We prove that for a set of parameters of positive measure, the map possesses a SNA. However, the set is nowhere dense.
