DUPUYTREN'S CONTRACTION

Phalangeal Fracture During Attempted Dupuytrens Release Following Clostridial Collagenase Injection: Case Report

Introduction Dupuytren's disease can be a challenging condition for both patients and surgeons. Injectable collagen clostridium histolyticum was approved for clinical use by the Food and Drug Administration in 2010. A number of side effects have been described. In this case report, we present a complication of a proximal phalanx fracture which occurred during attempted release post injection. T...

EXTENSION OF FUZZY CONTRACTION MAPPINGS

In a fuzzy metric space (X;M; *), where * is a continuous t-norm,a locally fuzzy contraction mapping is de ned. It is proved that any locally fuzzy contraction mapping is a global fuzzy contractive. Also, if f satis es the locally fuzzy contractivity condition then it satis es the global fuzzy contrac-tivity condition.    

Endpoints of multi-valued cyclic contraction mappings

Endpoint results are presented for multi-valued cyclic contraction mappings on complete metric spaces (X, d). Our results extend previous results given by Nadler (1969), Daffer-Kaneko (1995), Harandi (2010), Moradi and Kojasteh (2012) and Karapinar (2011).

Contraction Functions

We define and study the concept of Contraction Functions to solve the point formation problem in robotics. Interestingly, the discussion leads to the Weber point that plays an important role in facility location. We introduce the notion of Convex Core and show that this helps to locate the Weber point.
