Unilateral abducens nerve palsy with periodic recurrences is a well-recognised finding in children, but is rare in adults. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism is unknown. Vascular compression of the nerve is suspected but never demonstrated. We describe an adult patient with, altogether, 11 periods of unilateral right-sided abducens palsy and arterial contact at the root exit zone of th...

The association between superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) paresis and laryngeal granuloma formation has not been described earlier. The aim of this study was to present a series of patients with isolated unilateral SLN paresis who developed contralateral vocal process granulomas. The study design was a retrospective chart review including all patients presenting to Indiana University from February...

We prove that the solutions to a 2D Poisson equation with unilateral boundary conditions of Signorini type as well as their contact intervals depend smoothly on the data. The result is based on a certain local equivalence of the unilateral boundary value problem to a smooth abstract equation in a Hilbert space and on an application of the Implicit Function Theorem to that equation.

In this paper, we present and analyze a posteriori error estimates in the energy norm of quadratic finite element method for frictionless unilateral contact problem. The reliability efficiency estimator is discussed. suitable decomposition discrete space $${\mathbf{V^h_0}}$$ $${\mathbf{Q^h}}$$ , where counterpart force density defined, play crucial role deriving estimates. Numerical results are...
