Locomoting non-magnetic marbles through meniscus emerged on the water surface using a magnetically actuated ferrofluid marble under pulsating and steady magnetic fields.

Recent progress in digital microfluidics has revealed the distinct advantages of liquid marbles, such as minimal surface friction, reduced evaporation rates, and non-wettability compared to uncoated droplets. This study provides a comprehensive examination of an innovative technique for the precise, contamination-free manipulation of non-magnetic water liquid marbles (WLMs) carried by a ferrofluid liquid marble (FLM) under the control of direct current (DC) and pulse-width modulation (PWM) magnetic fields. The concept relies on the phenomenon in which an FLM and WLMs form a shared meniscus when placed together on a water surface, causing the WLMs to closely track the magnetically actuated FLM.

Sleep disorders in patients with endometriosis; a cross-sectional study.

Background: Endometriosis affects 10-15% of women of reproductive age and is considered a critical gynecological problem. Endometriosis causes pain and infertility, both of which can impair the patient's quality of life. Sleep disorders account for the most bothersome presentation of impaired quality of life.

Vaginoscopic resection of hemivagina, in a 20-year-old virgin female with prior misdiagnosis of OHVIRA syndrome as a bicornuate uterus: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: OHVIRA syndrome can be misdiagnosed due to its rarity, resulting in the need for more invasive interventions than vaginoscopy. Also, delayed diagnosis of OHVIRA syndrome can affect patient's quality of life by leading to chronic gynecological diseases such as endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Abstract: Obstructive hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA) syndrome is one of the infrequent congenital Mullerian duct anomalies characterized by obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis.

Inguinal endometriosis: a case series and review of the literature.

Background: Inguinal endometriosis is one of the most common forms of endometriosis. The present study introduces 8 cases of inguinal endometriosis and discusses probable theories of inguinal endometriosis by reviewing the literature.

Case Presentation: 8 Iranian cases of inguinal endometriosis with a mean age of 36 years were presented.

Microbiome modulation in inflammatory diseases: Progress to microbiome genetic engineering.

Recent developments in sequencing technology and analytical approaches have allowed researchers to show that the healthy gut microbiome is very varied and capable of performing a wide range of tasks. The importance of gut microbiota in controlling immunological, neurological, and endocrine function is becoming well-recognized. Thereby, numerous inflammatory diseases, including those that impact the gastrointestinal system, as well as less obvious ones, including Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), cancer, gestational diabetes (GD), type 1 diabetes (T1D), and type 2 diabetes (T2D), have been linked to dysbiotic gut microbiota.
