Contaminated water has remained an unsolved problem for decades, particularly when the contamination derived from heavy metals. A possible solution is to mix the contaminated water with magnetic nanoparticles so that an adsorption process can take place. In that frame, Tesla valve micromixer and Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were selected to perform simulations for encounter maximum mixing efficiency.

- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various hormone triggers (hCG, GnRH agonist, dual, and double triggers) in women undergoing ovarian stimulation for IVF through a systematic review and network meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials.
- A total of 1,931 women were analyzed, with the primary outcomes focused on clinical pregnancy rates (CPR), live birth rates (LBR), and the incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
- The results indicated that the dual trigger had the best potential for higher CPR, while the GnRH agonist trigger was associated with significantly lower OHSS rates compared to hCG, but overall, no major differences in o
Understanding the relationship between reproductive health and kidney function is important to provide holistic care for people living with kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has negative impacts on both male and female fertility owing to factors including inflammation, hormonal dysregulation, reduced ovarian reserve, reduced sperm quality and sexual dysfunction. However, pregnancy is achievable for most cisgender women with kidney disease, including kidney transplant recipients and patients on dialysis.

This leads to patients requiring numerous embryo transfers and, consequently, a prolonged time interval before live birth. Embryo selection following preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) with next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been suggested as an intervention to shorten time to pregnancy in women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

- This study analyzed long-term outcomes of young patients under 65 with femoral neck fractures (FNFs) treated with closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) over the past decade.
- Involving 52 patients, results showed that no cases of non-union occurred, but 17.3% developed avascular necrosis (AVN) requiring total hip arthroplasty (THA) after about 1.68 years.
- Factors like age, trauma type, sex, and treatment conditions did not significantly impact patient outcomes, but the time from trauma to surgery was shorter for those who later underwent THA.
