Monogram and Heat Map on Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Evaluate the Recommendation for Myomectomy in Patients with Infertility: A Pilot Study.

Uterine myomas can cause infertility. Studies are attempting to determine the indications for myomectomy. However, the multiplicity and localization of myomas complicate this issue.

Inhibition of Lysosomal Cathepsin A and Neuraminidase 1 Interaction by Anti-Obesity Cyclic Peptide.

Chronic inflammation in adipose tissue is associated with metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Novel small molecules targeting adipocyte differentiation and fat accumulation offer potential for new anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity drugs. Here we show that the marine cyclic heptapeptide stylissatin A and its analogs (SAs) inhibit membranous neuraminidase 1 (Neu1) function by interacting with lysosomal protective protein cathepsin A (PPCA).

Engineering interfacial tissues: The myotendinous junction.

The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is the interface connecting skeletal muscle and tendon tissues. This specialized region represents the bridge that facilitates the transmission of contractile forces from muscle to tendon, and ultimately the skeletal system for the creation of movement. MTJs are, therefore, subject to high stress concentrations, rendering them susceptible to severe, life-altering injuries.

Interstitial round needles should not be used for cervical cancer patient treated with intracavitary/ interstitial brachytherapy using a Venezia applicator : a case report.

Background: Image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) demonstrates an excellent local control rate and low toxicity while treating cervical cancer. For intracavitary/interstitial (IC/IS) brachytherapy (BT), several applicators are commercially available. Venezia (Elekta, Sweden), an advanced gynecological applicator, is designed for IC/IS BT for treating locally advanced cervical cancer.
