Pregnancies complicated by uterine prolapse are rare, occurring in 1 in 10 000 to 15 000 deliveries. We report a case of uterine prolapse at 36 weeks of gestation that resulted in vaginal delivery by placement of a colpeurynter (intravaginal balloon). The patient was a 33-year-old pregnant woman with a history of uterine prolapse during her previous pregnancy.

This network design is inspired by a small-molecule model that shows the carboxy exchange reaction even at ambient temperature in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.

- Early tumor shrinkage (ETS) is evaluated as a potential predictor of prognosis for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) in the JCOG1407 study, which compares two chemotherapy regimens: mFOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP).
- Researchers found that 25.5% of patients receiving mFOLFIRINOX and 42.1% of patients receiving GnP achieved ETS, defined as a 20% reduction in tumor size within 6-10 weeks of treatment.
- The results showed that patients with ETS had significantly better overall survival rates compared to those without ETS, suggesting that ETS could be a valuable prognostic indicator in this patient

Biosensors with two-dimensional materials have gained wide interest due to their high sensitivity. Among them, single-layer MoS has become a new class of biosensing platform owing to its semiconducting property. Immobilization of bioprobes directly onto the MoS surface with chemical bonding or random physisorption has been widely studied.
