The linear everting catheter is a new technology that allows for nonhysteroscopic, transvaginal access, and microendoscopy of the fallopian tube. Initial results indicate that this approach is safe, successful, and offers a number of unique advantages relative to the available alternatives. Studies are in progress to explore several of the many possible applications of this system in the diagnosis and treatment of infertile patients.

Lip augmentation has become one of the most popular esthetic procedures globally, driven by societal standards that equate full lips with youth and sensuality. While young individuals often seek volume enhancement for lip beautification, older adults pursue lip rejuvenation to counter aging effects, such as volume loss, fine lines, and reduced definition. A range of techniques has been developed to meet these esthetic goals, but achieving natural and safe results remains a challenge.

Background: Retrusive profiles show an appearance of aging with an under-projected vermilion and pronounced nasolabial folds due to deficient bone support.
Purpose: A study was made of the association between orthognathic surgery and changes in the nasolabial and vermilion areas in patients with retrusive profiles.
Study Design, Setting, Sample: A retrospective cohort study evaluated patients subjected to bimaxillary surgery according to the Barcelona Line (BL) protocol during 2021 at Teknon Medical Center (Barcelona, Spain).

To investigate the application value of laparoscopic double stapler firings and double stapling technique combined with rectal eversion and total extra-abdominal resection (LDER) in the anal preservation treatment of low rectal cancer. Inclusion criteria: (1) age was 18-70; (2) the distance of the lower tumor edge from the anal verge was 4-5 cm; (3) primary tumor with a diameter ≤3 cm; (4) preoperative staging of T1~2N1~2M0; (5) "difficult pelvis", defined as ischial tuberosity diameter<10 cm or body mass index>25 kg/m; (6) patients with strong intention for sphincter preservation; (7) no preoperative treatment (e.g.

This study investigated the absorption profile of Wuwei Qingzhuo San in different intestinal segments and the absorption characteristics of its alkaloids(piperine, piperanine, piperlonguminine, and dihydropiperlonguminine). The everted gut sac model was established, and the chemical components of Wuwei Qingzhuo San in different intestinal segments were detected by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. The content of piperine, piperanine, piperlonguminine, and dihydropiperlonguminine in intestinal absorption fluid was determined by UPLC-Q-TRAP-MS and the absorption parameters were calculated.

Purpose: To develop and evaluate a custom imaging system to provide high-resolution, wide depth-of-field, reflection-free, multispectral infrared (IR) imaging of the Meibomian glands.
Methods: Lower eyelids of 15 volunteers were everted to obtain multispectral images of the Meibomian glands with custom imaging setup. Photographs were captured at 10 different ISO settings (from underexposure to overexposure) and using nine IR imaging filters (ranging from 600 nm to 1000 nm in 50-nm steps).
