Introduction: Leiomyoma torsion is an incredibly rare entity. Diagnosis is frequently intraoperative due to poor correlation between clinical symptoms and radiological findings. We report a case of a twisted uterine leimyoma diagnosed intraoperatively.

Background: Sigmoid volvulus (SV) is an acute abdominal condition characterized by torsion of the sigmoid colon around the mesentery, and often results in intestinal obstruction that may progress to bowel ischemia, necrosis, or perforation. Although SV commonly occurs due to predisposing factors like anatomic variations, age-related motility disorders, chronic constipation, and neurologic diseases, its incidence following sigmoid colon cancer surgery has rarely been reported. Herein, we report a rare case of recurrent SV following laparoscopic sigmoidectomy, which was successfully treated by laparoscopic redo surgery.

The human umbilical cord (hUC) is the lifeline that connects the fetus to the mother. Hypercoiling of the hUC is associated with pre- and perinatal morbidity and mortality. We investigated the origin of hUC hypercoiling using state-of-the-art imaging and omics approaches.

Department of Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Science, C.V. Raman Avenue, Bangalore, 560012, India.
Current additive manufacturing technologies wherein as-printed simple two-dimensional (2D) structures morph into complex tissue mimetic three-dimensional (3D) shapes are limited to multi-material hydrogel systems, which necessitates multiple fabrication steps and specific materials. This work utilizes a single shape memory thermoplastic polymer (SMP), PLMC (polylactide--trimethylene carbonate), to achieve programmable shape deformation through anisotropic design and infill angles encoded during 3D printing. The shape changes were first computationally predicted through finite element analysis (FEA) simulations and then experimentally validated through quantitative correlation.

University of Pecs, Medical School, Department of Medical Genetics, Pecs, Hungary.
Background: Prenatal whole exome sequencing (WES) approaches can provide genetic diagnosis with rapid turnaround time and high diagnostic rate when conventional tests are negative. Here we report a family with multiple pregnancy loss and with repeated occurrence of fetal microcephaly.
Methods And Results: Because of positive family history and recurrent structural abnormality during the pregnancies that may lead postnatal neurodevelopmental consequences, WES analysis was indicated.
