Undescended ovary without abnormal development of uterus and urinary system: a report of four cases
Background Congenital anatomic abnormalities of fallopian tubes and ovaries are rarely reported. Herein, we describe four cases of undescended ovary during laparoscopic surgery with abnormal anatomy of fallopian tube, yet without abnormal uterine ...

Electronic transport through carbon nanotubes -- effects of structural deformation and tube chirality [PDF]
Atomistic simulations using a combination of classical forcefield and Density-Functional-Theory (DFT) show that carbon atoms remain essentially sp2 coordinated in either bent tubes or tubes pushed by an atomically sharp AFM tip. Subsequent Green's-function-based transport calculations reveal that for armchair tubes there is no significant drop in ...

What does it mean? Translating anatomical language to engage public audiences
Abstract The language of anatomy, with its roots in Ancient Greek and Roman languages, is complex and unfamiliar to many. Its complexity creates a significant barrier to public knowledge and understanding of anatomy—many members of the public find themselves asking “what does it mean?”, and this can manifest as poor health literacy and outcomes.

Highly unperturbed inner tubes in CVD grown double-wall carbon nanotubes [PDF]
The synthesis of double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) with highly unperturbed inner shells is reported using the catalytic vapor deposition method. Temperature dependent and high resolution Raman measurements show an enhanced phonon life-time of the inner tubes with respect to the outer ones and similar diameter SWCNTs.

The Known and Unknown About Female Reproductive Tract Mucus Rheological Properties
Mucus viscosity changes as spermatozoa travel through the female reproductive tract to the egg in humans, bovines, mice, and other mammals. These changes may aid in spermatozoa navigation. However, limited information is available on the viscoelastic properties of female reproductive tract mucus, and consistent measurement techniques are lacking ...

Enhancement on Laser Intensity and Proton Acceleration Using Micro-tube Plasma Lens Targets [PDF]
A hollow cylindrical micron-scale structure is proposed to enhance and manipulate the laser plasma interaction. It is shown through 3-D particle-in-cell simulations that the incident laser pulse intensity is enhanced within the tube. A detailed study of the intensification optimizes the tube dimensions and provides a characterization of the in-tube ...

A catalog of pressure drop, deformation profile and tube laws for slender hyperelastic tubes conveying Newtonian flow at steady state [PDF]
Slender tubes constituted of hyperelastic materials undergoing large deformations and conveying inertialess flow of Newtonian fluids at steady state are a model representations of complex systems in both biomechanics and bio-inspired technology. In this paper, we undertake a systematic study of this system.

Breaking barriers: Smart vaccine platforms for cancer immunomodulation
Abstract Despite significant advancements in cancer treatment, current therapies often fail to completely eradicate malignant cells. This shortfall underscores the urgent need to explore alternative approaches such as cancer vaccines. Leveraging the immune system's natural ability to target and kill cancer cells holds great therapeutic potential ...
