Maternal obesity and resistance to breast cancer treatments among offspring: Link to gut dysbiosis
Abstract Background About 50 000 new cases of cancer in the United States are attributed to obesity. The adverse effects of obesity on breast cancer may be most profound when affecting the early development; that is, in the womb of a pregnant obese mother.

Uterus didelphys associated with ovarian endometriosis in an infertile patient [PDF]
Introduction. Uterus didelphys results when Mullerian duct fusion is completely arrested during development. We presented a rare case of nonobstructive uterus didelphys occurring simultaneously with an endometriotic cyst of the ovary. Case report.

Self-organized transition to coherent activity in disordered media [PDF]
Synchronized oscillations are of critical functional importance in many biological systems. We show that such oscillations can arise without centralized coordination in a disordered system of electrically coupled excitable and passive cells. Increasing the coupling strength results in waves that lead to coherent periodic activity, exhibiting cluster ...

MIMA -- Multifunctional IoT Integrated Menstrual Aid [PDF]
Menstruation is the monthly shedding of the endometrium lining of a woman's uterus. The average age when girls start menstruating is around the age of 12 years (menarche), and the cycle continues until they attain menopause (about the age of 51). Medical research and analysis in this field reveal that most women have to go through a painful cycle of ...

Agent with Warm Start and Adaptive Dynamic Termination for Plane Localization in 3D Ultrasound [PDF]
Accurate standard plane (SP) localization is the fundamental step for prenatal ultrasound (US) diagnosis. Typically, dozens of US SPs are collected to determine the clinical diagnosis. 2D US has to perform scanning for each SP, which is time-consuming and operator-dependent. While 3D US containing multiple SPs in one shot has the inherent advantages of

Giant uterus-like mass of the uterus
Uterus-like masses, such as cavities lined by endometrium-type mucosa surrounded by bundles of smooth muscle cells, may strikingly resemble the uterus. In this report, we describe a case of a uterus-like mass of the uterus in a 35-year-old woman.
