Identifying seawater intrusion in coastal areas using the transient electromagnetic method at Santolo Beach, Garut, West Java, Indonesia by Vitasha Adha Chaerul, I Gede Putu Fadjar Soerya Djaja, Prihandhanu Mukti Pratomo, Supriyadi, Elfitra Desifatma, Anggie Susilawati, Dini Andriani, Harry Mahardika, Eleonora Agustine, Wahyu Srigutomo

“…The data were processed through an iterative inversion procedure using a smoothness constraint scheme. Interpretation of the transient magnetic field across all sounding points revealed a resistivity structure comprising three main layers: (1) a surface layer with high resistivity (>50 Ωm) extending to a depth of 15 m and thinning as it moves away from the coastline; (2) a middle layer with moderate resistivity (5–50 Ωm), ranging from 15 m to 40 m and thickening inland; and (3) a conductive layer, identified as seawater intrusion, with low resistivity (<5 Ωm), situated >40 m deep and deepening farther from the coastline. …”

Biologically-Based Notions About Uterine Bleeding During Myomectomy: Reasoning on Tradition and New Concepts by Andrea Tinelli, Giovanni Pecorella, Gaetano Panese, Andrea Morciano, Antonio Malvasi, Mykhailo Medvediev, Safak Hatirnaz, Radmila Sparic, Michael Stark

“…Given the abundant vascular supply to the myometrium, with blood being delivered to the uterus via the uterine arteries, myomectomy carries a considerable risk of significant hemorrhage during and subsequent to the surgical procedure, with the related complications. This paper aims to elucidate the conventional methodologies employed to mitigate hemorrhage during myomectomy and in the immediate postoperative phase, evaluating the effect of chemical interventions (such as vasopressin, octreotide, tranexamic acid, and uterotonics) alongside mechanical strategies (including uterine artery clamps, embolization, and tourniquets) to curtail bleeding during the myomectomy process. …”
