: The most common variant of mixed urinary incontinence is stress-induced urge urinary incontinence with the correlating urodynamic findings of cough-induced detrusor overactivity (CIDO). This prospective study assessed the clinical outcomes and leakage improvement among patients with CIDO following conservative or surgical treatment. : We included patients with CIDO treated at our tertiary referral center from January 2018 to July 2021 in this prospective cohort study.

Methods: Pregnant women were prospectively enrolled from March 2021 to March 2022, at the time of COVID-19 vaccination. Pregnant women exposed to at least one dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine from conception to 11 weeks of gestations and 6 days were compared with pregnant women exposed to the vaccine from 12 weeks to the end of pregnancy.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the mental health of pregnant individuals during the early COVID-19 pandemic and the potential factors associated. A Swiss online survey was proposed to individuals who gave birth during the pandemic period from March 2020. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 questions (GAD-7), and Impact Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) were evaluated and used to defined mental health impairment as a composite outcome.

PFS and OS survival were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyze factors predicting overall survival and progression-free survival.

Methods: We analyzed surgical data and oncologic outcome of histologically proven stage IIIC endometrial cancer patients who were treated at our institution via laparotomy or via laparoscopic surgery. All the patients underwent a systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy and a complete tumor resection.
The risk of lymph nodal metastases in endometrial cancer varies greatly according to the characteristics of the primary tumor. Surgical staging with a systematic lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer is debated since three decades. On one hand, it provides important pathological information on the spread of the tumor allowing for an appropriate decision making on adjuvant treatment but on the other side it is characterized by a non-negligible short and long-term morbidity.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with endometrial cancer undergoing a laparoscopic NIR-ICG SLN mapping followed by a systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. Inclusion criteria were a grade 3 endometrial cancer or a high-risk histology (papillary serous, clear cell carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, and neuroendocrine carcinoma) and a completion pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy to the renal vessels after SLN mapping.
