Modern mental fatigue detection methods include many parameters for evaluation. For example, many researchers use human subjective evaluation or driving parameters to assess this human condition. Development of a method for detecting the functional state of mental fatigue is an extremely important task.

Since most studies focus on head and neck cancers or oral carcinomas, for squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva, no standardized and agreed on pathological tumor grading system, yielding prognostic significance, could be determined so far.
Material And Methods: To determine prognostic associations of different grading systems with regard to groin lymph node metastasis, 73 cases of vulvar carcinomas (VC) were re-examined within our study and Broder's and Bryne's grading system individually performed.
Article Synopsis
- A new non-invasive diagnostic test for endometriosis using salivary miRNA has been developed, but current healthcare provider practices regarding this test are unclear.
- A web-based survey conducted from November 2023 to January 2024 assessed the opinions of gynecologic professionals, revealing that about 90% viewed the test as too costly and that most did not see it as a replacement for standard diagnostic methods.
- Results indicated disparities in perceptions about the test's applicability and usefulness based on the level of expertise, with less experienced gynecologists having a more optimistic view compared to their specialized counterparts.
: Vulvar cancer (VC) comprises a small fraction of female neoplasms with notable high-incidence clusters among German regions. Despite a proposed impact of nationwide lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic on oncological diseases, the effect on VC staging and tumor characteristics remains yet to be resolved; therefore, analyzing pathological data from patients with squamous cell VC pre-, during, and post-COVID in a high-incidence region may offer insights into potential epidemiological and clinical trends. : We identified a total of 90 patients who were diagnosed at the Institute of Pathology, University Hospital Saarland, between 2018 and 2023, and defined three distinct cohorts: a pre-COVID cohort (2018-2019), a COVID cohort (2020-2021), and a post-COVID cohort (2022-2023).

Material And Techniques: We are presenting a pilot project at the University Women's Hospital in Homburg, in which medical students complete an endoscopic hands-on course as part of the block internship gynaecology and obstetrics.
