Efficacy of a New Crosslinked Hyaluronan Gel in the Prevention of Intrauterine Adhesions.

Background And Objectives: The authors sought to assess the effect of the use of a new crosslinked hyaluronan (NCH) gel on the prevention of intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) in women underwent curettage in the second trimester.

Methods: Between June 2016 and September 2017, 60 patients who underwent curettage for retained placental tissue after medically induced or spontaneous pregnancy loss in the second trimester were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups: Group 1 patients received curettage plus NCH gel (intervention group), and group 2 patients received curettage alone (control group).

Chronic urinary retention after surgery for a rare case of adult presacral teratoma.

Background: Presacral teratomas are usually observed in the first two decades of life and have a 50-67% incidence of malignant transformation. Surgery is the treatment of choice.

Case Report: Here, we report the case of 24-year-old female with chronic urinary retention after surgery for a presacral teratoma.

Nephrotic sydrome developing in severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

We report a case that developed nephrotic syndrome during hospitalization for severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome without history of acute renal failure. During hospi- talization, she developed persistent ascites and respiratory distress. The 24 hours urine protein analysis revealed significant proteinuria and renal biopsy showed global and seg- mental sclerosis in glomeruli, mesangial arteritis, proliferations in visceral epithelial cells (IgA nephropathy).

A rare case of lymphangiomyomatosis treated with leuprolide acetate: five-years follow-up.

Lymphangiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare and systemic disease that is characterized by the abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle-like cells in the lungs and along the axial lymphatic system. The authors herein present a rare case of LAM that was treated with long-term use of leuprolide acetate, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa).

Hemoperitoneum and acute abdomen caused by the rupture of ovarian granulosa cell tumor: a case report.

Granulosa cell tumors (GCT) constitute 70% of all ovarian sex-cord stromal tumors, which account for less than five percent of all ovarian carcinoma. The authors herein report a rare case of a ruptured GCT of the ovary in a 43-year-old female who was admitted to the emergency department with signs of acute abdomen.
