Article Synopsis
- Hysteroscopy and hysteroscopic myomectomy generally have low complication rates.
- Two patients experienced complications after undergoing hystroscopic myomectomy for prolapsing submucous myomas following uterine artery embolization (UAE), leading to bacteremia in both cases.
- Case 1 recovered with antibiotics, while Case 2 required abdominal myomectomy and surgery to remove a necrotic myoma, highlighting the rare risk of septicemia in such scenarios.
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive option for females with symptomatic leiomyomas. Studies detailing a possible risk with an intrauterine device (IUD) during UAE are limited. A 43-year-old female (Gravida 2, Para 2) underwent UAE with an IUD .

Three HPV vaccines have been available, with Gardasil-9 being the most recently approved in the USA. Gardasil-9 covers high-risk HPV strains 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 as well as low-risk strains 6 and 11.

Bottlenecks to traditional immunoassays and gene expression assays include large sample consumption, time consuming experimental procedures, and complex data analysis.
Method And Results: Here, we demonstrate two high-throughput assays measuring both messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and proteins in a single sample run on a Luminex platform.
