Prenatal ultrasonographic findings of adhesion-membrane complex and its relation with obstetric history.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med

Intrauterine adhesions are usually detected incidentally during routine obstetric ultrasound and remain one of the reasons for concern for both clinicians and patients. Our objective was to document ultrasonographic findings of intrauterine adhesions detected in obstetric ultrasound and to investigate their correlation with obstetric history. Detailed scans were performed in 685 singleton pregnancies at 16-24 weeks' gestation.

- The study aimed to compare the severity of symptoms and health-related quality of life in women who underwent laparoscopic versus robotic myomectomy for uterine fibroids.
- Using a cohort of 33 laparoscopic and 31 robotic patients, researchers found significant improvements in symptom severity and quality of life for both groups one year post-surgery.
- While both procedures showed comparable rates of improvement, the laparoscopy group had slightly better outcomes, but the difference was not statistically significant.
Background: The aim of this case series was to present the ultrasonographic findings, clinical features, management, and outcome of multiple pregnancies with complete hydatidiform mole and coexisting fetus (CHMCF).
Methods: Sonographic features and obstetrical and perinatal outcomes of seven cases with CHMCF were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: A total of seven cases was included in the analysis.
Background: Currently, there is no ideal agent to prevent adhesion formation. We have shown that sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor, reduces post-operative adhesion formation by vasodilatation and increases fibrinolytic activity. Here, we evaluated whether tadalafil, a long-acting PDE-5 inhibitor, decreases post-operative adhesion reformation in rats.

Design: Assessment of the expression of messenger RNA (mRNA) for type 1 and 2,5α-reductase isoenzyme gene (SDR5A1, SDR5A2) and aromatase (CYP19A) in dermal papillae cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
Setting: University hospital.
