Objective: To investigate the association between personal history, anthropometric features and lifestyle characteristics and endometrial malignancy in women with abnormal vaginal bleeding.
Methods: Prospective observational cohort assessed by descriptive and multivariable logistic regression analyses. Three features-age, body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters), and nulliparity-were defined a priori for baseline risk assessment of endometrial malignancy.
Background: The ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system-magnetic resonance imaging (O-RADS-MRI) score decreases the incidence of indeterminate adnexal masses from 18% to 31% with ultrasound till 10.8% to 12.5% with MRI.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of a newly established protocol for medical abortion and to measure the level of satisfaction of the patients who experienced abortion at home.
Methods: This retrospective study compared all the patients who had an early medical abortion at up to 9 weeks of gestation during the two drastically different periods between December 2018 and March 2021 ("hospital" and "home" groups).
Objective: To describe the ultrasound features of different endometrial and other intracavitary pathologies inpre- and postmenopausal women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding, using the International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) terminology.
Methods: This was a prospective observational multicenter study of consecutive women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding. Unenhanced sonography with color Doppler and fluid-instillation sonography were performed.
Objectives: To validate prospectively the ADNEX magnetic resonance (MR) scoring system to assess adnexal masses and to evaluate a new, modified ADNEX MR scoring system that incorporates diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping.
Methods: Between January 2015 and September 2018, 323 consecutive women with adnexal masses diagnosed on transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) underwent standardized MR imaging (MRI) including diffusion and dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences. Of these, 131 underwent subsequent surgery.
