Robotic Systems in Operating Theaters: New Forms of Team-Machine Interaction in Health Care.

Background: Health information systems have developed rapidly and considerably during the last decades, taking advantage of many new technologies. Robots used in operating theaters represent an exceptional example of this trend. Yet, the more these systems are designed to act autonomously and intelligently, the more complex and ethical questions arise about serious implications of how future hybrid clinical team-machine interactions ought to be envisioned, in situations where actions and their decision-making are continuously shared between humans and machines.

Analysis of short-term efficacy as defined by RECIST and pathological response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy comprised paclitaxel and cisplatin followed by radical surgery in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer: A prospective observational study.

The purpose of this study is to investigate short-term efficacy as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and pathological response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) comprised of paclitaxel and cisplatin (TP) followed by radical surgery in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).This is a prospective study involving 61 women with histologically confirmed LACC referred for NACT following radical surgery at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital between April 2013 and January 2015.The efficacy of NACT was evaluated by the RECIST.

Effects of an Antagonistic Analog of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone on Endometriosis in a Mouse Model and In Vitro.

Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic disorder causing dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and subfertility. Receptors for the growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) were found in endometriotic tissues. Antagonists of GHRH have been used to inhibit the growth of endometriotic endometrial stromal cells.

Diagnosis and Therapy of Female Pelvic Organ Prolapse. Guideline of the DGGG, SGGG and OEGGG (S2e-Level, AWMF Registry Number 015/006, April 2016).

The aim was to establish an official interdisciplinary guideline, published and coordinated by the German Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG). The guideline was developed for use in German-speaking countries. In addition to the Germany Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics, the guideline has also been approved by the Swiss Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (SGGG) and the Austrian Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (OEGGG).
