Introduction: The transfusion rate in hysterectomies for benign pathology is almost 3%. However, despite the strong interest in reducing intraoperative bleeding, limited evidence is available regarding the technical aspects concerning uterine vessel management during a total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). Uterine artery (UA) closure in TLH can be performed at the origin from the internal iliac artery or at the uterus level (UL).

May 2021
Structural disorder has been shown to be responsible for profound changes of the interaction-energy landscapes and collective dynamics of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic nanostructures. Weakly-disordered 2D ensembles have a few particularly stable magnetic configurations with large basins of attraction from which the higher-energy metastable configurations are separated by only small downward barriers. In contrast, strongly-disordered ensembles have rough energy landscapes with a large number of low-energy local minima separated by relatively large energy barriers.

- The study assessed the impact of synbiotic ice cream on health indicators among young military members undergoing field training, focusing on factors like gut microbiota and salivary IgA levels.
- Sixty-five participants were divided into two groups: one received synbiotic ice cream with beneficial bacteria and inulin, while the other received a placebo for 30 days, followed by evaluations after a 5-day training period.
- Results showed that while the synbiotic supplementation did not significantly affect gastrointestinal symptoms or salivary IgA levels, it did lead to reductions in tenseness and sleepiness, suggesting potential benefits for well-being during physically and mentally stressful conditions.
Objective: This study aimed to describe a rare case of a serous borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) diagnosed during pregnancy in a 15-year old adolescent.
Results: The suspect of BOT was raised at a transvaginal ultrasound scan in early first trimester (at 5 weeks of amenorrhea), due to the presence of a moderately vascularized irregular papilla in the context of a unilocular low-level right ovarian cyst. The patient and her parents required termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the diagnosis of an ovarian lesion.
Laparoscopic Excision of a 5-cm Retroaortic Relapse of Ovarian Cancer.

December 2020
Objective: To demonstrate the feasibility of laparoscopic secondary cytoreduction of isolated lymph node relapse of ovarian carcinoma.
Design: A video explanation of a safe excision of ovarian cancer relapse using pictures to show the anatomic landmark of the retroperitoneum guiding the procedure.
Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ospedale degli Infermi Hospital, Biella, Italy.
