Objective: To compare 24-month patient-reported outcomes following laparoscopic radiofrequency volumetric thermal ablation (RFVTA) and laparoscopic myomectomy in patients with uterine fibroids.
Method: An interim analysis of 24-month follow-up data from a randomized controlled trial was performed at Tübingen University Women's Hospital between November 1, 2012 and May 30, 2015. Premenopausal patients, at least 18years of age, who were menstruating, were randomly assigned to be treated for symptomatic uterine fibroids with either RFVTA or laparoscopic myomectomy.
Objective: To compare the mean hospital discharge times and perioperative outcomes for radiofrequency volumetric thermal ablation (RFVTA) of fibroids and laparoscopic myomectomy (LM).
Methods: The present postmarket, randomized, prospective, single-center, longitudinal, comparative study, conducted in Tübingen, Germany, evaluated the outcomes of RFVTA and the current standard of care (LM) for symptomatic uterine fibroids in women who desired uterine conservation. The surgeons were blinded to the treatment until all fibroids had been mapped by laparoscopic ultrasound.
Objectives: To analyze characteristic features and details on motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) of the cricothyroid and vocalis muscles from single-pulse cortical transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in normal subjects to characterize cortical motor representation of laryngeal muscles.
Study Design: Prospective, experimental investigation on healthy volunteers.
Method: MEPs of the cricothyroid and vocalis muscles elicited by cortical TMS with a figure-8-shaped coil were investigated in two groups of six healthy subjects each, with special regard to MEP amplitude as a function of the coil position on the head surface along the interaural line.
