Safety and efficacy of ovarian tissue autotransplantation: A systematic literature review.

Ovarian tissue autotransplantation is an innovative fertility preservation technique that has provoked ongoing investigations. The purpose of the present study was to assess the safety and reproductive performance of ovarian tissue autotransplantation. This review is conducted according to PRISMA guidelines.

Ovarian Morphometric and Histologic Characteristics and Correlation with Clinical Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Reproductive lifespan is determined by the reserve of ovarian follicles; their quality and quality determine the fertility potential at a given point in time for a particular individual. Inter-individual variations related to morphometry, laterality, medical history, demographic characteristics and ethnicity may impact ovarian histology, which however, has not been extensively studied or documented. The present cross-sectional study aims to investigate the potential association of clinical factors (age, medical and obstetric history) with ovarian morphometry and histology in females of reproductive age in the local population.

Highly Differentiated Follicular Carcinoma of Ovarian Origin: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

(1) Background: Highly differentiated follicular carcinoma of ovarian origin (HDFCO) is an extremely uncommon neoplasm, associated with struma ovarii. There are scarce cases reported in the literature and, subsequently, no reliable conclusions on its pathophysiology, treatment, and prognosis can be drawn. The goal of this study is to enrich the literature on the topic by adding our own experience with a case, and simultaneously accumulate all cases published up to date.

Invasive Prenatal Diagnostic Testing for Aneuploidies in Singleton Pregnancies: A Comparative Review of Major Guidelines.

Sophisticated screening protocols for genetic abnormalities constitute an important component of current prenatal care, aiming to identify high-risk pregnancies and offer appropriate counseling to parents regarding their options. Definite prenatal diagnosis is only possible by invasive prenatal diagnostic testing (IPDT), mainly including amniocentesis and chorionic villous sampling (CVS). The aim of this comparative review was to summarize and compare the existing recommendations on IPDT from the most influential guidelines.

The Emerging Role of Robotic Single-site Approach for Myomectomy: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

To review the existing studies on single-site robotic myomectomy and test the safety and feasibility of this innovative minimally invasive technique. PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar (from their inception to October 2019), as well as Clinicaltrials.gov databases up to April 2020.

Sexual homicide attempt: A case report and a short review of the literature.

Sexuální násilí je předmětem nepřetržitého výzkumu v oblasti forenzních i právních věd při určování profilů pachatelů a obětí a rozpoznávání okolností, které v daném okamžiku částečně odpovídají za vyjádření základních pobídek a podnětů. Široká škála sexuálních zločinů a násilí se týká například sexuálního útoku, znásilnění a sexuálního zabití, které sice sdílejí některé podobné rysy, ale z právních důvodů jsou považovány za samostatné trestné činy. Znásilnění a sexuální zabití jsou některými odborníky vnímány jako různé úrovně sexuálního násilí.

Hirayama disease: diagnostic essentials in neuroimaging.

A 22-year-old male presented with progressive muscular weakness of the upper extremities. MRI of the cervical spine established the final diagnosis of Hirayama disease (HD). HD is a rare disease with benign progress.

A technique for non-deflating balloon catheter removal in female patients.

Removing a foley catheter can sometimes be a challenge, especially when it is related to non-deflating balloons which represent most of the cases. In female patients, due to their urethral anatomy, several techniques have been proposed for balloon puncture when other maneuvers have failed. We present a simple technique for non-deflating balloon catheter removal in an old female patient with a permanent indwelling foley catheter which required no anesthesia.

Ankylosing Spondylitis and Pregnancy: A Literature Review.

Background: Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is the prototype of a group of systemic rheumatic diseases collectively referred to as Spondylarthitides (SpA). It has now become clear that AS is not as rare as previously thought and, although it has an early onset in life affecting patients in their reproductive years, it has not been proved to adversely affect fertility in females.

Objective: The aim of this review is to summarize all the recent data on AS and pregnancy in terms of fertility, disease course and pregnancy outcome from a clinical perspective.

Risk factors for fear of falling in elderly patients with severe knee osteoarthritis before and one year after total knee arthroplasty.

Purpose: To evaluate the regression of fear of falling (FOF) and identify its risk factors in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis before and one year after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods: 11 men and 57 women with a mean age of 73 years and a mean body mass index of 30.36 kg/m2 who had severe (grade 3 or 4) knee osteoarthritis and knee pain of ≥1 year were included.

Transforaminal Percutaneous Endoscopic Discectomy in Parkinson Disease: Preliminary Results and Short Review of the Literature.

Objective: To study the effectiveness of Transforaminal Percutaneous Endoscopic Discectomy (TPED) for lumbar disc herniation in patients with Parkinson disease (PD).

Methods: Fifteen patients diagnosed with PD and lumbar disc hernia were recruited to the study. All patients underwent TPED.

Transforaminal Percutaneous Endoscopic Discectomy for Lumbar Disc Herniation in Parkinson's Disease: A Case-Control Study.

Study Design: A case-control study.

Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of transforaminal percutaneous endoscopic discectomy (TPED) in Parkinson's disease (PD).

Overview Of Literature: Patients with PD frequently suffer from radiculopathy and low back pain.
