Management of pelvic organ prolapse of ruptured and extruded bladder from a rare complication of vaginal hysterectomy: a case presentation.

Background: The prolapse of a ruptured and extruded bladder after vaginal hysterectomy is rare in clinical practice. We report the case of a significant mass that prolapsed from the vagina after a vaginal hysterectomy in a multiparous postmenopausal woman.

Case Presentation: A 67-year old multiparous postmenopausal Chinese woman was found to have a significant mass extruding from the vagina after a vaginal hysterectomy.

A prospective randomized controlled trial comparing two different treatments of intrauterine adhesions.

Research Question: Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) are primarily caused by trauma to the endometrium, and hysteroscopy is presently the main treatment for IUA. However, high rates of post-operative adhesion re-formation remain a problem. In this study, the combination of an intrauterine device (IUD) with a Foley catheter and the balloon uterine stent were investigated to evaluate their efficacy in preventing adhesion re-formation and the subsequent reproductive outcomes in patients with moderate to severe adhesions.

Synthesis and crystal structure of new dicopper(II) complexes with N,N'-bis-(dipropylenetriamine)oxamide as bridging ligand: effects of the counterions on DNA/protein-binding property and in vitro antitumor activity.

Two new dicopper(II) complexes bridged by N,N'-bis(dipropylenetriamine)oxamide (H2oxdipn), namely, [Cu2(oxdipn)](pic)2(1) and [Cu2(oxdipn)(ClO4)2] (2), where pic represents picrate ion, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, IR and electronic spectral studies, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. In both dicopper(II) complexes, the two copper(II) ions are bridged by trans-oxdipn ligand with the Cu⋯Cu separations of 5.2536(15) and 5.

Giant aneurysm of the basilar artery in an 86 year old woman.

In this article we present an 80 year old female patient with an unruptured giant aneurysm of the basilar artery presenting with posterior circulation ischemic symptoms. Angiography and CT revealed giant basilar aneurysmal dilatation with severe and wide intracranial arteriosclerosis. We described the uniqueness of this case.

Clinical and neuroradiological features of internal watershed infarction and the occlusive diseases of carotid artery system.

Background: To describe the clinical and neuroradiological features of internal watershed (IWS) infarction and to analyze the relationship between IWS infarction and occlusive diseases of carotid artery system.

Methods: We identified 27 IWS infarction patients with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging by commonly used templates within 10 days after the onset. Patients with potential cardiac sources of embolism were excluded.
