Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in women with transformation zone type 3: cervical biopsy versus large loop excision.

Objective: To compare the proportion of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher (CIN2+) in cervical biopsies with that in large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) specimens in women aged ≥45 years with transformation zone type 3 (TZ3).

Design: Multicentre cross-sectional study.

Setting: Three colposcopy clinics in the Central Denmark Region.

Assessment of Zinc Nanoparticle Effect and Expression of Zinc Uptake Gene in Drug Resistance Acinetobacter baumannii Strain FMHLN5.

Background: Drug resistance bacteria pose an increasing threat to public health. Antimicrobial agents often lack efficacy toward recently developed drug resistance bacteria. Nanoparticles are one of the most effective treatment agents.

Nonspecific Symptoms in a Rare Case of Urethral Adenocarcinoma in a 58-Year-Old Female.

Cancer of the urethra is very rare with an age-adjusted incidence of only 0.6 per million women in Europe. The etiology is multifactorial and the incidence increases with age, with the highest rates in patients 75 years or older.

Endometrial Stromal Nodule: A Rarity and a Pathological Challenge.

Endometrial stromal tumors are rare, and endometrial stromal nodule is the least common. In the region of Middle Jutland, Denmark, only two cases are reported since 1995. The nodules are benign; nevertheless, hysterectomy is the treatment of choice.

Paraurethral leiomyoma in a postmenopausal woman: first European case.

Leiomyomas are benign tumors extending from smooth muscle cells and only few cases of paraurethral leiomyomas have been described in the literature. They are often seen in the reproductive age and around 50% of the cases are asymptomatic. We describe a 59-year-old woman with a solid mobile tumor below the symphysis revealed at a gynecological examination.

[The diagnostic value of human chorionic gonadotrophin ratio compared to single measurements of S-human chorionic gonadotrophin on the outcome of pregnancy of unknown location].

Pregnancy of unknown location is defined by a positive pregnancy test, without visualizing of the intrauterine or extrauterine pregnancy by transvaginal sonography. We present the advantages of using human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) ratio instead of single measurements of S-hCG for predicting the outcomes of pregnancies of unknown location.

[Reasons for removal of intrauterine devices among women in general practice].

Prolonged bleeding or spotting and pain are the most common reasons for women to request early removal of intrauterine device (IUD). We wanted to investigate which parameters influenced the removal of IUDs among women in general practice and to see if there was a difference between copper-releasing IUDs and levonorgestrel-releasing IUDs. In general the women were satisfied with both types of IUDs.

Predictive value of serum human chorionic gonadotropin ratio, progesterone and inhibin A for expectant management of early pregnancies of unknown location.

Objective: To evaluate serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) ratio, progesterone and inhibin A as single parameters and in combination for the prediction of spontaneous resolution of pregnancies of unknown location (PUL).

Study Design: Prospective observational study of 105 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of PUL. Serum levels of hCG, progesterone and inhibin A were determined at the first visit and after 2 days.

[Ultrasonically verified vesicouterine fistula].

We report a case of a vesicouterine fistula occurring after a Caesarean section. There was a noticeable delay in recognizing the fistula, which was, however, clearly visible on a vaginal ultrasound scanning. When urinary incontinence is developed after gynaecologic or obstetric surgery, a fistula must be suspected.
