High Origin of the Medial Circumflex Femoral Artery From the External Iliac Artery in Common Trunk With the Inferior Epigastric Artery.

The medial circumflex femoral artery contributes to the blood supply of the adductor muscles, hip joint, and femoral head. Its variations are common and important in the surgical field, as its damage can cause femoral head necrosis. Most commonly, the variations include different origin patterns from the femoral artery or its branches.

The histone chaperone HIRA promotes the induction of host innate immune defences in response to HSV-1 infection.

Host innate immune defences play a critical role in restricting the intracellular propagation and pathogenesis of invading viral pathogens. Here we show that the histone H3.3 chaperone HIRA (histone cell cycle regulator) associates with promyelocytic leukaemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) to stimulate the induction of innate immune defences against herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection.

RNA-Seq Analysis of Differentiated Keratinocytes Reveals a Massive Response to Late Events during Human Papillomavirus 16 Infection, Including Loss of Epithelial Barrier Function.

The human papillomavirus (HPV) replication cycle is tightly linked to epithelial cell differentiation. To examine HPV-associated changes in the keratinocyte transcriptome, RNAs isolated from undifferentiated and differentiated cell populations of normal, spontaneously immortalized keratinocytes (NIKS) and NIKS stably transfected with HPV16 episomal genomes (NIKS16) were compared using next-generation sequencing (RNA-Seq). HPV16 infection altered expression of 2,862 cellular genes.

[POLYHEXAMETHYLENE BIGUANID HYDROCHLORIDE (BIGUANELLE) THERAPY OF BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS].

Unlabelled: The aim of our study was to determine the efficacy and tolerability of local therapy with polyhexamethylene biguanid hydrochloride (BIGUANELLE) in women with anaerobic vaginal infection.

Material And Methods: We include in our study 23 women (18-50) with established by AMSEL criteria bacterial vaginosis. In all of the women at the beginning and at the end of the survey was performed gynecological examination and microbiological research (AMSEL).

Can oral anaerobic bacteria cause adverse pregnancy outcomes?

Aim: Maternal periodontal infection has been recognized as a risk factor for premature and low birthweight infants. It is suspected that pathogens causing periodontal disease may translocate to the amniotic cavity and so contribute to triggering an adverse pregnancy outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the presence of specific periodontal pathogens may influence the incidence of preterm labor and premature birth.

Minimally invasive surgery for stress urinary incontinence - mesh complications.

Currently, the most commonly performed surgeries for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are mesh midurethral slings (MUS). They are minimally invasive outpatient procedures, and they are as effective as traditional suburethral slings, open retropubic colposuspension (Burch, Marshall-Marchetti), and laparoscopic retropubic colposuspension. They have a short operative time and fewer postoperative complications.

Uterus preserving vaginal surgery versus vaginal hysterectomy for correction of female pelvic organ prolapse.

Aim: The objective of this study is to evaluate uterus preserving vaginal procedure of cervical amputation with uterosacral ligament plication (modified Manchester operation) and compare it to vaginal hysterectomy regard recurrence rate, duration of surgery, blood loses, intra and post-operative complications, duration of hospital stay.

Methods: Consecutive women with pelvic organ prolapse who underwent either vaginal hyste-rectomy or a modified Manchester procedure were included. Assessments were made preoperatively and at 1-year follow-up, including physical examination with pelvic organ prolapse quantification standardized questionnaires.

Encapsulation of brewing yeast in alginate/chitosan matrix: lab-scale optimization of lager beer fermentation.

Two mathematical models were developed for studying the effect of main fermentation temperature (), immobilized cell mass () and original wort extract (OE) on beer fermentation with alginate-chitosan microcapsules with a liquid core. During the experiments, the investigated parameters were varied in order to find the optimal conditions for beer fermentation with immobilized cells. The basic beer characteristics, i.

Combination of two anti-stress procedures: our original 4-corner deltoid-like vaginal suspension and suburethral duplication sec. Lazarevski in patients with genital prolapse.

Aim: The effectiveness of the combination of two anti-stress procedures: 1) our original 4-corner deltoid-like vaginal suspension; and 2) suburethral duplication sec. Lazarevski are analysed.

Study Design: 144 women, undergoing vaginal hysterectomy, combined with our original 4-corner deltoid-like vaginal suspension and suburethral duplication sec.
