Purpose: To assess the contribution of the terms and definitions recently described by international endometrial tumor analysis (IETA) group when evaluating endometrial lesions on power Doppler imaging.
Methods: Patients requiring endometrial sampling were examined prospectively by transvaginal B-mode and power Doppler sonography (PDS) the day before scheduled diagnostic procedure. Sonographic features were classified using IETA group classification.
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the vaginal preparation with povidone-iodine prior to caesarean delivery decreased the incidence of postpartum endometritis.
Methods: The present study was a prospective randomized controlled trial in which subjects received a vaginal preparation with povidone-iodine solution immediately prior to caesarean delivery or received no vaginal preparation. The primary outcome measure was the rate of postpartum endometritis.
Background: To evaluate the effect of timing of episiotomy repair on peripartum blood loss.
Method: In this case-controlled study, nulliparous women were grouped as: group 1: no episiotomy (control; n = 82); group 2: midline episiotomy repair after placental removal (n = 76); group 3: midline episiotomy repair before placental removal (n = 78); group 4: mediolateral episiotomy repair after placental removal (n = 84), and group 5: mediolateral episiotomy repair before placental removal (n = 80). Hemoglobin and hematocrit values were evaluated at admission and 24 h postpartum.
Aim: To compare the influence of different delivery forms of estrogen therapy (ET) on serum lipid levels.
Methods: For this prospective, randomized, controlled study, 132 surgically menopausal women were assigned to 12 months of therapy with oral conjugated estrogen 0.625 mg/day (n = 35), intranasal 300 microg/day estradiol hemihydrate (n = 33), percutaneous gel 1.

A recurrence of ovarian mucinous cysts is very rare. Over a period of 21 months, a 20-year-old patient had three laparotomies resulting initially in the removal of one ovary with a mucinous cystadenoma and two cystectomies for the same pathology, but ultimately leading to hysterectomy and salphingo-oopherectomy. Because mucinous tumors are usually benign and most of the time multilocular, management of young patients is challenging, especially in the case of recurrence.
