Enhanced Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Female Urinary Incontinence Using Static and Functional Transperineal Ultrasonography.

: To investigate the utility of transperineal ultrasound in detecting stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and identify optimal anatomical and functional parameters. : Thirty-four women presenting with SUI with or without pelvic organ prolapse between 2012 and 2016 were studied. The control group included patients without SUI who underwent surgery for mild gynecologic disorders or pelvic organ prolapse.

Off-label letrozole for tubal pregnancy monotherapy is not an alternative to methotrexate: a prospective cohort study.

Objectives: Inhibition of estradiol production by letrozole may interfere with physiological effects of progesterone necessary to maintain the pregnancy. Treatment of tubal pregnancy (TP) with letrozole would allow to avoid the disadvantages of methotrexate (MTX). The aim was to compare the effectiveness of letrozole with MTX in the management of TP.

Diagnostic utility of translabial ultrasound in pelvic organ prolapse: a prospective observational study.

Background: The increasing awareness of women's health issues, specifically pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI), has spurred a surge in patients seeking specialised advice for these conditions, necessitating modern diagnostic approaches for such issues. This study explored the diagnostic utility of translabial ultrasound for POP, emphasising its correlation with clinical assessments based on International Continence Society (ICS) criteria.

Methods: Seventy-one patients with POP Quantification System (POP-Q) stage 0-IV with or without UI were prospectively enrolled at Jagiellonian University Medical College between 2014 and 2016.

Bioconcentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the adipose tissue of women with pelvic endometriosis and idiopathic infertility: A case-control study.

Purpose: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), present in air and food, generated during energy production and waste incineration, are known for health toxicity. PAHs may activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, which could in turn modify estrogen-dependent inflammatory pathways in endometriosis. The possible role of PAHs in the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with a local anesthetic compared to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug alone significantly reduce the pain associated with vaginoscopic office hysteroscopy.

Introduction And Objectives: Pain is the most common cause of office hysteroscopy (OH) failure. There is no consensus on alleviation of pain during OH. The aim was to compare the effectiveness of pain-relieving methods during OH.

Comparison of dydrogesterone plus progesterone gel with subcutaneous aqueous progesterone plus progesterone gel for luteal phase supplementation of subsequent in vitro cycle in women after previous cycle failure.

Objectives: The luteal phase supplementation (LPS) of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle is crucial to increase the chance of a live birth. There is no preferred progestogen for use in the general population. The optimal progestogen regimen in the event of prior IVF failure is unknown.

Association of Subclinical Hypothyroidism with Present and Absent Anti-Thyroid Antibodies with PCOS Phenotypes and Metabolic Profile.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) often coexist, but implications of the co-occurrence of two disorders have not yet been established. The objective is to conclude whether SCH with present or absent anti-thyroid antibodies (ATA) impacts on the PCOS phenotype and alters biochemical or clinical parameters.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary reference center.

Male factor infertility in the Comprehensive Procreational Health Protection Program at the University Hospital in Cracow.

Objectives: Quality of semen is one of the most important factors contributing to couples' chance of natural conception. There are many confirmed or potential factors that influence semen analysis results. To estimate the incidence and analyze male factor infertility.

Current management of cervical cancer in Poland-Analysis of the questionnaire trial for the years 2002-2014 in relation to ASCO 2016 recommendations.

Objectives: To assess the survival of patients with cervical cancer (CC). Since the recommendations concerning cervical cancer management adopted by Polish medical societies do not differ significantly from the ESGO or non-European guidelines, and the fact that evaluation of the system for CC treatment in Poland, as well as the mortality rate of Polish women with CC, which is 70% higher than the average for European Union (EU) countries, justifies the hypothesis that treatment of CC in Poland deviates from the Polish and international recommendations. This article puts forward the current management of cervical cancer in Poland and discusses it in the context of ASCO guidelines.

Occult uterine leiomyosarcoma in women undergoing abdominal and minimally invasive surgeries for myomas.

Objectives: To estimate (i) the incidence of occult uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) in patients operated on for presumedmyomas, and (ii) the proportion of occult LMS to preoperatively diagnosed LMS in a tertiary center.

Material And Methods: An Institutional Review Board-approved retrospective cohort study was performed. The electronicdatabase of 30,476 patients was searched for women who had undergone surgery due to presumed myomas (N = 2675) as well as those with uterine LMS recognized via histology (N = 10) between January 2010 and December 2016.

Occult uterine malignancy during laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy.

Objectives: To estimate the incidence of occult uterine malignancies during laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH).

Material And Methods: Retrospective cohort study based on archival data (2010-2016) of the Department of Gynecology and Oncology, Jagiellonian University.

Results: Medical records of 696 women, who underwent LSH were analyzed.

Laparoscopic Intervention in Acute Crohn's Disease Involving an Ovary.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that may involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Acute manifestations in female internal reproductive organs are rare and have been described in only a few cases. A 27-year-old nulligravida woman diagnosed with CD presented with pelvic pain, fever, and a palpable mass (confirmed by ultrasound) in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen.

Endometrial cancer and hyperplasia rate in women before menopause with abnormal uterine bleeding undergoing endometrial sampling.

Introduction: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the most common symptom of endometrial cancer (EC) and endometrial hyperplasia with (AH) or without (EH) atypia. Risk of malignancy and hyperplasia is significantly lower in premenopausal than in postmenopausal women. Only 10% of EC occurs before menopause.

[Analysis of histological type and staging of cervical cancer as prognostic factors among women treated in the Department of Gynecology and Oncology, Jagiellonian University in the years 2001-2014].

Introduction: Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common, in terms of incidence of new cases, cancer in women and the third leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. Survival of patients with CC depends on many factors, including the type of cancer, grading, FIGO staging and treatment.

Material And Methods: Analysis of survival of 524 patients diagnosed with invasive and non-invasive CC depending on histopathologic diagnosis, clinical staging, tumor grading and combination of therapy.

Leiomyosarcoma in the mandible: A rare case report.

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignancy which very rarely occurs in maxillofacial location, and the course of the disease is not very characteristic.In this case report, we present a 58-year-old female patient with a painless tumor of the left angle of the mandible causing slight asymmetry of the face. She also reported that she observed deterioration in fitting of the lower denture in the oral cavity for several months, which she had used successfully for 5 years.
