Background: The aim of our study was to compare the analgesic/sedative effects of various fundus-related procedural pain management strategies on the risk of retinopathy in premature infants.
Method: This was a prospective comparative study involving a total of 94 neonates randomized to three groups meeting the criteria for at-risk neonates. Ophthalmologic screening was performed to evaluate the outcome of three procedural pain management strategies.
It has been hypothesized that fetal prematurity or Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) could be related to the presence of factor V of Leiden mutation. This mutation is associated with a higher incidence of pregnancy difficulties that can result in preterm birth. The frequency of Leiden mutation was investigated in the group of newborns with a low birth weight below 1500 g over a six-year period from 2015 to 2020.

- Decision-making for vestibular schwannoma (VS) treatment depends on symptoms, tumor size, patient preferences, and medical team experience, but objective tools can aid this process.
- A study utilized machine learning to analyze data from 93 patients to predict the need for active treatment through two methods: case-based reasoning (CBR) and personalized dynamic analysis (PDA).
- Findings showed that using a few key factors like tumor size and audiometric scores, the need for treatment could be predicted with high accuracy, suggesting a potential simplification of treatment strategies and fewer required examinations.
Purpose: To assess and compare perioperative parameters in two groups of patients treated by different laparoscopic techniques of lymph node dissection (LND) for gynecologic cancer.
Patients And Methods: Between April 1996 and March 2001, 59 consecutive women with microinvasive cervical cancer (N = 5) or clinical stage I endometrial cancer (N = 54) underwent laparoscopic LND during a primary staging procedure using an electrosurgery (ELC) or ultrasonic (US) operative technique. The two groups were compared for perioperative outcomes.
Objective: To compare perioperative parameters in two groups of women with different laparoscopic operative techniques in surgical staging of endometrial cancer (EC).
Study Design: Thirty randomly allocated and laparoscopically treated women with EC. Fifteen patients were operated by electrosurgery, 15 patients by laparosonic operative technique.
