Chronicles of an uncommon term abdominal pregnancy with successful outcome: a case report.

Background: Intra-abdominal pregnancies, while rare, present with unique diagnostic and management challenges. We present a case of a 25-year-old para 2 + 1, black African woman, who was referred from a peripheral Health Centre level IV in the Northern part of Uganda to a Regional Referral Hospital due to an abnormal presentation with easily palpable fetal parts. This case emphasizes the significance of prompt diagnosis, interdisciplinary collaboration, surgical planning, and managing the placenta in advanced intra-abdominal pregnancies.

Helicobacter pylori heteroresistance to clarithromycin in adults-New data by in situ detection and improved concept.

Background: Clarithromycin (Cla) heteroresistance of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infections is commonly assessed by comparing the resistance status of antrum and corpus biopsy samples and by demonstrating the discrepancy between them (interniche heteroresistance). However, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique is capable of showing the synchronous presence of susceptible and resistant bacteria (intraniche heteroresistance), enabling the detection of heteroresistant H pylori populations within one biopsy sample.

Materials And Methods: Antrum and corpus biopsy specimens of 305 H pylori-infected patients were investigated with an rRNA-targeted Cla-resistance FISH test.

[Application of levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel in advanced Parkinson's disease].

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder around the world. Levodopa has remained the "gold standard" of the therapy even several decades after its introduction. Chronic levodopa treatment is associated with the development of motor complications in most patients.

[Obstetrical and gynecological relevance of inflammatory bowel disease].

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease may show a life long persistence, while female fertility is time-limited.

Aim: The aim of the authors was to obtain more knowledge about the obstetrical-gynecological aspects of this disorder.

Methods: The authors evaluated 100 patients with inflammatory bowel disease and 100 healthy women with a self-composed questionnaire.
