To determine whether expansile endocervical crypt involvement (ECI) on pretreatment cervical punch biopsies is a risk factor for high grade cytology recurrence in women following cold coagulation for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). This was a secondary analysis on the results of an observational study of women who had a single cold coagulation cervical treatment between 2001 - 2011 and who were followed up for cytology recurrence. Women with a previous cervical treatment were excluded.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of women who had a single cervical treatment between 2010 and 2011. We identified those women who had a singleton pregnancy subsequent to their cervical treatment until September 2017.
Purpose: To compare the cure rates between women who were treated with cold-coagulation versus large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) or 3 (CIN3) on pretreatment cervical punch biopsies.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of women having had a single cervical treatment for CIN2 or CIN3 on pretreatment cervical punch biopsies between 2010 and 2011. The cure rates were defined as the absence of any dyskaryosis (mild/moderate/severe) on cytology tests during follow-up and were determined at 6 and 12 months after treatment.
Stroke during pregnancy is fortunately a rare event, however, it can have severe consequences, with 9.5% of all maternal deaths being related to stroke. The most common presentation is an ischaemic stroke.

Secondary objective was to identify the ability of a pretreatment cervical punch biopsy to predict cytology recurrence.
Materials And Methods: This was a case series study conducted in an NHS hospital.
Purpose: To determine any risk factors for cytology recurrence in women after cold coagulation ablative treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
Methods: This was a retrospective observational study of a cohort of women having had cold coagulation between 2001 and 2011 in the colposcopy unit of an NHS hospital. We retrospectively collected data from our colposcopy unit database.
Objective: To establish the cure rate at 1 year of patients who have undergone cold coagulation for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
Design: Retrospective review of data for all patients at Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust who had undergone cold coagulation as part of their treatment for CIN between 2001 and 2011. Follow-up data up to December 2012 were analyzed.
Cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) usually occurs sporadically, but occasionally it is familial without evidence of Mendelian inheritance. The investigators previously reported an association between dominant inheritance of clinically significant atrial shunts (large persistent foramina ovale and small atrial septal defects) and migraine with aura in some families. In 1 family, 4 patients with CCHD were linked by relatives with atrial shunts.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how acceptable outpatient hysteroscopy is for patients when using Prilocaine as pain relief and whether the current practice of administering it only when indicated by pain is suitable.
- Participants were 100 women who completed pain questionnaires post-procedure, revealing that those who received Prilocaine reported significantly more pain during the procedure, leading to a preference for general anesthesia.
- The findings suggest that pain greatly impacts patients' acceptance of the procedure, indicating that the selective use of Prilocaine may not be appropriate, and future research should focus on optimizing pain management strategies.
