An asymptomatic male individual carrying a 5.72 Mb deletion in 8p23.2‑p23.3: A case report.

Numerous rearrangements in the 8p23 chromosomal region have been reported; included in these rearrangements are isolated deletions in this area. Such deletions are associated with a wide range of phenotypic characteristics, including motor impairment, epilepsy, intellectual disability, cardiac defects and seizures. The present study describes the case of a 30-year-old asymptomatic man that carries a deletion in 8p23.

Paraovarian tumor of borderline malignancy: A case report.

Paraovarian tumors of borderline malignancy (PTBM) are exceedingly rare, with only slightly over 60 cases reported worldwide. This report presents the case of a 22-year-old nulliparous patient who incidentally discovered a left paraovarian mass during a routine abdominal ultrasound. Subsequent MRI revealed a 2.

Perforation of the Cervix by the Strings of an Intrauterine Device (IUD): a Novel Case and Systematic Review of the Literature.

Geriatric population is most vulnerable to various emerging communicable and noncommunicable diseases due to various socio-economic, physiological, psychological and nutritional risk factors. Adequate nutritional status is utmost important in older age as it helps in maintaining the immune response and preventing the morbidities and mortalities in this age. Thus, the opportunistic screening of malnutrition among geriatric population gives an extra edge for achievement of healthy ageing in the elderly.

Peripartum Ηysterectomy: A Four-Year Obstetric and Anesthetic Experience in a Tertiary Referral Hospital in Greece.

Background Although peripartum hysterectomy (PH) is a life-saving procedure in cases of abnormal placentation and postpartum hemorrhage, it can be associated with major obstetric and anesthetic complications. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the incidence, etiology, perioperative anesthetic and obstetric management, complications, and fetal outcomes in women undergoing PH in a single tertiary referral hospital in Greece. Methodology This was a retrospective analysis of medical records of women who underwent emergency or elective PH in our hospital between January 2015 and December 2018.

Improving tissue characterization, differentiation and diagnosis in gynecology with the narrow-band imaging technique: A systematic review.

Narrow-band imaging (NBI), an on-demand, real-time endoscopic imaging technique, was developed to enhance visualization of the mucosal vascular network and surface texture. The present article provides a systematic review of studies that assessed the use of NBI in gynecological endoscopy. The following electronic databases were searched: PubMed (1950-2020), Google Scholar (2004-2020) and Cochrane Library (2010-2020).

Evaluation of the efficacy of cervical pessary combined with vaginal progesterone in women with a short cervix and additional risk factors for preterm delivery.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of a combined management with cervical pessary and vaginal progesterone of women with a singleton pregnancy and a short cervix in both low and high risk-cases based on their previous obstetrical history and maternal factors.

Study Design: This was a prospective cohort study of women with a singleton pregnancy and a sonographically detected mid-trimester cervical length ≤ 25 mm. The high-risk group consisted of women with a history of a previous spontaneous preterm birth (PB), or a second-trimester miscarriage, or a loop electrosurgical excision procedure of the cervix (LEEP) while the low-risk group of women without such a history.

3D vocal power Doppler sonography for the estimation of tumor volume and vascularization in stage IB1 cervical cancer.

Purpose: To evaluate the tumor's volume and intratumoral vascularization with 3D vocal power Doppler ultrasound in patients with stage 1B1 cervical cancer.

Methods: This was a prospective study on patients with cervical cancer and stage 1B1 disease, which took place between 2012 and 2015. All women had an initial 2D ultrasound examination for the estimation of the tumor volume.

The role of three-dimensional power Doppler hysterosonography (3-DPDS) in distinguishing atypical polypoid adenomyomas (APAs) from other intrauterine tumors: correlation with pathologic findings.

Objective: This study was undertaken to describe the sonographic characteristics of atypical polypoid adenomyomas (APAs) of the uterus and to determine the value of three-dimensional power Doppler hysterosonography (3-DPDS) in distinguishing APA from other polypoid uterine tumors.

Methods: Ninety-five women with a mean age of 37 years (range 28-45) with a suspicious polypoid uterine tumor were referred for preoperative evaluation with 3-DPDS. Sonographic criteria used for the diagnosis of APA were based on a system that consisted of morphological characteristics, histological evaluation and power Doppler imaging.

Characterization of ovarian tumors and staging ovarian cancer with 3-dimensional power Doppler angiography: correlation with pathologic findings.

Objective: The aims of this study were to evaluate ovarian tumors with 3-dimensional power Doppler angiography (3-DPDA), to determine its correlation with histology findings, and to explore its role in staging patients with ovarian cancer.

Methods: Three hundred eighteen women with an unknown unilateral pelvic mass were referred for preoperative evaluation by 3-DPDA angiography. Patients' ages ranged from 18 to 72 years (47.

The role of 3-dimensional power Doppler imaging in the assessment of ovarian teratoma in pregnancy: a case report.

Background. Conventional sonography is the primary imaging tool for these pregnant women who present with an ovarian teratoma. In some cases, however, sonography diagnosis is difficult.

Three Dimensional Power Doppler evaluation of human endometrium after administration of oxytocine receptor antagonist (OTRa) in an IVF program.

Purpose: To compare endometrial and subendometrial morphological changes and vascularity as measured by 3D Power Doppler sonography, based on a specific scoring system between women subjected or not to oxytocine receptor antagonist (OTRa) during IVF cycles.

Methods: Twenty-six women were divided into groups according to OTRa (Atosiban tractocide) administration. The first group (control n = 13 women) was examined with 3D Power Doppler 3 days after embryo transfer.
