Article Synopsis
  • - Adhesion formation after gynecological surgery is a persistent issue, particularly with procedures like myomectomy which is known to cause significant adhesions that can affect fertility.
  • - Minimally invasive surgical methods, along with adhesion-reducing substances, can lower the risk of adhesions but can't completely prevent them, necessitating careful consideration of the risks versus benefits during infertility surgeries.
  • - This review aims to assess the incidence and causes of adhesion formation and to explore the most effective preventive strategies to manage this complication.

Background: In the past, some pregnant women have been recommended to be in activity restriction because of the presumed increased risk of preterm birth due to the increased release of catecholamines, which might stimulate myometrial activity, during exercise and aerobic activity.

The evaluation of anti-dsDNA antibodies represents one of the essential diagnostic and prognostic marker features in patients affected by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). In this study, we have compared immunoblotting (IB) with Crithidia luciliae indirect immunofluorescence test (CLIFT) and chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) in 91 patients referred to our hospital for anti-dsDNA antibodies detection. The concordance and correlation measured by Cohen's kappa and Spearman's coefficient respectively was significant between CLIFT and CLIA (0.
