Background: Proper pain control after cesarean delivery is of high clinical importance to the recovery and relief of patients after surgical delivery.
Objective: We aimed to compare fixed time interval to on-demand regimens of nonopioid analgesics and to assess whether a protocol that is based on intravenous administration is superior to oral administration.
Study Design: This was a randomized controlled trial performed between April 2017 and May 2018.
Background: When a woman with an endometrioma presents with acute abdominal pain, it is unclear whether ovarian torsion should be suspected.
Objectives: To compare patient characteristics, imaging results, and surgical management of endometriomas in elective versus emergent surgeries.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included women treated at our institution during the period 1990-2015 who presented with histologically verified endometrioma and who underwent either planned surgery or emergent surgery due to suspected adnexal torsion.
Study Question: Does repeat administration of misoprostol for early pregnancy loss increase the treatment success rate?
Summary Answer: Repeat administration of misoprostol does not increase the treatment success rate, and is associated with more analgesics use.
What Is Known Already: Misoprostol reduces the need for surgical evacuation and shortens the time to complete expulsion in patients with early pregnancy loss. However, the impact of repeat doses of misoprostol is not clear.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the long term effect of HSP on endothelial function in children and adolescents.
Methods: This research was an observational prospective study.
