Contribution of Outpatient Ultrasound Transvaginal Biopsy and Puncture in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pelvic Lesions: A Bicenter Study.

Background: The use of transvaginal ultrasound guided biopsy and puncture of pelvic lesions is a minimally invasive technique that allows for accurate diagnosis. It has many advantages compared to other more invasive (lower complication rate) or non-invasive techniques (accurate diagnosis). Furthermore, it offers greater availability, it does not radiate, enables the study of pelvic masses accessible vaginally with ultrasound control in real time, and it is possible to use the colour Doppler avoiding puncturing large vessels among others.

Comprehensive comparison of neonate and adult human platelet transcriptomes.

Understanding the underlying mechanisms of the well-substantiated platelet hyporeactivity in neonates is of interest given their implications for the clinical management of newborns, a population at higher bleeding risk than adults (especially sick and preterm infants), as well as for gaining insight into the regulatory mechanisms of platelet biology. Transcriptome analysis is useful in identifying mRNA signatures affecting platelet function. However, human fetal/neonatal platelet transcriptome analysis has never before been reported.

Hemodynamic state and the role of angiotensin II in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in the rabbit.

Objective: To investigate the hemodynamic state in the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in the rabbit model and to determine the role of angiotensin II in the pathophysiology of this syndrome.

Design: Experimental study.

Setting: Physiology laboratory.
