Instruments to Identify Menstrual Complaints and Their Impact on Adolescents: A Systematic Review.

Study Objective: The aim of this review was to create an overview of available instruments used to evaluate the menstrual complaints of dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in adolescents.

Methods: The search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and PsycINFO on December 1, 2022. Studies published in English reporting on menstrual complaints among girls aged 10-19 were included.

Role of / methylation analysis in predicting regression or non-regression of CIN2/3 lesions: a protocol of an observational longitudinal cohort study.

Introduction: The clinical course of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) is characterised by a high spontaneous regression rate. Histological assessment is unable to differentiate between CIN2/3 lesions likely to regress and those likely to persist or progress. Most CIN2/3 lesions are treated by surgical excision, leading to overtreatment of a substantial proportion.

Reproducibility of three-dimensional gel installation sonohysterography in the assessment and classification of intrauterine abnormalities.

Objective: Purpose of this study is to determine the interobserver and intraobserver variability of 3D GIS in the assessment of intrauterine abnormalities.

Study Design: Forty five 3D volumes were randomly selected from a larger prospective cohort study that studied the diagnostic accuracy of 3D GIS in addition to 2D GIS. To study interobserver agreement volumes were reviewed by two independent examiners.

Diagnostic and clinical value of 3D gel installation sonohysterography in addition to 2D gel installation sonohysterography in the assessment of intrauterine abnormalities.

Objective: To study the diagnostic value of three-dimensional gel instillation sonography (3D GIS) in addition to two-dimensional (2D) GIS in the assessment of intrauterine abnormalities. Secondly, the clinical value of 3D GIS in the planning for hysteroscopic procedures was evaluated.

Study Design: A prospective cohort study was performed from 2008 till 2010.

Increasing experience in laparoscopic staging of early ovarian cancer.

We assessed the effect of increasing experience of a single surgeon (learning curve) in the laparoscopic staging procedure for women with early ovarian cancer and compared the results with the literature. We retrospectively analysed a total of 25 women with apparent early-stage ovarian cancer who underwent a laparoscopic staging procedure by the same surgeon. Three time periods, based on date of surgery, were compared with respect to operating time, amount of lymph nodes harvested and surgical outcome.

Clarifying the diagnosis of clinically suspected recurrence of cervical cancer: impact of 18F-FDG PET.

Unlabelled: Clarifying the diagnosis of clinically suspected recurrence of cervical cancer can be challenging. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical value of (18)F-FDG PET in this context.

Methods: The medical records of a cohort of 40 (18)F-FDG PET referrals in whom recurrence of cervical cancer was clinically suspected were reviewed.

Sentinel lymph node detection in early stage uterine cervix carcinoma: a systematic review.

Objective: The aim of this study was to systematically review the diagnostic performance of Sentinel Node (SN) detection for assessing the nodal status in early stage cervical carcinoma, and to determine which technique (using blue dye, Technetium-99m colloid (99mTc), or the combined method) had the highest success rate in terms of detection rate and sensitivity.

Methods: A comprehensive computer literature search of English language studies in human subjects on Sentinel Node procedures was performed in MEDLINE and EMBASE databases up to July 2006. For each article two reviewers independently performed a methodological qualitative analysis and data extraction using a standard form.
