Bladder Outlet Obstruction Due to Recurrent Complete Labial Fusion in Postmenopausal Woman-Case Report.

Background: Labial fusion is a rare condition typically observed in prepubescent girls, but it can also occur in postmenopausal women due to estrogen deficiency.

Methods: Our case report presents a unique instance of recurrent complete labial fusion causing bladder outlet obstruction in a postmenopausal woman.

Results: The 84-year-old patient presented with dysuria and intermittent urine leakage.

Severe Liver Damage in an Obese Patient: Onset of Celiac Disease or Overlap Syndrome?

Celiac disease (CeD) is an enteropathy caused by the complex interaction between genetic, environmental, and individual immunological factors. Besides the hallmark of intestinal mucosal damage, CeD is a systemic disorder extending beyond the gastrointestinal tract and impacting various other organs, causing extraintestinal and atypical symptoms. The association between CeD and liver damage has been classified into three main categories: mild and asymptomatic liver injury, autoimmune liver injury, and liver failure.

Unexpected Dramatic Evolution of Placenta Increta: Case Report and Literature Review.

Placental morbid adherence is a known risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage. The incidence of abnormal placental attachment has been increasing over the past few decades, mainly due to rising rates of cesarean deliveries, advanced maternal age, and the use of assisted reproductive technologies. Cesarean section is a significant risk factor for placenta increta, as it disrupts the normal architecture of the uterine wall, making it more difficult for the placenta to detach after delivery.

Catching Cancer Early: The Importance of Dermato-Oncology Screening.

The European Society for Medical Oncology experts have identified the main components of the long-term management of oncological patients. These include early diagnosis through population screening and periodic control of already diagnosed patients to identify relapses, recurrences, and other associated neoplasms. There are no generally accepted international guidelines for the long-term monitoring of patients with skin neoplasms (nonmelanoma skin cancer, malignant melanoma, precancerous-high-risk skin lesions).

Update on the Use of Nanocarriers and Drug Delivery Systems and Future Directions in Cervical Cancer.

Cervical cancer represents a major health problem among females due to its increased mortality rate. The conventional therapies are very aggressive and unsatisfactory when it comes to survival rate, especially in terminal stages, which requires the development of new treatment alternatives. With the use of nanotechnology, various chemotherapeutic drugs can be transported via nanocarriers directly to cervical cancerous cells, thus skipping the hepatic first-pass effect and decreasing the rate of chemotherapy side effects.

Uncommon Metastasis of Ovarian Dysgerminoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Ovarian malignant germ cell tumors (OMGCT) represent less than 10% of all ovarian tumors. Dysgerminoma is the most common malignant primitive germ cell tumor in young women, known for its curability and low propensity to invade and metastasize when diagnosed early. Herein, we report an unusual type of ovarian dysgerminoma (OD) metastasis with a brief review of the literature, lacking similar reported cases.

Cervical incompetence associated with congenital uterine malformations.

Unlabelled: Cervical incompetence is basically a cervix that is too weak to stay closed during a pregnancy. It is generally categorized as premature opening of the cervix without labor or contractions.

Aim: To estimate the incidence of incompetence of the uterine cervix at patients with congenital uterine malformations.
