Objective: To determine the prevalence and the risk factors for anal high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and anal cancer (HSIL+) in women with HIV (WWH), and to compare them to women without HIV with other risk factors.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Methods: WWH and women without HIV with other risk factors were included.
Objectives: The microcystic, elongated and fragmented pattern of invasion can be associated with an underestimation of the depth of myometrial invasion by imaging techniques. We aimed to evaluate the influence of microcystic, elongated and fragmented pattern of invasion in the diagnostic performance of transvaginal ultrasound scan and magnetic resonance imaging for the prediction of the depth of myometrial invasion in low-grade endometrioid endometrial carcinomas.
Methods: Prospective and consecutive study including all low-grade (G1-G2) endometrioid endometrial carcinomas diagnosed between October 2013 and July 2018 in a tertiary hospital.

Purpose: Uterine angioleiomyoma is a rare type of leiomyoma variant and there are few cases reported in the literature. The definitive diagnosis is usually obtained only after the histopathologic examination because there are no specific imaging criteria for this disease. The objective of this article is to review published cases about this clinical condition.

Methods: Step-by-step description of the surgical technique has been provided, based on video images.
Objective: To demonstrate our experience with hysteroscopic assistance in the laparoscopic repair of an isthmocele.
Design: Surgical video article (Canadian Task Force classification III).
Setting: University hospital.
Background: Uterine aspirates are used in the diagnostic process of endometrial disorders, yet further applications could emerge if its complex milieu was simplified. Exosome-like vesicles isolated from uterine aspirates could become an attractive source of biomarkers, but there is a need to standardize isolation protocols. The objective of the study was to determine whether exosome-like vesicles exist in the fluid fraction of uterine aspirates and to compare protocols for their isolation, characterization, and analysis.

Materials And Methods: Eighty pregnant women with abnormal cytologic result at the first antenatal visit were evaluated. Postpartum cytologic and histologic findings were compared with the antepartum findings.
