Article Synopsis
- The American Thoracic Society has guidelines for maintaining sterility when testing bronchodilator responsiveness, but it is unclear how many practicing allergists follow these guidelines.
- A survey conducted in 2015 received responses from 496 allergists, revealing that while many consider their bronchodilator techniques sterile, a significant percentage do not or are unsure.
- The findings suggest a need for increased awareness and updated guidelines to improve adherence to sterility measures among allergists in North America.
Objective: To determine if the characteristics of women with endometrial polyps changed as minimally invasive modalities for diagnosis and surgical treatment were integrated to our clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: The pathologic reports of all women diagnosed with endometrial polyps in 1990 (220 patients) and 1996 (386 patients) were reviewed. The respective medical records were reviewed for anthropomorphic factors, bleeding pattern, diagnosis, and modality of surgical removal.
