Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as mediators of immunosuppression and pro-regenerative processes, particularly through mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) across various disease models. Despite significant progress, there is still a need for a deeper understanding of EV content and functionality to fully harness their biomedical potential. Moreover, strategies to enhance EV production for clinical scalability are still under development.

- The study compared MRI and transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) in detecting myometrial invasion (MI) in low-grade endometrioid endometrial carcinoma.
- Four articles were included in the meta-analysis, which indicated that MRI had a pooled sensitivity of 65% and specificity of 85%, while TVS had a sensitivity of 71% and specificity of 76%.
- The results showed no significant difference between the two imaging techniques, highlighting that both are similarly effective, but more research is needed due to the limited number of studies available.
Introduction: The development of hysteroscopic techniques has led to an advance in submucous myoma treatment, offering a safe and effective minimally invasive alternative. Our objective was to compare the results of hysteroscopic myomectomy when using whether the mini-resectoscope or the MyoSure morcellator, as well as patient satisfaction after the procedure.
Material And Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional, observational study including 80 patients distributed into two groups: Mini-Resectoscope group (MRG) or MyoSure group (MSG), depending on the instrument used for the in-office hysteroscopic myomectomy.
