Evaluating the Quality of Endometriosis Operative Reports among High Volume Endometriosis Surgeons.

Objective: To evaluate the quality of operative reports for endometriosis surgeries performed by fellowship-trained, high-volume endometriosis surgeons.

Methods: In this retrospective review, 5 consecutive deidentified surgical reports per surgeon were evaluated by two reviewers. Each dictation was assigned a quality score (between 0 and 28), based on the number of components from the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) classification system that were documented.

Myostatin decreases with aerobic exercise and associates with insulin resistance.

Purpose: There is mounting evidence that skeletal muscle produces and secretes biologically active proteins or "myokines" that facilitate metabolic cross talk between organ systems. The increased expression of myostatin, a secreted anabolic inhibitor of muscle growth and development, has been associated with obesity and insulin resistance. Despite these intriguing findings, there have been few studies linking myostatin and insulin resistance.
