vNOTES chromopertubation: a new method for assessing tubal patency and peritubal anatomy.
Minim Invasive Ther Allied Technol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study evaluated 12 women aged 29-38 with suspected tubal factor infertility who underwent vaginal natural orifice endoluminal surgery (vNOTES) to assess tubal patency and adnexal anatomy.
- The procedure had an average operative time of 39 minutes, with no need for conversions to more invasive surgeries, and all patients were discharged within 12 hours without complications.
- The study suggests that vNOTES could be a beneficial option, especially for patients with higher BMI or previous surgeries, due to its lower surgical risks and minimally invasive nature.
Endometrial cancer (EC) is increasing incidence among women, and it constitutes a health problem for women globally. An important aspect of EC management involves the use of protein biomarkers for early detection and monitoring. Protein biomarkers allow the identification of high-risk patients, the detection of the disease in its early stages, and the assessment of treatment responses.

- * Out of 90 RTR participants, the median antibody level was 16.7 AU/mL at 42 days post-first dose, with 60% showing positive serology; mycophenolic acid (MFA) and ACE inhibitors were found to decrease seropositivity.
- * Patients who received the Pfizer/BioNTech booster had better antibody levels and lower COVID-19 infections compared to those with the CoronaVac/Sinovac booster, indicating that heterologous vaccination is more effective for RTRs.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the rising incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Türkiye due to migration and environmental changes, noting that it’s appearing in places where it was previously unknown, leading to misdiagnosis by physicians unfamiliar with the disease.
- - Researchers performed a retrospective analysis of 12 CL cases diagnosed from 2013 to 2022, looking at clinical presentation, pre-diagnosis, histopathological findings, and DNA analysis to confirm species involved.
- - Findings show that only 58.3% of cases considered CL in their pre-diagnosis; others were misdiagnosed, often as skin tumors, with patients presenting non-healing skin lesions that required further evaluation.
There is a lack of studies examining balance problems and Achilles tendon thickness in prediabetes despite their common occurrence in diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to evaluate Achilles tendon size and static and dynamic balance, as well as the role of the Achilles tendon in balance, in prediabetic patients. A total of 96 participants were divided into three groups: (1) the control group, consisting of participants without diabetes mellitus; (2) the prediabetes group; and (3) the diabetes mellitus group.
