Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of mifepristone-misoprostol versus misoprostol alone in treating early pregnancy loss.
- A total of 999 patients were analyzed, showing a lower treatment failure rate of 17.8% in the mifepristone-misoprostol group compared to 25.1% in the misoprostol-only group.
- The findings indicated that using mifepristone in combination reduced the odds of treatment failure by 34%, while factors such as prior vaginal delivery and gestational age also influenced treatment outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares outcomes between two types of finger injuries—bony and tendinous mallet fingers—treated with splints in children, focusing on extensor lag at the distal interphalangeal joint.
- Data was collected retrospectively from 31 pediatric patients, indicating that bony mallet injuries more commonly affect the middle finger and tendinous mallets affect the ring finger, with both injuries being more prevalent in males.
- Despite differences in demographic details, both types of mallet finger injuries showed excellent recovery outcomes, with no significant difference in extension lag or overall assessment scores.
Background: Misoprostol is a well-studied medical treatment for early pregnancy loss (EPL), with success rates ranging between 70 and 90%. However, treatment failure is associated with major patient discomfort, including the need for surgical intervention to evacuate the uterus. It was previously reported that medical treatment was especially successful among women who conceived after in vitro fertilization (IVF).

This study aimed to evaluate the differences in outcomes between acute bony and tendinous mallet fingers treated conservatively with splints.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively collected data on patients with acute tendinous or bony mallets who received conservative treatment in our occupational therapy clinic.
: To study whether the interval between gestational age calculated using the last menstrual period (GA-LMP) and gestational age calculated via ultrasound (GA-US) is correlated with the success rate of medical treatment in cases of miscarriages. : This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in a gynecology unit in a tertiary medical center. Women who underwent medical treatment with Misoprostol for miscarriage at the Edith Wolfson Medical Center between 07/2015 and 12/2020 were included.
