Article Synopsis
- - HPV is a significant global health issue, primarily affecting women by increasing the risk of cervical cancer, with current treatments limited mainly to surgery and topical solutions.
- - A study involving 163 women with HPV infections tested a combination of natural therapies—EGCG, folic acid, vitamin B12, and hyaluronic acid—over three months to assess their effectiveness.
- - Results showed that the treatment group had a notable decrease in HPV positivity and improvement in cervical lesions compared to the control group after three and six months.
Objective: On May 13, 2020, the Italian government Pharmaceutical Agency (AIFA) stopped ulipristal acetate (UPA) treatments for uterine fibroids (UFs), so patients shifted to other natural treatments. The authors tested the patients' compliance with UF natural treatments.
Methods: Thirty patients of reproductive age (30-45 years) affected by UFs stopped UPA intake and started epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) plus vitamin D3 treatment.
Hemorrhagic corpus luteum (HCL) is an ovarian cyst formed after ovulation and caused by spontaneous bleeding into a corpus luteum (CL) cyst. When HCL rupture happens, a hemoperitoneum results. Clinical symptoms are mainly due to peritoneal irritation by the blood effusion.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To elucidate the role of Doppler ultrasound in predicting perinatal outcome in appropriate for gestational age (AGA) fetuses at term.
Material And Methods: Prospective study carried out in a dedicated research ultrasound clinic. The inclusion criterion was AGA fetuses, defined as those with an estimated fetal weight between the 10 and 90 percentile, at 36 + 0-37 + 6 weeks of gestation.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship and diagnostic effectiveness of various Doppler ultrasound measurements (umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery, and uterine arteries pulsatility index, along with cerebroplacental ratio) in predicting adverse outcomes in singleton pregnancies at term.
- Researchers conducted a prospective analysis involving 600 singleton pregnancies between 36 and 37 weeks gestation, focusing on a composite adverse perinatal outcome while ensuring participating clinicians were unaware of Doppler results.
- Findings indicated that lower middle cerebral artery pulsatility index and cerebroplacental ratio, alongside higher uterine arteries pulsatility index, were linked to negative outcomes; however, overall diagnostic accuracy for predicting these outcomes remained low.
