Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the presence of adenomyosis in women who used the Essure® sterilization device and those undergoing hysterectomy for other benign reasons while experiencing pelvic pain and menstrual issues.
- Conducted as a retrospective cohort study, it compared two groups: women with Essure devices who had symptoms and required hysterectomy, and women with similar symptoms but no device history.
- Results showed a significantly higher prevalence of pelvic pain and adenomyosis in the Essure group, suggesting a potential association between the device and the development of adenomyosis, although causation remains unclear.
Article Synopsis
- Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is influenced by genetics, with recent studies identifying various genetic variants linked to the disease thanks to advancements like next-generation sequencing (NGS).
- Researchers analyzed 61 POAG patients, focusing on 72 genes, and found rare genetic variants in 16% of them, particularly in genes like CYP1B1 and SIX6.
- The study highlights NGS as an essential tool for understanding the genetic basis of POAG, suggesting that further research is needed to explore these genetic variants for better diagnosis and treatment strategies.
Analysis of clinical data associated with Essure® sterilization devices: An expanded case series.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
November 2022
Objectives: To evaluate clinical data in women who underwent Essure® hysteroscopic sterilization and to determine whether this sterilization technique plays a role in developing new-onset symptoms.
Study Design: An observational, retrospective, single-center study. It was conducted in a secondary level hospital.
Survey of glaucoma surgical preferences among glaucoma specialists in Spain.
Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol (Engl Ed)
June 2022
Purpose: To evaluate the spectrum of glaucoma surgery undertaken among members of the Spanish Glaucoma Society (SEG).
Methods: A 10 question web-based anonimous survey was mailed through the Annals of the Spanish Glaucoma Society to all its members on January, February and July 2019 to determine their preferred surgical approach.
Main Outcome Measures: Age, type of Glaucoma, surgery undertaken, type of anti-scarring strategy and prothesis introduced for the last 10 surgeries since the survey was received.
Purpose: To investigate risk factors associated with success and failure in double-plate tube surgery.
Methods: This retrospective case-series observational study included 243 consecutive eyes that underwent anterior-segment double-plate tube surgery from 1990 to 2015. Evaluation of the efficacy of the device was based on the final intraocular pressure (IOP) and the need for anti-glaucoma medication.
