This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (diagnostic). The objectives are as follows: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of endometrial sampling with histology in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer in women with postmenopausal bleeding and thickened endometrium on ultrasound. Diagnosis will be verified by the reference standards, hysteroscopy with histology, obtained by targeted (such as grasp biopsy of the endometrium or resection of focal pathology) or global sampling (with dilation and curettage), and histology of hysterectomy specimens.

- - This study aimed to investigate the anatomy of coronary arteries in Indian cadavers, focusing on their origin, course, and branching, particularly in relation to Brocq and Mouchet's triangle, along with the prevalence of specific structures like Kugel's artery and myocardial bridges.
- - Researchers analyzed 30 hearts, discovering that 83% were right dominant, with varying characteristics of Kugel's artery (30%), third coronary artery (14%), and myocardial bridges (7%), as well as significant variations in the left coronary artery (LCA) branching patterns.
- - The findings provided detailed insight into coronary artery morphology, underscoring the need for larger sample sizes for more comprehensive interpretation of the data.
Article Synopsis
- Case reports are crucial for medical learners, helping them engage in scholarship and needing a structured framework for effective writing.
- An analysis of 1,005 case reports from 2010 to 2019 revealed that 67% were valid case reports, mostly classified as diffusion cases, indicating they educate on known conditions rather than introduce new ones.
- Authors aiming to publish case reports should be aware that how they frame their work significantly impacts its publishability based on the nature of their contribution to medical literature.
Background: The goal was to determine the thickness and width of the knee joint meniscus at their different regions. The objective was to compare the dimensions at these regions and over the right- and left-sided specimens.
Methods: The present study included 50 adult cadaveric knee joints, and 100 menisci (50 medial menisci and 50 lateral menisci) were studied.
Introduction: Urogenital fistula is a physically, socially and psychologically devastating condition for the patient. In developed countries, these fistulae are typically related to gynecological surgery, pelvic pathology like malignancy or post radiation therapy. In contrast, classical teaching is that urogenital fistulae in the developing countries like India are usually associated with prolonged labor and obstetric complications.
