Purpose: Evaluating menstrual blood loss (MBL) in primary healthcare is challenging. Our study aimed to assess MBL using two methods: self-perception and pictograms (Pictorial Blood Assessment Chart-PBAC and Menstrual Pictogram superabsorbent polymer-c version-MP) in women undergoing transvaginal ultrasound (TVS).
Methods: We enrolled 221 premenopausal women with spontaneous menstruation, no hormonal therapy, and no ongoing pregnancy.
Article Synopsis
- - Adhesion formation after gynecological surgery is a persistent issue, particularly with procedures like myomectomy which is known to cause significant adhesions that can affect fertility.
- - Minimally invasive surgical methods, along with adhesion-reducing substances, can lower the risk of adhesions but can't completely prevent them, necessitating careful consideration of the risks versus benefits during infertility surgeries.
- - This review aims to assess the incidence and causes of adhesion formation and to explore the most effective preventive strategies to manage this complication.
Background: In the past, some pregnant women have been recommended to be in activity restriction because of the presumed increased risk of preterm birth due to the increased release of catecholamines, which might stimulate myometrial activity, during exercise and aerobic activity.
Objective: This study aimed to test the hypothesis that in women with singleton pregnancy and arrested preterm labor, activity restriction would reduce the rate of preterm birth at <37 weeks of gestation.
Study Design: This was a parallel-group nonblinded randomized trial conducted at a single center in Italy.
Aim: To assess the efficacy of vitamin E oral spray in pregnancy.
Materials & Methods: This was a retrospective study aimed to evaluate efficacy of vitamin E oral spray (vitamin E acetate in a medium chain tryglicerides vehicle - patented formulation) starting from the first trimester of pregnancy, with a control group.
Results: A total of 100 women were included in the study and were compared with a matched control group.
Background: In the last years, mutations in the exon 3 of CTNNB1 have emerged as a possible prognostic factor for recurrence in early stage endometrioid endometrial carcinoma, especially in cases with no specific molecular profile (NSMP).
Objective: To define the prognostic value of CTNNB1 mutations in early stage endometrioid endometrial carcinoma, through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched from their inception to November 2020 for all studies assessing the prognostic value of CTNNB1 mutation in early stage (FIGO I-II) endometrioid endometrial carcinoma.
Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory disease affecting more than 170 million women worldwide and up to 10% of women of reproductive age. As a consequence of inflammatory reaction and infiltration of anatomic structures, endometriosis can cause "pain symptoms" including dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, dysuria, and chronic pelvic pain. In this review, we summarized the impact of endometriosis on quality of life in all its aspects including sexual life, work, and social relationships.
