The rupture of a uterine leiomyoma is a rare complication. We report a case of ruptured leiomyoma that formed a hematoma that was initially suggestive of an ovarian origin. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed intact ovaries and a cystic lesion adjacent to leiomyomas.

Using data from a nationally representative cross-sectional online survey conducted in September 2022, responses from 4,950 women aged 25-59 were analyzed. This study applied binomial logistic regression models specifically to participants who reported having ever felt the need to seek healthcare assistance due to health issues related to menstruation and menopause.

Case Report: A 53-year-old woman with a history of facial pain underwent cranial MR imaging and MR angiography. MR angiography showed a left lateral-type PTA arising from the precavernous portion of the left internal carotid artery (ICA).
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how health literacy (HL) influences women's health and work productivity in Japan, particularly focusing on absenteeism and presenteeism among female workers.
- - A nationwide survey was conducted in 2018 with 2,000 women, analyzing their HL levels, health behaviors related to menstrual issues, and productivity outcomes using statistical methods like ANCOVA and logistic regression.
- - Results indicate that women with high HL experienced significantly less presenteeism and engaged in better health behaviors for menstrual problems compared to those with low HL, although there were no notable differences in absenteeism.
Purpose: Persistent hypoglossal artery (PHA) is the second most common anastomosis between the carotid and vertebrobasilar systems and it demonstrates some variations.
Methods: Using magnetic resonance angiography, we diagnosed a case of low origin of the PHA associated with the high carotid bifurcation, and the resulting origin close to the carotid bifurcation.
Results: The PHA is typically clinically silent as in our case, but it could be a potential cause of glossopharyngeal neuralgia, hypoglossal palsy, and intracranial aneurysms or technical complications in interventional procedure such as carotid stenting.
