Concomitant ectopic Enterobius vermicularis infection in uterine cervical cancer.

Background: Enterobius vermicularis (E. vermicularis), also referred to as pinworm, is a widespread human intestinal parasite which predominantly occurs in young children, making their caretakers a population at risk for the transmission of this helminth. It can occasionally affect extraintestinal organs and tissues, including the female genital tract.

Outcome of vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer performed on days 5-7 after urine LH detection.

Research Question: What is the clinical importance of vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer timing if performed on days 5, 6 and 7 after detecting the LH surge using urine tests?

Design: Between 2013 and 2019, 2080 vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfers in a true natural cycle were performed and later analysed at the Department of Reproductive Medicine, University Medical Centre Maribor, Slovenia. Urine LH tests were performed twice daily to monitor the onset of the LH surge. Vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer (frozen embryo transfer [FET]) was performed on day 5 (group 1), 6 (group 2) or 7 (group 3) after the LH surge in 18%, 77% and 4% of cycles, respectively.

Cervix-Online computer program: 27 years of hospital-based clinical registry for cervical cancer at the University Medical Centre Maribor.

Background: Clinical registries are designed to collect quality data about the care for cancer patients in order to improve it. They gather data that are generated during diagnosis and cancer treatment and also post-treatment follow-up. Analysis of collected data allows an improvement in the quality of patient care and a comparison with other health care providers.

A Case of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome in Recurrent Late-Stage Ovarian Cancer Patient after Management of Chronic Pain with Elastomeric Pump.

(1) Background. Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe mucocutaneous reactions, characterized by extensive necrosis and detachment of the epidermis. (2) Case presentation.

Diagnosis and management of rudimentary horn pregnancy rupture, misinterpreted as bicornuate uterus in the 14th week of pregnancy.

We present a 26-year-old primigravida with rudimentary horn pregnancy rupture at 14 weeks of pregnancy. Uterine anomaly was first diagnosed at the time of nuchal translucency scan and was presumed to be a bicornuate uterus with normal intrauterine pregnancy in the right horn. One day later, she was admitted to our department with abdominal pain, shortly leading to massive hemoperitoneum and hypovolemic shock.

Predictive Factors for Live Birth in Autologous in Vitro Fertilization Cycles in Women Aged 40 Years and Older.

Background: The aim of the study was to determine predictive factors for live birth after in vitro fertilization with autologous oocytes in women ≥40 years of age.

Methods: Authors conducted a retrospective analysis of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles performed at the Department of Reproductive Medicine and Gynecologic Endocrinology, University Medical Centre Maribor, Slovenia between January 2006 and December 2015 in women aged 40 or more. The characteristics of patients and cycles were compared regarding live birth as the final outcome.

Retained surgical needle and gauze after cesarean section and adnexectomy: a case report and literature review.

Although the incidence of retained surgical items (RSIs) is low, it is nevertheless an important preventable cause of patient injury that can ultimately lead to the patient's death and to subsequent high medical and legal costs. Unintentional RSI is the cause of 70% of re-interventions, with a morbidity of 80% and mortality of 35%. The most common RSIs are sponges or gauze (gossypiboma or textiloma), while retained surgical instruments and needles are rare.

Comparable effectiveness using flexible single-dose GnRH antagonist (cetrorelix) and single-dose long GnRH agonist (goserelin) protocol for IVF cycles--a prospective, randomized study.

This prospective randomized study compared the effectiveness of a flexible single-dose gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist (cetrorelix) and a single-dose long GnRH agonist (goserelin) protocol for ovarian stimulation in IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. All patients from the waiting list were successively included in the study, pre-programmed with an oral contraceptive, and randomized into goserelin and cetrorelix groups. Depending on the date on which their menstrual period started, patients took oral contraceptives for one or two cycles.

Ultrasound guided aspiration in pathological adnexal processes.

Objective: To establish the efficiency of ultrasonographically guided transvaginal adnexal cyst aspiration as a treatment and diagnostic method.

Study Design: In 72 patients with an adnexal cystic mass, transvaginal ultrasound guided cyst aspiration was performed. Before the procedure, presence of primary malignant disease was excluded by gynecologic and ultrasound examination.

Results of intracytoplasmic sperm injection of single oocyte in 362 unstimulated cycles.

Purpose: The purpose was to test the adequacy of unstimulated cycles for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and to evaluate implantation and pregnancy rates in three different age groups.

Methods: ICSI was performed in 362 unstimulated cycles in women up to 45 years old. All cycles were monitored by serum estradiol, urinary LH, and ultrasound.

Clinical outcome of day 2 versus day 5 transfer in cycles with one or two developed embryos.

Objective: To determine whether extended culture of embryos to blastocysts has any benefit in cycles with only one or two created embryos.

Design: Retrospective analysis of cycles comparing outcomes of day 2 and day 5 transfers. Our day 2 group was from the year 1999 and our day 5 group, from the year 2000.
