Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the relationship among polyp site, number, diameter, and symptomatology in endometrial polyps in reproductive and postmenopausal women.

Study Design: One hundred fifty-five subjects with endometrial polyps were evaluated retrospectively. Sociodemographic characteristics, endometrial thickness, polyp number, diameter, and site were reviewed, and their relations with abnormal uterine bleeding were tested.

Results: A total of 36.1% of the patients in the postmenopausal group and 44.4% of the patients in the reproductive-aged group were asymptomatic. In addition, 37.3% of polyps in the reproductive-aged and 29.2% in the postmenopausal group were multiple. Polyp number, diameter, and site were not different among the 2 groups (P = .282, P = .469, and P = .485, respectively). When patients were evaluated as a whole, symptomatology was not related with polyp number, diameter, and site (P = .677, P = .334, and P = .699, respectively).

Conclusion: Many endometrial polyps are asymptomatic and multiple in nature. Polyp site, number, and diameter do not correlate with symptomatology.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess whether kidney stone burden and risk factors at the time of kidney donor evaluation were associated with a symptomatic stone event post-donor evaluation.

Methods: We identified adults evaluated at Mayo Clinic (two sites) (2000-2011) for living kidney donation and had either a personal history or radiological evidence of kidney stone disease. We analyzed demographics, stone risk factors, stone number/size, and the committee's donation decision and reasons.

Achieving satisfactory nipple esthetics following skin-sparing or nipple-sparing mastectomy is an important element of ensuring positive patient outcomes. Several techniques used to reconstruct the nipple-areolar complex have been described in previous literature and have had success in securing good cosmetic outcomes. For patients with macrothelia, surgeons may employ a number of options in reducing nipple size.

Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a leading cause of mortality, with an increasing number of patients affected by coronary artery stenosis each year. Coronary angiography (CAG) is commonly employed as the definitive diagnostic tool for identifying coronary artery stenosis. Physician Visual Assessment (PVA) is often used as the primary method to determine the need for further intervention, but its subjective nature poses challenges.
