Introduction: Occult endometrial cancer after supracervical hysterectomy is very uncommon. Even if optimal management of those rare cases is still unproven, to guide the need for further therapies, restaging should be recommended in this situation.
Presentation Of Case: We report of a 60-year old woman with occult high risk endometrial cancer after supracervical hysterectomy with morcellation. We describe the feasibility of laparoscopic intraoperative sentinel node identification with cervical stump removing to restage the suspicious early stage high risk endometrial cancer.
Discussion: In high risk endometrial cancer surgical restaging is important, considering that 10-35% of cases can present pelvic nodal metastasis. To reduce the treatment related morbidity maintaining the benefit of surgical staging, with a negative preoperative PET/CT, we performed a laparoscopic SN mapping with cervical stump removing.
Conclusion: This report highlight the fact that SN mapping with cervical injection is a feasible and safe technique also without the uterine corpus after supracervical hysterectomy with morcellation.

Hypercoagulation is central to the pathogenesis of acute and post-acute COVID-19. This prospective observational study explored whether rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), a method that unveils coagulation status, predicts outcomes of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. We investigated 62 patients using ROTEM that was conducted at enrollment, clinical deterioration, discharge and follow-up visits 1 and 3 months post-discharge.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) disproportionately affects certain sub-populations, including people with experience of incarceration (PWEI). Little is known about how perceptions of HCV and treatment have changed despite simplifications in testing and treatment in carceral settings. Nineteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with people living with or having a history of HCV infection released from Quebec provincial prison.

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence, genotype distribution, and associations with cervicovaginal microbiota and cytokine profiles among South African women, where cervical cancer ranks as the second most common cancer. PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science were searched for studies on HPV infection up to 21 September 2024. The pooled prevalence was estimated using a random-effects model, with subgroup analyses by province, sample type, and HIV status.
