Ultrasound has been recognized as an important tool for pelvic floor evaluation. A main limitation of the two-dimensional transvaginal examination is in delineation of the posterior vaginal compartment and its relation to the cervix. We describe the use of three-dimensional saline infusion vaginography as a complementary technique for the assessment of the vaginal wall and pelvic floor descent. We present several cases that demonstrate the advantages of this technique in overcoming the limitations inherent in current approaches. The improved imaging obtained by this technique enabled us to measure pelvic floor parameters and assist in evaluating pelvic floor dysfunction.

Background: Cellular senescence is considered a new marker of cancer. It has been suggested that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) can be used to predict the prognosis of cancers. However, it remains to be seen whether the lncRNAs associated with cellular senescence can be used to predict the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC).

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a women's health problem in both developed and developing countries. Various studies have found that the occurrence of POP is related to the supporting structures of the pelvic floor, including type III collagen levels. Most studies reported no correlation between collagen 3 alpha 1 (COL3A1) rs1800255 gene polymorphism and the occurrence of POP.
