Objective: To estimate the variables that may affect the duration of hospitalization after vaginal hysterectomy.
Material And Methods: An 11-year retrospective analysis was performed on data derived from 197 patients who underwent vaginal hysterectomy due to non-malignant pathology at a tertiary care center between January 2000 to November 2011.
Results: The average age of the patients in our series was 60.9±11.1 with a duration of hospitalization of 11.6±6.1 days after vaginal hysterectomy. The grouping variables consisted of age, number of pregnancies, abortions, parities and the presence of intra or postoperative complications. Advanced age (>60), increased number of pregnancies (>5) and parities (>5) and occurrence of intra or postoperative complications were found to be correlated with the duration of hospitalization after vaginal hysterectomy. Categorical variables were analyzed by Pearson's chi square or the Fisher exact test. The Mann Whitney U test was used to compare groups, while the correlation of variables was assessed with the Spearman Correlation Analysis.
Conclusion: Vaginal hysterectomy is a safe and effective procedure. Advanced age, increased number of pregnancies and parities and occurrence of intra or postoperative complications may prolong the duration of hospitalization after surgery. Increased experience, careful surgical technique and adherence to aseptic principles may improve the cost-effectivity and decrease the duration of hospitalization.

Flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation versus a GnRH antagonist protocol in predicted suboptimal responders undergoing freeze-all cycles: a randomized non-inferiority trial.
Hum Reprod
December 2024
Assisted Reproduction Center, Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital, Xi'an, China.
Study Question: Are live birth rates (LBRs) per woman following flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (fPPOS) treatment non-inferior to LBRs per woman following the conventional GnRH-antagonist protocol in expected suboptimal responders undergoing freeze-all cycles in assisted reproduction treatment?
Summary Answer: In women expected to have a suboptimal response, the 12-month likelihood of live birth with the fPPOS treatment did not achieve the non-inferiority criteria when compared to the standard GnRH antagonist protocol for IVF/ICSI treatment with a freeze-all strategy.
What Is Known Already: The standard PPOS protocol is effective for ovarian stimulation, where medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is conventionally administered in the early follicular phase for ovulatory suppression. Recent retrospective cohort studies on donor cycles have shown the potential to prevent premature ovulation and maintain oocyte yields by delaying the administration of MPA until the midcycle (referred to as fPPOS), similar to GnRH antagonist injections.
Shared Decision-Making in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: Understanding Surgeon and Patient Perspectives Regarding When It Is Time for Surgery.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
December 2024
Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Hanover, New Hampshire.
Background: Although total hip and total knee arthroplasty are highly successful operations, the decision of whether and when to undergo surgery is highly subjective and discretionary, and specific guidelines regarding readiness for surgery remain elusive. The nature of these decisions underscores the importance of shared decision-making, which is founded on the concept that patients substantially contribute to determining their own readiness for surgery. The OPTION survey was developed as a conversation aid to facilitate shared decision-making in the context of total joint arthroplasty.

Background: Unhealthy sleep and exposures to oxidative factors are both associated with poor cognitive performance (PCP), but limited evidence has been found regarding the relationship between sleep patterns and oxidative factor exposures independently or jointly with the risk of PCP.
Methods: We analyzed data from 2249 adults aged ≥60 years in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (2011-2014). Self-reported questionnaires were used to collect data on sleep duration and sleep disorder, categorizing sleep duration into three groups based on responses: short (6 hours or less per night), normal (7-8 hours per night), or long (9 hours or more per night).

Introduction: During hemodialysis (HD), the presence of clots in the dialyzer can diminish the effective surface area of the device. In severe cases, clot formation in the circuit can halt treatment and lead to blood loss in the system. Thus, ensuring proper anticoagulation during HD is crucial to prevent clotting in the circuit while safeguarding the patient from bleeding risks.
