Study Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of cold loop hysteroscopic myomectomy in a large series of cases.
Design: Retrospective study (Canadian Task Force Classification III).
Setting: Arbor Vitae Center for Endoscopic Gynecology, Rome, Italy.
Patients: A total of 1215 patients with 1 or more G1-G2 submucous myomas.
Intervention: Cold loop hysteroscopic myomectomy.
Measurement And Main Results: A total of 1690 myomas were removed. A minimum of 1 to a maximum of 5 fibroids for each surgical procedure were totally removed. Out of 1215 patients, 1017 (83.7%) were treated with a single surgical procedure. Twelve intraoperative complications occurred (0.84%). No cases of uterine perforation with the thermal loop or clinical intravasation syndrome were reported.
Conclusion: Cold loop hysteroscopic myomectomy seems to represent a safe and effective procedure for the removal of submucous myomas with intramural development, while at the same time respecting the anatomic and functional integrity of the myometrium. The use of a cold loop in resectoscopic myomectomy is associated with a low rate of minor intraoperative complications and an absence of major complications. This could be of primary relevance with a view to fertility and future pregnancies.

Objective: Several European and American guidelines recommend to perform an additional hysterectomy in patients with cervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), who initially received conservative treatment and who completed childbearing during follow-up. This study aimed to evaluate cost-effectiveness of performing an additional hysterectomy in comparison to expectative management.
Methods: This post-hoc analysis was based on a retrospective cohort of patients diagnosed with AIS, who were conservatively treated by a radical (i.
Arctic soil carbon insulation averts large spring cooling from surface-atmosphere feedbacks.

The insulative properties of soil organic carbon (SOC) and surface organic layers (moss, lichens, litter) regulate surface-atmosphere energy exchanges in the Arctic through a coupling with soil temperatures. However, a physical description of this process is lacking in many climate models, potentially biasing their high-latitude climate predictions. Using a coupled surface-atmosphere model, we identified a strong feedback loop between soil insulation, surface air temperature, and snowfall.

The effects of mechanical vibrations on control system stability could be significant in control systems designed on the assumption of rigid-body dynamics, such as launch vehicles. Vibrational loads can also cause damage to launch vehicles due to fatigue or excitation of structural resonances. This paper investigates a method to control structural vibrations in real time using a finite number of strain measurements from a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor array.
