Background: Axillary osmidrosis results in social and psychological problems. Liposuction-assisted techniques used as treatments have been reported to have high recurrence rates. This study aims at introducing the aggressive suction-curettage technique in comparison to the open excision procedure.
Methods: From February 2009 to February 2014, 130 patients were randomly divided into two groups (experimental and control groups). The experimental group was treated with aggressive suction-curettage, while the control group was treated with an open excision. Postoperative assessment (skin necrosis, hematoma, scars and malodour recurrence) and patient satisfaction were surveyed and analyzed.
Results: A lower necrosis rate was observed in patients who received aggressive suction-curettage (1.88 %, p < 0.01), higher patient satisfaction (33.85 %, p < 0.01), higher recurrence rate (11.54 %, p < 0.05), and less ugly scars (0.77 %, p < 0.01), compared to those who had the open excision procedure.
Conclusions: The aggressive suction-curettage technique appears to be a reliable treatment option for axillary osmidrosis.

Objective: The purpose of our study was to assess trophoblastic and uterine sufficiency in miscarriage pathogenesis with immunohistochemical methods and to determine if they could be used as a screening tool for the risk of miscarriage in the future.
Material And Method: Placental tissue specimens that were comprised of 20 spontaneous abortions, 23 voluntarily terminated (induced) abortions, and 12 tubal pregnancies were included in this study. Trophoblastic cells and implantation area were evaluated for staining with EGFR-1, MMP-3, and MMP-9 by immunohistochemistry.

Background: Axillary osmidrosis causes unpleasant odors and profuse sweating, resulting in social and psychological problems. Many treatment modalities have been attempted and liposuction is preferred because of the minimal scar, although the problem of a high recurrence rate still exists. The aim of this study was to introduce and evaluate the efficacy of a new technique to treat axillary osmidrosis using a liposuction machine.

Although rare, a carbon dioxide (CO2) embolism is a potential complication of laparoscopic surgery. An embolism may occur during insufflation of the abdomen after incorrect placement of a Veress needle into a vascular organ or an intra-abdominal vessel. If the CO2 embolism is not recognized, it can be rapidly fatal for the patient unless the patient receives treatment immediately.
