AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the rates of concomitant apical procedures in women undergoing hysterectomy for uterovaginal prolapse between 2001 and 2011, along with identifying factors influencing these procedures.
- A significant increase in the proportion of women receiving concomitant apical procedures was observed, rising from 26.9% in 2001 to 48.2% in 2011, with certain demographics like age over 50 and abdominal hysterectomy route being linked to this increase.
- Despite the rise in procedures over the decade, the overall uptake remains low, highlighting a need for improved integration of apical repair during hysterectomies for prolapse.
Article Abstract
Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to compare the proportion of concomitant apical procedures in women undergoing hysterectomy for uterovaginal prolapse in 2001 and 2011. The secondary aim was to identify factors associated with receiving concomitant apical procedures in 2001 and 2011.
Methods: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was queried for women with a primary diagnosis of uterovaginal prolapse who underwent hysterectomy in 2001 and 2011. The study cohort was analyzed for demographics, clinical factors, and concomitant procedures. Factors potentially associated with receiving concomitant apical procedure were evaluated using univariable analysis and multivariate logistic regression.
Results: A total of 14,647 women were identified (5867 in 2001 and 8780 in 2011). In 2001, 26.9% women received a concomitant apical procedure, and this proportion increased to 48.2% in 2011 (odds ratio, 2.53; 95% confidence interval, 2.36-2.72; P < 0.0001). In 2001, the mean (SD) age was 53.8 (14.1) years compared with 56.8 (13.3) years in 2011. Although vaginal hysterectomy was most common in both years, a concomitant apical procedure was more likely to be performed with abdominal hysterectomy (P < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, age older than 50 years (P = 0.0001), abdominal route of hysterectomy (P < 0.0001), and undergoing hysterectomy at an academic teaching hospital (P < 0.0001) were independently associated with concomitant apical procedures in both 2001 and 2011.
Conclusions: Although the proportion of concomitant apical repair was higher in 2011 compared with 2001, it is still low given the existing data demonstrating the importance of a concomitant apical procedure at the time of hysterectomy for uterovaginal prolapse.

Strain echocardiography predictors in patients with concomitant cardiac amyloidosis and aortic stenosis: a cross-sectional study.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord

Cardiology Department, Royal Albert Edward Infirmary, WWL NHS Trust, Wigan, UK.
Background: Concomitant cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and aortic stenosis (AS) may be mistaken for isolated AS, potentially impacting the treatment strategy and patient's prognosis. Therefore, it is crucial to distinguish between these conditions, as failure to promptly diagnose CA may lead to considerable complications. The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic value of strain predictors in patients with concomitant CA and AS compared to isolated AS.

Objectives: The aim was to provide an in-depth characterization of patients hospitalized with severe odontogenic infections (SOI), especially in relation to the origin of the infection. Furthermore, the aim was to generate an overview of which kind of treatment the patients had received before hospitalization and to analyze risk factors for prolonged length of hospital stay.
Material And Methods: The study was a retrospective cross-sectional study, which included patients hospitalized at the University Hospital of Copenhagen, Denmark, with SOI from November 2012 through 2019.

Background Context: Primary spondylodiscitis occurs through the hematogenous spread of a pathogen entering the body via a point of entry. The infection's origin often remains unclear. During dental procedures or through minor traumas, oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream and disseminate throughout the body.

Aims: Echocardiography plays an important role in suspecting the presence of transthyretin cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) in patients with heart failure, based on parameters proposed as 'red flags' for the diagnosis of ATTR-CM. We aimed to validate those measurements in a group of patients with ATTR-CM including ATTRv and ATTRwt.
Methods And Results: We tested a number of echocardiographic red flags in 118 patients with confirmed diagnosis of ATTR-CM.

Importance: Electrosurgical vessel sealing devices for vaginal hysterectomy have demonstrated reduced postoperative pain. This modality, however, has not been evaluated in patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic reconstruction.
Objective: The aim of the study was to describe postoperative pain levels utilizing the LigaSure vessel sealing device for vaginal hysterectomy in patients undergoing major reconstructive surgery.
