Objectives: To evaluate the interest of rectal and vaginal filling in vaginal and recto-sigmoid endometriosis with MR imaging. To compare the results between a senior and a junior radiologist review.
Methods: Sixty-seven patients with clinically suspected deep infiltrating endometriosis were included in our MRI protocol consisting of repeated T2-weigthed sequences (axial and sagittal) before and after rectal and vaginal marking with ultrasonography gel. Vaginal and recto-sigmoid endometriosis lesions were analyzed before and after opacification. The inter-reader agreement between senior and junior scores was studied.
Results: Concerning vaginal and muscularis and beyond colonic involvement, no significant difference (P=0.32) was observed and the inter-reader agreement was excellent (K=0.96 and 0.97 respectively). Concerning serosa colonic lesions, a significant difference was observed (P=0.01) and the inter-reader agreement was poor (K=0).
Conclusions: Rectal and vaginal filling in endometriosis staging with MRI is not necessary no matter the reader experiment.

Background: On demand, topical PrEP is desired by those preferring episodic, nonsystemic PrEP. PC-1005 gel (MIV-150, zinc, and carrageenan) exhibits in vitro antiviral HIV-1, human papillomavirus (HPV), and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) activity, attractive for a multipurpose prevention technology candidate. We evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral effect of rectally applied PC-1005.

Importance: The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stages do not correlate with symptoms or characterize important prolapse subtypes.
Objectives: We hypothesize that clinically meaningful prolapse "phenotypes" utilizing POP-Q measurements can be defined. The primary aim was to define the phenotypes and their frequency.
