Introduction: Supposed benign ovarian tumors (SBOT) are considered one of the most frequent reasons for gynecological consultation and one of the most common indications for gynecological surgery.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Central Hospital of Yaoundé. We carried out a 6-month study, over a five-year period, from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2014. The study population consisted of all patients undergoing surgery for the treatment of supposed benign ovarian tumor during the study period.
Results: The mean age was 29.33 ± 6.83 with a minimum age of 20 years and a maximum age of 48 years. The most represented age range was 21-25 years. The reason for consultation was pelvic pain in 93.90% of the cases. Eleven patients were pregnant women (33.3% of our study population) and 72.70% were in their first trimester. SBOTs in our series were: cyst rupture (36.40%), ovarian torsion (adnexal torsion) (27.30%), voluminous ovarian cyst (21.20%) intracystic haemorrhage (15.20% ). 26 (78.78%) patients were treated conservatively. However, adnexectomy was performed in 5 out of 9 patients with ovarian torsion.
Conclusion: Complex SBOTs can occur in our mids, especially in patients of reproductive age. Late diagnosis, especially in the case of ovarian torsion, obliges to perform radical procedure with deleterious effects upon the patient. Laparoscopy is the most recommended surgical procedure if the technical equipment is available because it reduces the risk of complications.

Pigmented nonmelanoma skin cancers of the genital area: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge - monocentric experience and review of the literature.
Int J Dermatol
November 2024
Dermatology Unit, Department of Mental and Physical Health and Preventive Medicine, University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Naples, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC), specifically basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), usually occur on sun-exposed skin but can also appear in covered areas like the genital region, where they may exhibit variable pigmentation.
- Accurate diagnosis is crucial due to the risk of mucosal melanoma, and this review discusses the diagnosis and management of pigmented NMSC (pNMSC) in the genital area, highlighting the importance of dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy in assessment.
- Pigmented variants of BCC and SCC are rare, with specific dermoscopic features noted for diagnosis, and it is essential to differentiate pNMSC from benign lesions and melanoma to ensure appropriate treatment.
Artificial Intelligence-Driven Radiomics in Head and Neck Cancer: Current Status and Future Prospects.
Int J Med Inform

Background: Radiomics is a rapidly growing field used to leverage medical radiological images by extracting quantitative features. These are supposed to characterize a patient's phenotype, and when combined with artificial intelligence techniques, to improve the accuracy of diagnostic models and clinical outcome prediction.
Objectives: This review aims at examining the application areas of artificial intelligence-based radiomics (AI-based radiomics) for the management of head and neck cancer (HNC).
Nanofluids of Amphiphilic Kaolinite-Based Janus Nanosheets for Enhanced Oil Recovery: The Importance of Stable Emulsion.
Polymers (Basel)
May 2023
Fujian Key Laboratory of Polymer Materials, College of Chemistry and Materials Science, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou 350007, China.
To meet the increasing global demand for energy, better recovery of crude oil from reservoirs must be achieved using methods that are economical and environmentally benign. Here, we have developed a nanofluid of amphiphilic clay-based Janus nanosheets via a facile and scalable method that provides potential to enhance oil recovery. With the aid of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) intercalation and ultrasonication, kaolinite was exfoliated into nanosheets (KaolNS) before being grafted with 3-methacryloxypropyl-triemethoxysilane (KH570) on the Alumina Octahedral Sheet at 40 and 70 °C to form amphiphilic Janus nanosheets (i.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Pescara Public Hospital, Pescara, Italy.
Background: Circumferential skin creases is a rare and heterogeneous disorder characterized by multiple and redundant skin folds, which can present as an isolated feature or in association with other phenotypic anomalies. Here, we report the case of a newborn who immediately captured our attention because of his phenotype.
Case: A male Caucasian infant was born at 39 weeks and 4 days of gestational age with an instrumental delivery, after a pregnancy characterized by threat of preterm birth at 32 weeks.
Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumor with histological features of IgG4-related disease: two case reports and review of the literature.
Gland Surg
March 2023
Pathology Unit, Veneto Institute of Oncology IOV-IRCCS, Padua, Italy.
Background: Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumor (PFP) is a rare intrascrotal benign fibrous mass of uncertain aetiology, usually arising between testicular tunica layers and is supposed to be related to inflammatory reactive conditions. Because of morphological similarities to IgG4-related sclerosing fibro-inflammatory lesions, some authors recently postulated that PFP might belong to the IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) family. Considering the rarity of this lesion, only few cases have been reported in literature about the correlation between IgG4-RD and PFP.
