The aim of this study is to present our clinical experience about fertility-sparing procedures in early stage cervical cancer and its obstetrical and oncological outcomes. Between the years 2006 and 2016, a total of 22 early stage cervical cancer patients who underwent a fertility-sparing radical abdominal trachelectomy in our clinic were retrospectively analysed. The median age was 33 (range: 28-39) years. The median follow-up was 47 (range: 22-125) months. Five patients (22.7%) had Stage IA1, three patients had (13.6%) Stage IA2, and 14 patients (63.6%) had Stage IB1 disease. Only one patient had a recurrence. A pregnancy was obtained in five patients (22.7%) and one of them (20%) had a live birth. A pregnancy was obtained spontaneously in two patients (40%), whereas assisted reproductive techniques were used in three of the patients (60%). A miscarriage occurred in two patients (40%), and one of them was within the first trimester and the other was within the second trimester. Impact statement What is already known on the subject? Currently, the first-line treatment of early stage cervical cancer is surgery. However, a fertility-sparing trachelectomy is the most widely adopted approach in the reproductive aged patients who have a desire to be pregnant later. What does this study add? In the literature, there is a growing number of studies on this subject. However, it would take time to obtain adequate knowledge. We believe that our study would contribute to the existing data. What are the implication of these findings for clinical practice? This study is important as it indicates that a multidisciplinary approach is required to preserve fertility among gynaecologic oncologists and the outcomes would be reflected into the clinical practice. In addition, we believe that our study would pave the way for further studies regarding this subject among oncologists.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 10% of the global population, with increasing prevalence driven by diabetes, hypertension, and aging populations. CKD often progresses asymptomatically, frequently undetected until advanced stages, and may require costly treatments, such as dialysis or transplantation. CKD imposes a substantial financial burden on health care systems, with management costs rising sharply as the disease progresses, underscoring the need for early, cost-effective interventions.

Background: The association between skeletal muscle and adipose tissue (body composition) and early response using positron emission tomography (PET) in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) remains unstudied.
Methods: Patients enrolled on Children's Oncology Group studies AHOD0031 (intermediate-risk HL) and AHOD0831 (high-risk HL) with digital abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans at diagnosis and PET scans after 2 cycles (PET2) were included. Two consecutive slices at the third lumbar vertebra were identified and skeletal muscle index (SMI, in cm2/m2) and total adipose tissue index (TATI, in cm2/m2) were calculated using sliceOmatic (Magog, Canada) and height at diagnosis.
Synchronization stability of epileptic brain network with higher-order interactions.

Generally, epilepsy is considered as abnormally enhanced neuronal excitability and synchronization. So far, previous studies on the synchronization of epileptic brain networks mainly focused on the synchronization strength, but the synchronization stability has not yet been explored as deserved. In this paper, we propose a novel idea to construct a hypergraph brain network (HGBN) based on phase synchronization.

In the mammalian ureters, the lamina propria presents as a prominent layer of connective tissue underneath the urothelium. Despite its important structural and signaling functions, little is known how the lamina propria develops. Here, we show that in the murine ureter, the lamina propria arises at late fetal stages and massively increases by fibrocyte proliferation and collagen deposition after birth.
