Objective: To study the fertility and live birth (LB) rate in women after surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) without bowel involvement and to evaluate the predictive factors of LB after DIE surgery without bowel involvement.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. A total of 118 women who wished to conceive and who underwent surgery for DIE without bowel involvement were analyzed between January 2006 and December 2014. A multivariate logistic regression analysis of selected factors and a nomogram to predict the subsequent LB rate was constructed.
Results: Thirty-six woman had a LB (30.5%). In multivariate analysis, factors associated with a LB were: age ≤30 years (p = 0.0024), BMI ≤ 25 kg/m (p = 0.029) and Enzian grade 1 (p < 0.001). These factors were associated to develop a nomogram. Before and after the bootstrap sampling procedure, the predictive model had an AUC of 0.84 (95% CI, 0.82-0.86) and 0.81 (95% CI, 0.79-83), respectively, and showed a good calibration.
Conclusions: This work presents the originality of describing the fertility and the LB rate after surgery for DIE without bowel involvement with a predictive model. Such tools can help clinicians to support the patient in making an informed decision about fertility treatment options, contributing to the decision-making process by defining simple risk factors of poor LB probability that can help identify good candidates for MAR.

Small intestinal organoids are similar to actual small intestines in structure and function and can be used in various fields, such as nutrition, disease, and toxicity research. However, the basal-out type is difficult to homogenize because of the diversity of cell sizes and types, and the Matrigel-based culture conditions. Contrastingly, the apical-out form of small intestinal organoids is relatively uniform and easy to manipulate without Matrigel.

Introduction: In Crohn's disease (CD), lesions are mainly distributed in a segmental manner, with the primary sites of involvement being the ileum and colon. Heterogeneity in colon and ileum results in location-specific clinical presentations and therapeutic responses. Mucosal healing tends to be more readily and quickly achieved in the colon than in the ileum, where lesions are more likely to develop into complex behaviors.

Juice and decoction of leaves of Suaeda fruticosa, a halophytic medicinal plant of Cholistan desert, is traditionally used to treat rheumatism. The current study was carried out to probe into in vivo anti-nociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-arthritic potential of ethanolic extract of the whole plant of S. fruticosa (Et-SF) and its bioactive molecules.

Introduction: Electrical stimulation (E-stim) can reduce the impact of complications, like spasticity, bladder dysfunction in people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs), enhancing quality of life and health outcomes. With SCI prevalence high in regional Australia and a shift towards home-based community integrated care, the perspectives of people with SCI and healthcare professionals on current and future use of E-stim home-devices are needed.
Methods: A mixed-methods concurrent triangulation approach was used.

The early microbial colonization of the porcine gut is an important priming factor for gut and immune development. Nevertheless, little is known about the composition of microbes that translocate into the ileo-cecal lymph nodes (ICLN) in the neonatal phase. This study aimed to characterize age- and nutrition-related changes in the metabolically active bacterial and fungal composition of the ICLN in suckling and newly weaned piglets.
