Cervical occlusion is a rare but serious complication after conization of the uterine cervix. We report on a 69-year-old woman with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2, who successfully underwent follow-up biopsy of an occluded cervical canal after conization using a disposable skin biopsy punch. The disposable skin biopsy punch was inserted into a slight dimple, which was considered a uterine os, in the direction of the cervical canal, and a sample of tissue was obtained from the occluded portion. This procedure was performed without anesthesia and was completed uneventfully. Histological examination of the excised tissue revealed CIN 3. In addition, the procedure resulted in recanalization of the occluded cervical canal. The occlusion was limited in the external portion of the cervical os and attributed to adhesion of scar tissue during the healing process. Our experience suggests that a disposable skin biopsy punch can be used for follow-up biopsy and recanalization in patients with cervical occlusion after conization as a less invasive approach.

The food and pharmaceutical sectors frequently utilize vanillin (VAN), a food ingredient with a pleasing flavor and aroma. However, excessive consumption of VAN causes several health problems, including liver and kidney damage, headaches, skin conditions, nausea, and vomiting. To prevent health problems, it is crucial to identify and control the amount of VAN in food and drugs.

Objective: To describe features and habits of diaper area care and compare the frequency of diaper dermatitis in infants using cloth diapers with those using disposable diapers.

Methods: Questionnaires were administered to families with infants who had not started potty training, to assess the frequency of diaper rash in two groups: babies who use exclusively cloth diapers (CD), and others with exclusively disposable diapers (DD). The hygiene methods of the perineal region and the skin lesions frequency were evaluated.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine characteristics of diaper dermatitis (DD) in critically ill patients aged 0 to 24 months following surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD), the effects of a diaper dermatitis care bundle (DDCB), and factors associated with the development of DD in this population.

Design: Nonrandomized comparison cohort study with a historical comparison group.

Subjects And Setting: Convenience sampling was used to identify children aged 0 to 24 months undergoing CHD and cared for in a pediatric intensive care unit in central Taiwan (Taichung).

Article Synopsis
  • Precise identification of nerve fascicles is crucial for certain surgeries on peripheral nerves, with bipolar nerve stimulation preferred, but many still use handheld monopolar stimulators.
  • The study presents a new technique for monopolar stimulation, where both the anode and cathode are placed on the same nerve fascicle to enhance specificity.
  • Two surgical cases demonstrated that this modified method allowed for better selection of nerve fascicles, resulting in successful outcomes without unexpected complications.
