Purpose: Transvaginal ultrasound examination is decisive in Gynecologic emergency unit. This study's aim was to evaluate benefits of using a simulator for initial training of medical student for transvaginal ultrasound examination.
Method: A multicenter randomized trial was conducted. Medical student were randomized in two groups: in the intervention group, students took part in a simulation session in addition to the companionship-training while in the control group, they were only trained by companionship. To evaluate their progression, the quality of ultrasound pictures performed in real conditions before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the training by the students of both groups were evaluated and compared. Evaluation was performed according to predefined quality criterias for each ultrasound examination using a score of 20 points. Mean scores of students in both groups were compared for the pre and post-test.
Results: Fifty six medical students were included. Mean scores of the 56 students were significantly better at the post-test than at the pre-test: 10,61/20 [9,62-11, 59] vs 6,35/20 [5,48-7,24], p < 0,001. Mean scores were significantly better at the post-test for students in the intervention group (n = 29) than in the control group (n = 27) 11,79/20 [7,72-10,94] vs 9,33/20 [7,72-10,94], p = 0,01. All the students in the intervention group were satisfied or highly satisfied to take part in this program.
Conclusions: Using a simulator for medical student was beneficial in the initial training of transvaginal ultrasound examination.

Hyperthyroidism in a Twin Pregnancy With a Hydatidiform Mole and a Coexisting Live Fetus: Management Dilemmas.

Hyperthyroidism in twin pregnancies involving a hydatidiform mole and a coexisting live fetus is a rare condition requiring careful management. We present a 34-year-old pregnant woman at 12 weeks' gestation with severe nausea, vomiting, and mild vaginal bleeding. A transvaginal ultrasound revealed a dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy with 1 normal fetus and 1 hydatidiform mole, leading to hyperthyroidism from elevated β human chorionic gonadotropin levels.

Background: To introduce minimally invasive methods for the successful treatment of tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOAs), an antibiotic regimen was considered the first line of treatment. However, in some cases, this approach fails, and another intervention (laparotomy or minimally guidance drainage) is required.

Vasa previa is a condition where unprotected fetal vessels, neither by placenta nor umbilical cord, lie within the membranes over the internal cervical ostium and beneath the presenting part of the fetus. Due to this condition, the membranous vessels pose a higher risk of being compressed or ruptures and could lead to fetal demise, exsanguination, or even fetal death. In this case report, we reported a case of a 36-year-old woman, G3P2A0, at term gestation and oblique lie.

: The aim of this study is to assess the inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of the identification of direct and indirect ultrasonographic features of adenomyosis as defined by the revised Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) consensus (2022). : A cohort of 74 women, aged 18 to 45, were recruited from the recurrent miscarriage and general gynaecology clinic at a university-based fertility centre. All the participants underwent 2D and 3D transvaginal Ultrasound scan (TVS) examination in the late follicular and early luteal phase.

Transvaginal ultrasound-guided follicle aspiration (TVA) is being performed frequently in equine practice, to recover oocytes for in vitro embryo production via intracytoplasmic sperm injection. While complications from TVA are rare, one of the most prevalent major complications is formation of an ovarian abscess, which can result in the necessity for euthanasia. The acute-phase serum proteins, fibrinogen and serum amyloid A (SAA) are markers of inflammation that might be of use in diagnosis of ovarian abscess.
