Objective: Uterine artery occlusion (UAO) is a minimally invasive approach often used to treat symptomatic uterine myomas. This study aimed to compare the clinical effects of laparoscopic UAO (LUAO) in combination with laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) with LM alone to treat symptomatic multiple uterine myomas.
Methods: This was a prospective observational study. In total, 122 patients with symptomatic multiple uterine myomas underwent LUAO + LM or LM alone between April 2015 and October 2017. The surgical procedure time, blood loss, highest postoperative temperature, hospital length of stay, number of removed myomas, surgical complications, and recurrence rate of the two groups were compared.
Results: Mean blood loss was significantly lower in the LUAO + LM group compared with the LM group (177.97 ± 104.09 mL vs 258.10 ± 119.55 mL, p < 0.05). No significant difference in surgical procedure time, hospital length of stay, highest postoperative temperature, and surgical complications was found between the LUAO + LM group and LM group. The number of removed myomas was considerably higher in the LUAO + LM group than in the LM group (4[4-7] vs 3[3-5], p < 0.05). The recurrence rate in the LUAO + LM group was considerably lower than that in the LM group (6.2% vs 25.9%).
Conclusion: LUAO in combination with LM was associated with higher surgical quality and lower recurrence of myomas compared with LM alone. LUAO in combination with LM is recommended for women with symptomatic multiple uterine myomas who wish to retain their uteruses.

Chapter 6: SYNDROMIC PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM.
Ann Endocrinol (Paris)
January 2025
Endocrinology Department, Huriez Hospital, Lille University Hospital, France. Electronic address:
Syndromic primary hyperparathyroidism has several features in common: younger age at diagnosis when compared with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism, often synchronous or metachronous multi-glandular involvement, higher possibility of recurrence, association with other endocrine or extra-endocrine disorders, and suggestive family background with autosomal dominant inheritance. Hyperparathyroidism in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is the most common syndromic hyperparathyroidism. It is often asymptomatic in adolescents and young adults, but may be responsible for recurrent lithiasis and/or bone loss.

Background: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a systemic condition that might lead to dysphagia because of massive osteophytes that may be present at multiple levels. Confirming the symptomatic level to guide surgical management and avoid extensive surgery is important, however, there is no globally accepted consensus on the topic.
Case Description: We report the case of a 51-year-old man, with no specific past medical history, who has been complaining of a 3-months pain in the left side of the tongue base with sensation of a lump in the throat and dysphagia.

Background: Rapid identification of individuals with acute respiratory infections is crucial for preventing nosocomial infections. For rapid diagnosis, especially in EDs, lateral flow devices (LFDs) are a convenient, inexpensive option with a rapid turnaround. Several 'multiplex' LFDs (M-LFDs) now exist, testing for multiple pathogens from a single swab sample.

Over the last two decades the development of small probes has enabled percutaneous use of cryotherapy. Cryotherapy, also known as cryoablation, enables the treatment of much larger lesions than other thermal ablation techniques, particularly when using multiple evenly spaced probes. Using rapid cooling to as low as -200 degrees Celsius (at the tip of the probe), reliable, and predictable necrosis can be induced.

Introduction: Radiological calcified cerebral embolism (CCE) characteristics have been reported in small case series. Our aim was to describe clinical and radiological CCE characteristics in a large number of CCE and to compare characteristics between different patient groups.
Methods: Characteristics of 79 stroke patients with CCE were analyzed retrospectively.
