AI Article Synopsis
- A study examined the prevalence of residual adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) after hysterectomy in women who had clear margins from initial excisional therapy between 2008 and 2021.
- Out of 53 patients, 20.8% showed residual disease, mainly consisting of persistent AIS, with no cases of invasive cancer.
- The findings suggest that even with negative margins, a hysterectomy is recommended post-childbearing, as there’s a notable risk of residual disease.
Article Abstract
Background: Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the cervix can progress to invasive adenocarcinoma. While hysterectomy is standard, conservative management may be considered for women desiring future pregnancies. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of residual disease in hysterectomy specimens following excisional therapy with clear margins for AIS.
Methods: A retrospective FRANCOGYN cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent a hysterectomy after conization with clear margins for AIS between 2008 and 2021. The primary goal was to assess the prevalence of residual disease in the hysterectomy specimens. Secondary objectives included identifying preoperative predictors of residual disease and comparing recurrence rates between patients with and without residual disease.
Results: Of 53 hysterectomies performed after conization with negative margins for AIS, 20.8% (11/53) showed residual disease in the final histology. None of the patients had invasive cancer. In the residual disease group, 18% (2/11) had persistent CIN 3, and 82% (9/11) had persistent AIS. These patients tended to have higher BMI (27.5 kg/m² vs. 23.6 kg/m², p=0.04) and shorter endocervical margins (2mm vs. 5mm, p=0.01). No recurrences were observed during follow-up.
Conclusion: Despite clear margins on the initial conization for AIS, 20% of patients had residual disease in their hysterectomy samples, though no invasive cancer was found. A hysterectomy should be considered after completing childbearing, even if initial margins are clear.

Coexisting sellar Rathke cleft cyst and planum sphenoidale meningioma: illustrative case.
J Neurosurg Case Lessons
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California.
Background: The co-occurrence of Rathke cleft cysts (RCCs) and meningiomas in the sellar and parasellar regions represents an exceedingly rare clinical entity. Achieving maximal resection through a single operative approach while minimizing adverse events is challenging, often necessitating multiple surgical approaches, as suggested by previous reports.
Observations: The authors report the case of a 49-year-old female with a history of kidney transplant who presented with headaches and was diagnosed with coexisting RCC and meningioma in the sellar and planum sphenoidale regions, respectively.
Advanced paranasal sinuses osteomas: a retrospective multicentric analysis on surgical management outcomes and intra- and postsurgical complications.

Otorhinolaryngology and Skull Base Center, AP-HP, Hospital Lariboisière, Paris, France.
Background: This study examines the management and outcomes of large paranasal sinus osteomas (PSO), especially those abutting or encasing critical structures of the skull base and orbit.
Methodology: A multicentric retrospective analysis was conducted between June 2007 and September 2023. The study included surgically treated (regardless the type of approach chosen) PSO, exceeding 3 cm in diameter and/or located in critical anatomical areas.
Rural Environment as a Risk Factor for the Age at Onset of Machado-Joseph Disease.
Mov Disord Clin Pract
January 2025
Programa de Pós-Graduação em Genética e Biologia Molecular, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Background: Machado-Joseph disease (SCA3/MJD) is a neurodegenerative condition caused by a dominant expansion of a CAG repeat (CAGexp). Most of the variability in the age at onset of symptoms (AO) remains unexplained, and environmental influences were scarcely studied.
Objective: The objective was to test if AO of SCA3/MJD carriers can be associated with markers of the rural environment, such as demographic density (DeD), proportion of rural population (PRP), and the consumption of untreated well water (CWW).
Causal Relationship between Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization.

Despite the exponential increase in the incidence rate of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), effective therapies for the disorder are still limited. According to vast clinical observations, the pathogeneses of ASD and Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) share a great deal of similarities. This serves as a prompt to investigate, in this study, whether patients with ADHD are at a higher risk for ASD, which is significant for disease prevention.

Background: Non-tuberculous mycobacterial lung disease may coexist or precede lung cancer, yet a causal link remains unproven. This study aimed to elucidate the causal association between non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and lung cancer.
Methods: Summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for NTM, atypical mycobacterial lung infections, and various types of lung cancer were utilized.
