A radioimmunoassay was used to study the effect of 26-day clinostatic hypokinesia on the level of sex hormones and cortisol in the peripheral blood plasma of 10 female papio hamadryas immobilized in different phases of the menstrual cycle. A significant decrease in the level of estradiol in the follicular phase and progesterone in the luteal phase was shown whereas the levels of cortisol and testosterone did not practically vary. Dependence of the adrenal gland reactivity to an acute immobilization stress on a cycle phase with minimal values in the luteal period was shown. It is assumed that the revealed imbalance of sex steroids was one of the reasons for disturbance of menstrual function found in hypokinesia of the females in both phases of the cycle.

Purpose: Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) is a surgical intervention that is still performed in large numbers worldwide and has severe effects in terms of both obstetric and sexual consequences. Due to the increase in immigration, it has become more frequent in many countries. This study aims to compare the labor performance, complications, and postpartum sexual function of Type 3 Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) pregnant women undergoing deinfibulation with Type 3 FGM/C patients without deinfibulation.

Purpose: The adoption of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly widespread, yet its influence on outcomes in outpatient surgery remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate whether robotic assistance reduces the rate of 90-day postoperative events in patients undergoing outpatient THA, compared to those in inpatient procedures.

Methods: This historical-prospective cohort study analyzed 706 primary THA cases performed between January 2017 and January 2023 by three senior surgeons.

Introduction: Pancreatic cancer arising in the context of BRCA predisposition may benefit from poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors. We analyzed real-world data on the impact of olaparib on survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer patients harboring germline BRCA mutations in Italy, where olaparib is not reimbursed for this indication.

Methods: Clinico/pathological data of pancreatic cancer patients with documented BRCA1-2 germline pathogenic variants who had received first-line chemotherapy for metastatic disease were collected from 23 Italian oncology departments and the impact of olaparib exposure on overall survival (OS) was analyzed.
