Late results of surgical development of artificial vagina in 18 patients by the Glowiński method are discussed. The Rokitansky-Küster syndrome was found in 16 women, and pseudomale hermaphrodism in two. In 12 cases the results of operation were positive, satisfactory in 3, and negative in the remaining 3 cases. The surgical method is simple and safe, and from the functional point of view prognosis is favourable.

The Relationship Between the Positive Drain Tip Cultures and the Incidence of Surgical Site Infection After Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery.
Pediatr Infect Dis J
January 2025
Cardiovascular Surgery, Gunma Children's Medical Center, Gunma, Japan.
Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a significant complication following pediatric cardiovascular surgery. Although drain tip cultures (DTC) are sometimes used postoperatively to predict SSIs, their diagnostic value in pediatric cardiovascular surgery remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic utility of DTC for predicting SSIs in pediatric cardiovascular surgery patients.

Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the importance of ensuring respectful and dignified childbirth experiences. However, many countries, including Rwanda, have documented negative experiences during childbirth. Identifying best practices can help uncover sustainable solutions for resource-limited settings rather than focusing solely on the challenges and negative aspects.

PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.
Objective: This study aimed to introduce and evaluate a novel software-based system, BioTrace, designed for real-time monitoring of thermal ablation tissue damage during image-guided radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: BioTrace utilizes a proprietary algorithm to analyze the temporo-spatial behavior of thermal gas bubble activity during ablation, as seen in conventional B-mode ultrasound imaging. Its predictive accuracy was assessed by comparing the ablation zones it predicted with those annotated by radiologists using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) 24 hours post-treatment, considered the gold standard.
Strategies to reduce hyperglycemia-related anxiety in elite athletes with type 1 diabetes: A qualitative analysis.
PLoS One
January 2025
School of Human Nutrition, McGill University, Montreal, Québec, Canada.
Objective: Managing blood glucose levels is challenging for elite athletes with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as competition can cause unpredictable fluctuations. While fear of hypoglycemia during physical activity is well documented, research on hyperglycemia-related anxiety (HRA) is limited. HRA refers to the heightened fear that hyperglycemia-related symptoms will impair functioning.

PLoS One
January 2025
Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Survival analysis is critical in many fields, particularly in healthcare where it can guide medical decisions. Conventional survival analysis methods like Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models to generate survival curves indicating probability of survival v. time have limitations, especially for long-term prediction, due to assumptions that all instances follow a general population-level survival curve.
