Objective: The goal of this study is to assess the efficiency of laparoscopic surgical treatment of pain for patients presenting deep endometriosis located on the uterosacral ligaments.
Study Design: We analysed a continuous series of 36 patients treated by operative laparoscopy between January 1993 and April 1995. In all these cases treatment consisted of resection of all the uterosacral ligament(s) together with exeresis of all other endometriotic lesions.
Results: The results were assessed for all the patients with a minimum follow-up of one year. Patients who presented dysmenorrhea (29 cases) improved in 89.7% of cases (26 patients). Out of the 26 patients who presented deep dyspareunia, improvement was evident for 92.3% of cases (24 patients). The chronic pelvic pain suffered (17 cases) improved in 88.2% of cases (15 patients). Patients who benefited from an improvement rated it excellent or satisfactory in 80% of cases.
Conclusion: These results demonstrate that provided the surgeon is highly skilled in laparoscopy, operative laparoscopy is efficient for the treatment of patients presenting painful symptoms related to deep endometriotic implants located on the uterosacral ligaments.

Reporting of concomitant and rescue topical therapies in atopic dermatitis randomised controlled trials evaluating a systemic treatment: a scoping review.
Br J Dermatol

Background: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating new systemic treatments for atopic dermatitis (AD) have increased dramatically over the last decade. These trials often incorporate topical therapies either as permitted concomitant or rescue treatments. Differential use of these topicals post-randomisation introduces potential bias as they may nullify or exaggerate treatment responses.

Fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (f-HP) is an interstitial lung disease in which various antigens in susceptible individuals may play a pathogenetic role. This study evaluates the role of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in identifying a UIP-like pattern and its association with fibrosis progression. We conducted a multicentre retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with f-HP who underwent BAL and TBLC between 2011 and 2023.

Introduction: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is increasingly used for obesity and metabolic disease, with safety profiles showing it is among the safest major operations. The last 20 + years have noted significantly improved safety that has been accompanied by decreasing length of stay and select populations electing for outpatient surgery, leading to continued decreases in cost. Regardless, readmissions and complications still occur, requiring inpatient postoperative care (IP-POC).
