Impact of lifestyle and diet on endometriosis: a fresh look to a busy corner.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with a prevalence of six to ten percent in women of childbearing age. As long as the aetiology of endometriosis is not fully understood and the disease has no definitive treatment, an examination of the environmental factors or interventions that could modify or cure endometriosis would greatly benefit women suffering from this chronic condition. This literature review utilized the electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE until February 2021.

Urinary Tract Endometriosis: A Multidisciplinary Fight Against a Silent Enemy.

Study Objective: To demonstrate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic robotic assisted approach to urinary tract endometriosis.

Design: This is an educational video to explain the main steps of robotic assisted ureteroneocystostomy owing to endometriosis.

Setting: Tertiary care university hospital.

1 vs 3 days laparoscopic suturing courses: is it feasible to design a valid training curriculum?

Background: Laparoscopic skills are unlikely to be achieved exclusively in the operating theatre, so simulation training has become mandatory to acquire specific psychomotor skills to be merged in a more complex procedure.

Objective: To compare 3-day vs. 1-day laparoscopic suturing courses and to better address participants' needs according to their level of experience.

Pathophysiologic mechanisms by which adenomyosis predisposes to postpartum haemorrhage and other obstetric complications.

Adenomyosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium within the myometrium. This features lead to structural changes in the surrounding myometrium and endometrium resulting also in functional changes. Alterations in the myometrium are suspected to lead to defective remodeling of spiral arteries during the early stages of decidualization resulting in altered vascular resistance and defective placentation.

Sacrohysteropexy: A Way to Spare the Uterus.

Study Objective: To show the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy for treating uterine prolapse.

Design: An educational video to explain the laparoscopic steps of this procedure by focusing on the main anatomic landmarks and on tips and tricks to avoid complications.

Setting: A tertiary care university hospital.

Advanced Interventional Procedures after Intrauterine Tamponade Balloon Insertion in a Tertiary Care Center.

To evaluate the rate of success and practicability of the intrauterine tamponade balloon (ITB) for managing PPH as a fertility-sparing tool. a five-year retrospective monocentric study in a tertiary care center including patients transferred for severe PPH. In 231 patients, the success rate of ITB ( = 57), embolization ( = 58), and medical management ( = 114) was 84.

Variation of fetuin-A in maternal and fetal serum during human parturition.

Background: parturition involves multiple signalling pathways and most advances in research underline the importance of fetal development and maturation in the timing of labour, especially the fetal pituitary-adrenal axis. But, there is currently no consensual hypothesis on all the physiological processes responsible for human parturition.

Methods: sixty low-risk pregnant women were enrolled in a prospective cohort.

Fixed versus variable practice for teaching medical students the management of pediatric asthma exacerbations using simulation.

Unlabelled: Simulation-based trainings represent an interesting approach to teach medical students the management of pediatric asthma exacerbations (PAEs). In this study, we compared two pedagogical approaches, training students once on three different scenarios of PAEs versus training students three times on the same scenario of PAE. Eighty-five third-year medical students, novice learners for the management of PAEs, were randomized and trained.

Serious game versus online course for pretraining medical students before a simulation-based mastery learning course on cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A randomised controlled study.

Background: Although both recorded lectures and serious games have been used to pretrain health professionals before simulation training on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, they have never been compared.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare an online course and a serious game for pretraining medical students before simulation-based mastery learning on the management of sudden cardiac arrest.

Design: A randomised controlled trial.
