Neonatal uterine bleeding as a precursor to endometriosis in adulthood.

To investigate the impact of the occurrence of vaginal bleeding during newborn first days of life with the present condition of the patient diagnosed with endometriosis/adenomyosis and its real incidence in Tbilisi region a multicenter study has been conducted1. The frequency of Neonatal uterine bleeding (NUB) was prospectively evaluated among 5 maternity hospitals, in the town of Tbilisi in Georgia between October 1st 2016 until October 1st 2018. During the same time period, 500 women visited our clinics with histopathological confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis after surgery, consented to participate in a survey study of Neonatal Uterine Bleeding were interviewed with special questionnaire.

The ElectroUteroGraph: A Novel Tool for Assessing Uterine Contractions of Non-Pregnant Women.

Uterine contractility is known to play significant role in women's health. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging have been used for assessing uterine peristalsis, however they lack practicality, objectivity, and cost-effectiveness. In this paper, the ElectroUteroGraph (EUG) and novel electrodes are introduced, to cover the unmet need of practical intrauterine contractility assessment.

From complication to litigation: The importance of non-technical skills in the management of complications.

Complications do occur in daily clinical life and can sometimes lead to litigation, which adversely affect the entire health care system, leading to a loss of confidence in medical providers, an increase in defensive medical practice and high professional indemnity insurance costs. Some complications are inevitable but can be minimised by completing a structured training programme. The likelihood of litigation can be reduced when adequate and clear information is given to the patient preoperatively.

Junctional Zone Endometrium Morphological Characteristics and Functionality: Review of the Literature.

The junctional zone endometrium (JZE) is a compacted layer of smooth muscle cells with little extracellular matrix. The innermost myometrium adjacent to the endometrium, JZE is best visualized and evaluated on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and two-dimensional/three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) scanning. Increased thickness of JZE >12 mm on MRI images has been associated with myometrial and subendometrial pathologic conditions, such as, adenomyosis, and is considered a poor prognostic factor for implantation.

Junctional zone endometrium alterations in gynecological and obstetrical disorders and impact on diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.

Purpose Of Review: To investigate the JZE alterations in gynecological and obstetrical disorders and impact on diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.

Recent Findings: JZE was found to be significantly extended in patients with endometriosis, leading to the conclusion that endometriosis is a primary disease of the uterus, much like adenomyosis. Statistical correlation was then demonstrated between the severity of endometriosis and the depth of the adenomyosis infiltrates, hence the thickening of the JZE.

Review of migraine incidence and management in obstetrics and gynaecology.

Purpose: Migraines are the third most prevalent disorder, and seventh-highest specific cause of disability worldwide. Migraines have a multitude of underlying aetiologies; the pathology may come as a result of hormonal treatment or as a sole symptom during menstrual cycle or pregnancy, with variable intensity and duration. In addition, clinicians should be fully aware of the potential complications and well-versed in management options.

Training and qualification in gynecological minimal access surgery: A systematic review.

Minimally invasive surgery demands specific endoscopic psychomotor skills that are usually acquired outside the operating theatre. We present the results of a systematic analysis to identify how simulation is used during training and qualification in minimal access surgery to improve gynecologist's surgical skills. We found that despite the availability of simulation tools along with methods for training and testing specific endoscopic psychomotor and technical skills, there is no clear evidence of the superiority of one tool or method over the others in skill acquisition.

Uterine scar rupture - Prediction, prevention, diagnosis, and management.

The increasing rate of elective and indicated caesarean sections worldwide has led to new pathologies and management challenges. The number of patients undergoing trial of labor after caesarean section (TOLAC) is also increasing. Three professional societies provide detailed guidelines based on scientific evidence for the management of patients attempting vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC).
