Conservative surgical treatment in cervical dysplastic lesions associated with cystorectocele

The treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia aims at removing the squamocolumnar junction area, including abnormal tissues, up to the healthy tissue. Old postpartum perineal tears associated with cystorectocele, hypertrophic cervical elongation, and first and second degree uterine prolapse are pelvic static disorders. Particular aspects of pelvic-genital static disorder are related to the vulnerability of the pelvic-perineal floor during birth. On the occasion of birth, especially when there are different forms of dystocia during labor, the degradation of soft pelvic, genital, and vaginal-perineal tissues can occur. The objective of this study was to re-evaluate the conservative treatment of cervical dysplasia, depending on the degree of cervical lesions, the surface extension, the age of the patients, and the pathology associated with cervical lesions – colpocele, cystorectocele, and urinary incontinence in the old postpartum perineal tears. In order to solve the three types of concomitant lesions, we used the Manchester operation: the anterior colporrhaphy with the recalibration of the urethra and the suspension of the cystocele, the minimal colpectomy, the lesional cervical amputation with the anterior fixation of the parameters, and the posterior colpoperineorrhaphy with high myorrhaphy of the levator ani muscles. The decision on the management of cervical dysplasia has taken into account the degree of cervical lesions, the extension on the surface, the patients’ age and the pregnancy planning, and the pathology associated with cervical lesions. The Manchester operation is a conservative surgical procedure, effective in women under 45 years old, multiparous, with present genital activity, with dysplastic cervical lesions and cystorectocele. It also solves cystorectocele, cervical dysplasia, hypertrophic cervical elongation, and first and second degree uterine prolapse

Bologna Process Implementation in Romania: Policy Implementation Lessons

Romania is one of the signatories of the Bologna Process Declaration in 1999.Following this decision, Romania made efforts for the alignment of its higher education system to the objectives and the policies promoted by the Bologna Process. In this process different action lines have received different attention, as the understanding of the policy problems and the national priorities were not always in line with the EHEA ministerial agreements. The current article looks at the main commitments Romania has made within the Bologna Process by analysing the overall national implementation, the associated funding policies and institutional practices. The article focuses on three Bologna Process action lines: social dimension, quality assurance and internationalization of higher education, due to their complexity (beyond legal changes), impact at the grassroots level and their various understandings by the stakeholder community. The article ends with a short overview of the policy lessons that can be drawn regarding Bologna Process and its national translation for other countries which found themselves in policy transitions in the past two decades

Evidence-Basing the Future of the EHEA

The EHEA has been launched in 2010 with the wider goal of ensuring more comparable, compatible and coherent systems of higher education in Europe. This initiative, deemed by many observers as one of the most successful regional cooperation process in the field of higher education policies, relies on soft-coordination mechanisms grounded on the principle of evidence-based policy making (Deca, 2013). The present article aims at illustrating the way in which European level policy decisions have so far been grounded on evidence, while making the case for potential additional tools that could contribute to achieving the EHEA goals: data analytics, semantic analysis and ‘big data’ approaches
