Prevalence and predictors of atypical histology in endometrial polyps removed by hysteroscopy: a secondary analysis from the SICMIG hysteroscopy trial

The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of atypical hyperplasia (AH) and endometrial cancer (EC) within endometrial polyps (EPs) removed by hysteroscopy

Simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysteroadnexectomy

As a consequence of the wide applications of operative laparoscopy and thoracoscopy, simultaneous surgical procedures have been carried out endoscopically. We report a 51-year-old woman treated by simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy and celioscopically assisted vaginal hysteroadnexectomy for hydropic calculous gallbladder, uterine myomas, and bilateral ovarian policystosis. These procedures were carried out using six abdominal trocar sites, and the gallbladder was removed through the colpotomic access. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged on postoperative day 5. In our opinion, the multidisciplinary laparoscopic approach, with the original technical solutions, represents an effective, minimally invasive method of treatment that gives new perspective about the indications and the treatment of similar case

[Influence of high doses of ritodrine on basal cardiotocographic tracing during pregnancy]

The authors examine whether high doses of ritodrine may alter the antepartum 'non-stressed FHR monitoring'. In particular, they studied modifications of the 'reactivity' of the tracing. The authors conclude that ritodrine does not significantly affect FHR monitoring, and does not interfere with the antepartum assessment of fetal well being
