Diagnóstico de Metástasis Ováricas de un linfoma B diseminado mediante ecografía 3D

RESUMEN La participación del aparato genitourinario en el contexto de la enfermedad hematológica maligna es bien conocida. No obstante, la afectación ovárica por linfomas es inusual, ya sea de novo o como manifestación tardía de linfoma diseminado. El objetivo de esta comunicación es exponer la aportación diagnóstica de la ecografía tridimensional (3D) en la detección de metástasis ováricas, cuando todavía algunas de las pruebas de imagen estándar como la tomografía computarizada (TAC) son normales. En este caso presentamos una paciente con linfoma B difuso de células grandes mediastínico de crecimiento rápido y diseminación precoz a aparato gastrointestinal y genitourinario.

Cultural Beliefs, Perceptions, and Experiences on Female Genital Mutilation Among Women and Men: A Qualitative Analysis.

The practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) is a deeply-rooted tradition that affects predominantly regions of Africa and Asia. Because of migration flows, FGM is an issue of increasing concern worldwide. FGM is now carried out in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, and more specifically among immigrant communities from countries where it is common. This study aims to assess the experience, knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs related to FGM of migrant women and men from FGM-affected countries residing in Spain and the United Kingdom.

Female Genital Mutilation Consequences and Healthcare Received among Migrant Women: A Phenomenological Qualitative Study

European healthcare systems are increasingly being challenged to respond to female genital mutilation (FGM). This study explores the FGM experiences of migrant women coming from FGM-practicing countries residing in a European host country. A qualitative phenomenological study was carried out and 23 participants were included. Data were collected through 18 face-to-face open-ended interviews and a focus group and were analysed using Giorgi’s four-step phenomenological approach. Three main themes were derived: “FGM consequences”, “healthcare received” and “tackling FGM”. Participants highlighted obstetric, gynaecological and genitourinary consequences such as haemorrhages, perineal tears, cae…
