Personalized Treatment of Vulvar Cancer
2022
Vulvar cancer (VC) accounts for 5% of all gynecologic cancer and the most common histological type is squamous cell carcinoma (up to 90%)
New treatment for stress urinary incontinence
2003
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Zuidex implacement for the treatment of type III incontinence. Methods: We evaluated 36 women (median age 51) with type III ( MUCP<20 cm H2O and VLPP<60 cm H2O), with fixed urethra demonstrated (Delta Value<30 at Q-tip test). 21 (58.3%) had undergone previous continence surgery .They were recluted by a complete urogynaecological work-up( Vaginal profile, Q- tip test, Endoscopy and Urodynamic study, one hour Pad test, Ultrasonography). We defined as cured patients that were dry after the implant was performed, and as improved those who decreased in number of pads and symptoms.We underwent all patients an intrauret…
Impact of monopolar and bipolar endometrial resection on abnormal uterine bleeding
2013
Study Objective. To compare two procedures for endometrial resection: resectoscopy with monopolar knife versus resectoscopy with bipolar knife. Patients and methods. 76 perimenopausal patients affected by DUB (Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding), no longer wishing to remain pregnant and having failed to respond to pharmacological treatment, underwent endometrial ablation with monopolar loop (group A: 38 women) or bipolar loop (group B: 38 women). Operative parameters, complication rate, menstrual outcome were considered. Results. Operative time was no different between groups. The amount of distention fluid adsorbed was significantly higher in group A than in group B, and late cumulative compli…
Sentinel Lymph Node in Aged Endometrial Cancer Patients “The SAGE Study”: A Multicenter Experience
2021
ObjectiveThe incidence of endometrial cancer is increasing in elderly people. Considering that aging progressively affects lymphatic draining function, we aimed to define its impact on IGC uptake during SLN mapping.MethodsA multicenter retrospective cohort of endometrial cancer patients with apparently early-stage endometrial cancer undergoing complete surgical staging with SLN dissection was identified in four referral cancer centers from May 2015 to March 2021. Patients were classified in Group 1 (&lt;65 years old) and Group 2 (≥65 years old). The primary endpoint was the assessment of the overall, bilateral, and unsuccessful SLN mapping in the two groups. Secondary outcomes were the …
Studio dell'apoptosi cellulare nella pre-eclampsia mediante valutazione del CD95 linfocitario in pazienti trattate con antitrombina III
2009
L'etimologia della pre-eclampsia rimane ancora oggi sconosciuta ma sappiamo abbastanza sulla sua fisiopatologia, da consentire l'adozione di presidi terapeutici atti ad espletare un controllo sintomatologico della sindrome ma non a curarla. Nel presente lavoro ci siamo posti l'obiettivo di valutare in corso di trattamento con ATIII l'andamento dei valori di CD95 dei linfociti del circolo periferico, in qualità di indicatore dei processi di apoptosi cellulare in una condizione di "Graft versus host disease", quale potrebbe considerarsi la gravidanza complicata da pre-eclampsia.

Placental Chorangiocarcinoma a Specific Histological Pattern of Uncertain Incidence and Clinical Impact: Systematic Review of the Literature
2023
Chorangiocarcinoma is a very rare and misdiagnosed placental neoplasm. The unique morphologic features of the lesion distinguish it from other trophoblastic tumors and vascular abnormalities. We present a systematic review of the literature to provide clarity on chorangiocarcinoma entity and biology. A literature search was carried out in December 2022 using the keywords “Placental chorangiocarcinoma”, “Chorangioma”, “Placenta”, and “Throphoblast proliferation”. Articles published from 1988 to 2022 were obtained from Scopus, Google Scholar, and PUBMED. In our review, we examined maternal age, gestational age at the time of delivery, parity, type of pregnancy, placental weight, ultrasound fe…
Simplified first-trimester fetal cardiac screening (four chamber view and ventricular outflow tracts) in a low-risk population
2014
Objectives Our aim was to assess the accuracy of a simplified fetal cardiac study, inclusive of four-chamber view (4CV) and ventricular outflow tracts, performed during the 11–14 week screening by well-trained obstetricians to detect congenital heart diseases (CHDs). Methods A transabdominal ultrasound was performed on 4820 singleton pregnant women at 11–14 weeks to visualize the visceral site, the 4CV, and the outflow tracts. Neonatal outcomes were recorded 6 and 12 months after birth. Results Among the 4820 patients reviewed, 790 were excluded because of loss at prenatal or postnatal follow-up (649 cases), or inability to obtain adequate first-trimester sonographic cardiac evaluation (141…
Does Hysteroscopic Dissection of Partial Uterine Septum Represent a Risk Factor for Placental Abnormalities in Subsequent Pregnancy Compared with Con…
2022
Background: Hysteroscopic septum dissection (HSD) is thought to improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes. However, the available literature suggests that uterine surgery can cause placental abnormalities in subsequent pregnancies. Methods: A case–control study was performed at the University Medical Center of Ljubljana, Department of Human Reproduction, from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2018. The primary outcome was the association between HSD and the occurrence of placental abnormalities. We included women who underwent HSD due to infertility. Age-matched women who underwent hysteroscopic surgery for other issues were considered as controls. In addition, we divided the groups according to…
Environment and Endometriosis: A toxic relationship
2015
Endometriosis is a common, be- nign, estrogen-dependent gynecological dis- ease that represents one of the main causes of hospitalization in industrialized countries. It is well established that a large amount of natural and man-made chemicals are present in the en- vironment and both humans and animals are exposed to them. Dioxin and dioxin-like com- pounds have long biological half-life, can accu- mulate within the organism and could negative- ly affect several physiological processes. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the possible relationship between these chemicals and the pathogenesis of en- dometriosis.
