A randomized comparison of endometrial laser intrauterine thermotherapy and hysteroscopic endometrial resection.

2003

Objective To investigate the difference of long-term amenorrhea rate in patients with menorrhagia treated by endometrial laser intrauterine thermal therapy (ELITT), a new nonhysteroscopic endometrial ablation procedure, versus transcervical hysteroscopic endometrial resection (TCRE). Design Randomized clinical study. Healthy volunteers in an academic research environment. Setting Academic teaching hospital. Patient(s) Premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding. Intervention(s) Fifty-eight patients were treated with the ELITT procedure and 58 patients with TCRE; both groups were treated with GnRH agonists before the procedure. Main outcome measure(s) Bleeding status and patient satis…

Successful treatment of life-threatening bleeding after cesarean section with recombinant activated factor VII.

2006

Hemorrhagic shock developed in a 29-year-old nullipara without coagulopathy after emergency caesarean section. Treatment with uterotonic drugs, prostaglandins, and conservative procedures with transfusion of packed red cells and fresh-frozen plasma failed to control the diffuse vaginal and uterine bleeding. Finally an intravenous bolus injection of 90 μg/kg recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa, NovoSeven®, Novo Nordisk A/S, Bagsvaerd, Denmark), was given and showed success within 20 minutes after administration, without any side effects.

Changes in Periodontal Parameters and C-Reactive Protein After Pregnancy.

2016

This study assesses hormonal, inflammatory, and periodontal changes in pregnant women and postpartum in the absence of periodontal treatment, and seeks to determine any correlations among these parameters.A longitudinal, observational study of 117 pregnant women (aged 23 to 42 years) was undertaken in a private gynecologic center between weeks 32 and 35 of pregnancy and 6 to 8 weeks after delivery. Levels of progesterone and C-reactive protein (CRP) in plasma were determined, as well as periodontal indices, including: 1) plaque index (PI); 2) bleeding on probing (BOP); 3) probing depth (PD); and 4) clinical attachment level (CAL).Postpartum progesterone and CRP declined sharply from 90.85 ±…

Ulipristal acetate versus leuprolide acetate for uterine fibroids

2012

A b s t r ac t Background The efficacy and side-effect profile of ulipristal acetate as compared with those of leuprolide acetate for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids before surgery are unclear. Methods In this double-blind noninferiority trial, we randomly assigned 307 patients with symptomatic fibroids and excessive uterine bleeding to receive 3 months of daily therapy with oral ulipristal acetate (at a dose of either 5 mg or 10 mg) or once-monthly intramuscular injections of leuprolide acetate (at a dose of 3.75 mg). The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with controlled bleeding at week 13, with a prespecified noninferiority margin of −20%. Results Uterine bleed…

"GONE WITH THE WIND": The Transitory Effects of COVID-19 on the Gynecological System

2023

The coronavirus disease no longer seems to represent an insurmountable global problem. This is thanks to the advent of coronavirus vaccines, which have alleviated the most serious symptoms associated with this disease. On the other hand, there are still many extrapulmonary symptoms of COVID-19, and among these also those of a gynecological nature. At the moment, there are several questions in this field, one above all concerns the causal link between COVID-19, vaccines and gynecological alterations. Furthermore, another important aspect is represented by the clinical impact of post-COVID-19 gynecological alterations on the female population which, to date, would seem to be mainly due to the…

LO SCORBUTO, SEGNALE DI ALLARME DI UN DISTURBO DELLO SPETTRO AUTISTICO

2022

The authors describe the case of a 3-year-old girl with bleeding gums and leg pain finally diagnosed with vitamin C deficiency (scurvy) and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). The increased risk of developing scurvy due to a restricted diet in children affected by ASD is stressed.

Association between periodontal disease and non-fatal ischemic stroke: a case-control study

2014

This study aimed to investigate the association between clinical and radiological markers of periodontal disease and ischemic stroke and to assess the potential influence of inflammatory response on the observed associations.A prospective case-control study including a series of 48 cases with a minor ischemic stroke and 47 controls was conducted at the University Hospital of Dijon. Vascular risk factors, clinical dental examination (plaque index, gingival index, percentage of pockets5 mm, percentage of bleeding on probing (BOP) sites), dental panoramic (bone loss) and biological parameters (CRP, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, fasting glucose) were collected. Conditional regression analyses we…
