The preoperative evaluation for possible malignancy is challengeable, as is the surgical approach. A consensus has not yet been drawn regarding the optimal treatment approach in cases of exceptionally large teratomas. Case presentation: We report a rare case of minimal laparotomy management of a giant ovarian cystic teratoma in a 32-year-old asymptomatic multiparous woman. The patient was diagnosed while performing a fitness-to-work checkup where the physician noted a suspicious abdominal swelling. Subsequently, she was referred to us for further evaluation. Her CA125 level was raised, and an abdominal contrast computed tomography revealed a huge teratoma. After appropriate counselling, laparotomy and adenectomy were performed. Histopathological examination diagnosed a mature cystic teratoma with no malignant transformation. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the third post-operative day. Conclusions: We conclude that dermoid cysts can reach enormous sizes in the absence of serious symptoms or evidence of malignancy, although the size is a well-known risk factor for malignant transformation.","PeriodicalId":87379,"journal":{"name":"World journal of gynecology & womens health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44267447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The maternal and fetal outcomes were recorded. Results: GDM group had significantly higher mean 25(OH)D (11.8±8.0 ng/ml) compared to controls (7.7±6.1 ng/ml, p<0.01). There was no correlation of vitamin D levels with; maternal age, Apgar levels, birth week and fetal weight. Furthermore, there was no correlation of 25(OH)D levels with mode of delivery, intensive care need of new-born and macrosomia. Conclusions: Although there are numerous reports about positive correlation between vitamin D deficiency and GDM in pregnancy, we found the opposite. In severe vitamin D deficiency, the mechanisms may differ and should be identified further.","PeriodicalId":87379,"journal":{"name":"World journal of gynecology & womens health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44489250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Study design: A prospective comparative cohort study of 60 women of reproductive age was conducted. The main group consisted of 32 patients suffering from the symptomatic course of uterine fibroids who received treatment with HIFU ablation of uterine fibroids: 17 women with node localization at the front wall of the uterus and the reflected action of ultrasonic waves on the endometrium and 15 women with the back wall node localization and penetrating effect of the waves. The control group consisted of 28 healthy fertile women examined voluntarily. The endometrium obtained with pipelle-biopsia on days 20-22 of the cycle was examined by immunohistochemistry before and three months after the treatment. The results were processed by the method of variation statistics using the SPSS 22.0. Results: A significant decrease in the stromal expression of CD95 bright in the endometrium to the level comparable with control values was observed after HIFU ablation of uterine fibroids (from 70.22±9.77 c/s to 48.81±5.47 c/s; p<0.001; the control level – 47.80±2.13 c/s). The ratio and expression of steroid receptors, proliferation markers, p53-dependent apoptosis and itsblockers, regulators and markers of angiogenesis, LIF and LIF-R signalling molecules in thestroma and endometrial glands did not change significantly after treatment (p>0.05 in treatment dynamics). It was demonstrated that focused ultrasound causes an increase in the level of expression of estradiol alpha receptors in the endometrial glands (118.07±14.01 points vs.153.33±11.43 points; p=0.02) and a decrease in stromal p 53 expression (30.80±21.61% vs.14.66±3.74%; p=0.007). No influence of the localization of fibroid node on the stromal expression of CD56 bright+ was demonstrated. A significant increase in the stromal expression of CD34+ to the level statistically comparable with control values (from 26.00±1.63 c/s to 32.47±2.03 c/s; p=0.011; the control level - 37.99±1.23 c/s) was associated with ultrasound action.

Study design: We conducted a cross-sectional study whereby one hundred and fifteen women diagnosed with PCOS were recruited from a fertility clinic in a 6-month period. All participants had their weight and height measured and body mass index (BMI) calculated. Thereafter, they were divided into two groups: normal BMI (BMI ≤25 kg/m2) and high BMI (BMI >25 kg/m2). Fasting blood samples were obtained and total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, HDL-C, glucose, and insulin levels were measured in both groups. Insulin resistance was calculated using the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) equation. Differences in these variables were assessed using the Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. Results: No statistically significant differences were found between both groups of women in terms of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels. Insulin resistance was significantly more prevalent in the high BMI (78.3%) than in the normal BMI group (59.1%) (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Dyslipidemia in women with PCOS is not related to their BMI. Early detection and treatment of dyslipidemia in this group of women will protect them from cardiovascular diseases.","PeriodicalId":87379,"journal":{"name":"World journal of gynecology & womens health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45919557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: compare the efficacy of relief of GSM with intravaginal use of estriol monoproduct and a combination product containing estriol, micronized progesterone and Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus Doderleini. Materials and Methods: the study enrolled 69 postmenopausal women aged 53.6±2.1 diagnosed with postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis. After screening, the patients were randomized into 2 groups: Group 1 (n=34) used 0.5 mg/day of estriol monoproduct intravaginal for 14 days, followed by a gradual dose reduction based on symptom relief until a maintenance dose was reached (i.e. 1 suppository 2 times a week), Group 2 (n=35) used intravaginal combination product in the form of capsules containing 0.2 mg of estriol, 2.0 mg of micronized progesterone and lyophilized culture of L. casei rhamnosus Doderleini – 341mg (2*107 CFU) (Trioginal, Besins Healthcare SA, Belgium). The product was prescribed to be taken at a dose of 2 capsules intravaginal 1 time/day for 20 days, then 1 capsule/day. Total duration of therapy in both groups was 12 weeks. After the end of therapy, patients were monitored for 12 weeks. To determine the efficacy of the treatment, subjective and objective clinical symptoms of GSM were evaluated using the adapted Nappi RE scale at the study visits. 5-point D. Barlow scale, vaginal pH, Bachmann’s Vaginal Health Index was additionally used. The main software for statistical analysis was the IBM SPSS 22 statistical package. Results: After 12 weeks of treatment, complaints of dyspareunia resolved completely in 18 (52.9%) patients in Group 1 and 25 (71.5%) in Group 2, p<0.05; 12 weeks after the end of therapy: in 24 (70.6%) patients in Group 1 and in 34 (97.1%) patients in Group 2, p<0.05. Improvement in elasticity after 12 weeks of therapy was observed in 19 (55.9%) and 27 (77.1%) patients of Group 1 and Group 2, respectively (p<0.05); normal epithelial thickness was observed in 26 (76.5%) and 30 (85.7%) patients, respectively (p<0.05). 12 weeks after the end of treatment in Group 1 and Group 2, improvement in elasticity was observed in 22 (64.7%) and 30 (85.7%) patients; normal epithelial thickness was observed in 22 (64.7%) and 27 (77.1%) patients, respectively (p<0.05). For the rest of analysed parameters (D. Barlow scale, pH, Bachmann’s Vaginal Health Index) statistical analysis did not reveal any statistically significant differences between the groups in the dynamics of treatment and follow-up. Conclusion: Thus, local combination hormone therapy with probiotic support can be an effective treatment option for genitourinary syndrome of menopause since it helps to enhance proliferative processes, improve blood circulation, restore biocenosis and relieve symptoms of coital pain.

NIPT technologies provide significant improvements over conventional invasive prenatal testing and consequently, international bodies endorse NIPT as a routine screening option [5,6]. This has resulted in many institutions adopting NIPT within the scope of standard of care for autosomal and sex chromosomal aneuploidy detection (SCA).
