BACKGROUNDGynaecological laparoscopic surgery outcomes can be compromised by the formation of de novo adhesions. This randomized, double-blind study was designed to assess efficacy and safety 4% icodextrin solution (Adept®) in reduction adhesion incidence compared lactated Ringer's (LRS).
What is the effect of a legal limitation number embryos that can be transferred in an assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle on multiple delivery rate?The Belgian national register shows introduction reimbursement ART laboratory costs July 2003, and imposition same year, were associated with >50% reduction pregnancy rate from 27 to 11% between 2003 last assessment 2010, without any per cycle.Individual IVF centres have published their results since implementation law, these show...
To set forth experiences in the context of SERGS Pilot Curriculum—the first standardized educational program for robotic use gynecological surgery—in terms feasibility, effectiveness and potential certification. The Society European Robotic Gynecological Surgery (SERGS) outlined a Curriculum education robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Its feasibility acceptance were checked form fellowship pilot conducted at four Centers Excellence Results conclusions derived from this are presented....
Background: Tityus serrulatus venom (Ts venom) is a complex mixture of several compounds with biotechnological and therapeutical potentials, which highlights the importance identification characterization these components. Although considerable number studies have been dedicated to this cocktail, there still limitation knowledge concerning its composition. Most Ts aim isolate characterize their neurotoxins, are small, basic proteins eluted high buffer concentrations on cation exchange...
Four-hundred-and-ninety-one oocytes were collected from 142 successive patients attending for in-vitro fertilization. The systematic observation of pronuclei between 14 and 18 h after insemination revealed 27 cases tripronucleate eggs among 391 fertilized (6.9%), which corresponds to rates generally reported in the literature. following parameters analysed relation incidence these eggs: aetiology infertility, follicular response hormonal stimulation, type ovulatory stimulus, sperm count...
FIGO classification is commonly used for staging of locally advanced cervical cancer. Laparoscopic para-aortic lymphadenectomy currently as a diagnostic tool, since we know that presence lymph node metastases identifies patients with poor prognosis. The application robotics during this procedure needs to be investigated.Retrospective multi-center study.Three centers participated in building one database.Thirty-seven cancer underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic lymphadenectomy.Patients were...

Disulfide bonds are post-translationnal modifications that can be crucial for the stability and biological activities of natural peptides. Considering importance these disulfide bond-containing peptides, development new techniques in order to characterize is great interest. For this purpose, collision cross cections (CCS) a large data set 118 peptides (displaying various sequences) bearing zero, one, two, or three bond(s) have been measured study at different charge states using ion...
Animal venoms are rich in hundreds of toxins with extraordinary biological activities. Their exploitation is difficult due to their complexity and the small quantities venom available from most venomous species. We developed a Venomics approach combining transcriptomic proteomic characterization 191 species identified 20,206 toxin sequences. Two complementary production strategies based on solid-phase synthesis recombinant expression Escherichia coli generated physical bank 3597 toxins....
Two hundred and forty-seven patients with uterine fibroids were randomized to surgery alone or 3 months' Zoladex® (Zeneca, Macclesfield, Ches., UK) followed by surgery. Zoladex significantly reduced fibroid volumes (p = 0.0001). There was a 0.002) greater mean rise in haemoglobin from entry preoperation the group (1 g/dl) compared surgery-alone (0.3 as well tendency towards easier surgery, operative blood loss. Zoladex-treated had 0.016) shorter hospital stay pelvic pain abdominal pressure...
Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) enables in-vivo, real-time, imaging of tissues with a micron-scale resolution through fiber optic probe. CLE could be valuable tool for the detection and characterization suspicious (dysplastic) areas on uterine cervix in minimally invasive manner. This study evaluates technical feasibility safety cervix. The also aims to create preliminary iconography normal dysplastic squamous columnar cervical epithelium. In-vivo was performed nine patients scheduled...

Animal venoms represent a valuable source of bioactive peptides that can be derived into useful pharmacological tools, or even innovative drugs. In this way, the venom Dendroaspis angusticeps (DA), Eastern Green Mamba, has been intensively studied during recent years. It mainly contains hundreds large toxins from 6 to 9 kDa, each displaying several disulfide bridges. These are main target venom-based studies due their activities obtained by selectively targeting membrane receptors, such as...
