To compare surgical outcomes of laparoscopic myomectomy and robot-assisted myomectomy.Retrospective cohort study 115 consecutive 174 performed at Brigham Women's Hospital over a period 31 months. Uterine incisions were closed in multiple layers (running barbed suture was used for most cases the group). Surgical measured included operative time, estimated intraoperative blood loss, length hospital stay, perioperative complications. Odds ratios 95% confidence intervals calculated from...
Mucins secreted by the endocervical epithelium protect surfaces of reproductive tract from pathogen penetrance and modulate sperm entry into uterus. Three large gel-forming mucins, MUCs 5AC, 5B, 6, are expressed epithelium, as is MUC4, a relatively uncharacterized mucin for which only tandem repeat sequence has been reported. We sought to determine relative abundance each these gene transcripts relate their expression blood progesterone estradiol. Samples were obtained six subjects at...
The physical character and amount of mucus secreted by the endocervix changes dramatically during menstrual cycle to facilitate sperm migration at time midcycle ovulation. Mucins are highly glycosylated, high-molecular-weight proteins, which major structural components protective gel covering all wet-surfaced epithelia, including that endocervix. We have previously demonstrated endocervical epithelium expresses messenger RNA (mRNA) three large gel-forming mucins, designated MUC5AC, MUC5B,...
Anti-CD20 therapy is effective in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS). However, transient or sustained hypogammaglobulinemia predisposing to an increased risk of infectious diseases can follow treatment some patients. We analyzed the long-term effects anti-CD20 on immunological memory 27 frequently-relapsing/steroid-dependent INS pediatric patients after more than 4 years from first and at least 2 last infusion. Twenty-one children, never treated with under intense oral immunosuppression...
Wild birds may host and spread pathogens, integrating the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Particularly, Larus spp. have been described as responsible for many enteric diseases, primarily because their large populations at landfill sites. The aim this study was to examine role yellow-legged gulls a source enteropathogenic bacteria such Campylobacter spp., Salmonella Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli Yersinia with particular attention antibiotic-resistant strains. Enteropathogenic...
Introduction The clinical evolution of steroid-sensitive forms pediatric idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is highly heterogeneous following the standard treatment with prednisone. To date, no prognostic marker has been identified to predict severity disease course starting from first episode. Methods In this monocentric prospective cohort study we set up a reproducible and standardized flow cytometry panel using two sample tubes (one for B-cell one T-cell subsets) extensively...
Objective. To examine success of robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) measured by sustained symptom relief and fertility. Methods. This is a retrospective survey 426 women who underwent RALM for fibroids, relief, or infertility at three practice sites across the US. We examined rates recurrence pregnancy factors associated with these outcomes. Results. Overall, 70% reported being symptom-free, 62.9% free symptoms after years. At >3 years, 66.7% surgery to treat 80% were also...
This study was aimed at evaluating the prevalence of Campylobacter spp., Escherichia coli O157, Salmonella and related virulence factors (the cdt, stx, eae genes) in urban pigeons coastal area Campania region (southern Italy). To achieve this goal, cloacal swab samples from a total 1800 were collected subjected to culture methods, PCR, serotyping. The results present showed 48.3% (870/1800), 7.8% (141/1800), 0.9% (16/1800), for C. jejuni, E. S. Typhimurium, respectively. All jejuni isolates...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a current public health issue globally. To counter this phenomenon and prioritize AMR in the sector, World Health Organization (WHO) published list of bacterial pathogens against which development new antimicrobial agents urgently needed, designating ESKAPE (i.e., Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter species) with 'priority status'. Moreover, One High Level Expert...
