Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease with high burden and significant, multifaceted impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) sexual (SQoL).To explore which patient- disease-specific characteristics were independently associated SQoL.A literature search was carried out to identify an evidence-based or hypothesized effect SQoL. Subsequently, data HRQoL in women endometriosis (n = 224), collected between 2013 2018 prospective longitudinal Dutch cohort study performed 7...
In this state-of-the art review on hybrid atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, we briefly focus the pathophysiology of AF, rationale for approach, its technical aspects and efficacy safety outcomes after AF both from meta-analyses randomized control trial data. Also, performed a systematic search to provide provisional overview real-world ablation outcomes. Furthermore, give an insight into 'Maastricht approach', approach that allows us tailor procedure individual patient. Finally, reflect...
Abstract OBJECTIVES Our goal was to investigate sinus node dysfunction (SND) as a rare complication following surgical and catheter atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in patients with an aberrant artery (SNA). METHODS We used retrospective analysis of 3 SNA who underwent different AF procedures: 1 concomitant aortic valve replacement, thoracoscopic hybrid ablation. RESULTS All experienced temporary SND perioperatively. In the first patient, rhythm (SR) recovered by postoperative day 6. second...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality endometrial sample obtained by office aspiration when performed before or after saline contrast sonohysterography (SCSH) in women with postmenopausal bleeding and a thickened endometrium. To conduct complete, minimally invasive cost-effective diagnostic workup endometrium, ideally both sampling SCSH are performed. However, it not known whether tests affect each other one another.Women an thickness >4 mm were eligible. Women randomized into two...
