TL;DR: Ex vivo images of animal tissue and human fallopian tube using the new articulating device are presented along with in vivo imaging results using the rigid confocal microlaparoscope system, designed to image the epithelial surface of the ovary in vivo.

TL;DR: Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis is a rare complication of ovarian tumors that is potentially reversible with prompt surgical management of the primary tumor, plasmapheresis, and chemotherapy.

TL;DR: This work developed a procedure to collect fallopian tube cells directly from freshly received surgical specimens, which has shown excellent correlation with histological findings and lays a foundation for the future utility of minimally invasive laparoscopic screening in high-risk patient populations.

TL;DR: The first to show that human breast tissues exhibit strong vigilin expression in normal breast epithelium is shown, and titration of endogenous vigilin and other proteins which bind the 69 nt element, by exogenously introduced CSF-1R mRNA 3′UTR containing the pyrimidine-rich sequence, increases the adhesion, motility, and invasion of breast cancer cells.

TL;DR: In this article, the peritoneal fluid and CA 125 values were correlated with preoperative disease status, intraoperative findings, and preoperative plasma CA 125 levels to determine their value in assessing occult disease.
