TLDR
Patients with suspected AWE should undergo preoperative cytological biopsy to exclude alternative diagnosis and wide surgical excision with margin of less than 1 cm could be accepted especially in case of weak abdominal wall.Abstract:
Background Over the past few decades, the rate of Cesarean Section (CS) delivery has been rising rapidly and the prevalence of CS-associated complications including Abdominal Wall Endometriomas (AWE) increases with each additional operation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, histopathological diagnostic role and surgical management of post-CS AWE through a retrospective case review. Methods We calculated the incidence of AWE and reviewed all the patients underwent surgical removal of Post-CS AWE during the period of 2012–2018 who were diagnosed, treated and followed up for 2–8 years at our tertiary hospital. Results Thirty women with AWE were included. The main symptom in 2/3 of cases was cyclic pain and 4 cases (13.3%) had no symptoms. The mean interval between prior CS and appearance of symptoms was 55.2 months and the mean size of the excised mass was 42 mm. Free surgical margin was less than 9 mm in 9 patients (30%) but no recurrence was recorded among all the studied patients. Pre-operative FNAC diagnosis was performed for only 3 patients (10%) which helped in excluding other potential pathologies. The clinical–pathological agreement value for detection of the nature of the abdominal wall mass was 93.4%. Conclusions Patients with suspected AWE should undergo preoperative cytological biopsy to exclude alternative diagnosis. Wide surgical excision with margin of less than 1 cm could be accepted especially in case of weak abdominal wall. More studies on the post-CS complications; risks, prevention, early detection and proper management should be encouraged.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the incidence of acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFRS) in COVID-19 patients and found that AIFRS is more prevalent in post-COVID-2019 patients than in non-coVID19 patients, especially in immunocompromised patients, diabetic, renal, and liver dysfunction patients as well as patients with risk factors of AifRS.

“Prevalence and associated factors of preoperative anxiety among obstetric patients who underwent cesarean section”: A cross-sectional study
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors assessed the prevalence and associated factors of preoperative anxiety among obstetric patients undergoing cesarean section, and found that fear of complications and fear of death result of operation were the most common factors responsible for pre-operative anxiety while few patients were anxious about financial loss and osmotic issues.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how important routine lacrimal sac wall biopsy is during endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery and found that most patients with epiphora have different causes of nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO).

TL;DR: The most commonly used medications were corticosteroids for 72.7% of patients with tapering dose giving a significant improvement with a recorded recurrence in one patient after 12 months from the first lesion as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A systematic review of ecologic studies published between 2000 and 2014 found a strong inverse relationship between CS rates and the mortality outcomes so that maternal, neonatal and infant mortality decrease as CS rates increase up to a certain threshold, which could be interpreted to mean that at CS rates below this threshold, socio-economic development may be driving the ecologic association betweenCS rates and mortality.

TL;DR: The genetic epigenetic theory is compatible with all observations on endometriosis and a polygenetic/polyepigenetic mechanism is proposed to explain the hereditary aspects, the predisposition, and the endometiosis-associated changes in theendometrium, immunology, and placentation.
