Hysteroscopy for treating subfertility associated with suspected major uterine cavity abnormalities
No full text<p>Background</p><p>Observational studies suggest higher pregnancy rates after the hysteroscopic removal of endometrial polyps, submucous fibroids, uterine septum or intrauterine adhesions, which are detectable in 10% to 15% of women seeking treatment for subfertility.</p><p>Objectives</p><p>To assess the effects of the hysteroscopic removal of endometrial polyps, submucous fibroids, uterine septum or intrauterine adhesions suspected on ultrasound, hysterosalpingography, diagnostic hysteroscopy or any combination of these methods in women with otherwise unexplained subfertility or prior to intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).</p><p>Search methods</p><p>We searched the Cochrane Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Specialised Register (6 August 2012), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (T he Cochrane Library 2012, Issue 7), MEDLINE (1950 to October 2012), EMBASE (1974 to October 2012), CINAHL (from inception to October 2012) and other electronic sources of trials including trial registers, sources of unpublished literature and reference lists. We handsearched the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) conference abstracts and proceedings (from January 2008 to October 2012) and we contacted experts in the field.</p><p>Selection criteria</p><p>Randomised comparisons between operative hysteroscopy versus control in women with otherwise unexplained subfertility or undergoing IUI, IVF or ICSI and suspected major uterine cavity abnormalities diagnosed by ultrasonography, saline infusion/gel instillation sonography, hysterosalpingography, diagnostic hysteroscopy or any combination of these methods. Primary outcomes were live birth and hysteroscopy complications. Secondary outcomes were pregnancy and miscarriage.</p><p>Data collection and analysis</p><p>Two authors independently assessed studies for inclusion and risk of bias, and extracted data. We contacted study authors for additional information.</p><p>Main results</p><p>Two studies met the inclusion criteria and neither reported the primary outcomes of live birth and complications from the procedure. In women with otherwise unexplained subfertility and submucous fibroids, there is no evidence of benefit with hysteroscopic myomectomy compared to regular fertility-oriented intercourse during 12 months for clinical pregnancy (odds ratio (OR) 2.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.97 to 6.2, P = 0.06, 94 women) and miscarriage (OR 1.5, 95% CI 0.47 to 5.0, P = 0.47, 94 women) (very low-quality evidence). The hysteroscopic removal of polyps prior to IUI increases the odds of clinical pregnancy (experimental event rate (EER) 63%) compared to diagnostic hysteroscopy and polyp biopsy only (control event rate (CER) 28%) (OR 4.4, 95% CI 2.5 to 8.0, P <0.00001, 204 women, high-quality evidence).</p><p>Authors' conclusions</p><p>Hysteroscopic myomectomy might increase the odds of clinical pregnancy in women with unexplained subfertility and submucous fibroids, but the evidence is at present not conclusive. The hysteroscopic removal of endometrial polyps suspected on ultrasound in women prior to IUI might increase the clinical pregnancy rate. More randomised studies are needed to substantiate the effectiveness of the hysteroscopic removal of suspected endometrial polyps, submucous fibroids, uterine septum or intrauterine adhesions in women with unexplained subfertility or prior to IUI, IVF or ICSI.</p>
Radical Antiphilosophy
No full textTaking up Alain Badiou's project of systematizing the invariant traits of antiphilosophy as based on a radical "act" capable of discrediting and outstripping the philosopher's relation to truth, the author discusses the cases of Nietzsche's archi-political act of "breaking the history of the world into two halves" and Wittgenstein's archi-aesthetic act of "showing" that which one cannot speak of but which alone matters for the sense of the world. The difference between the antiphilosophical "act" and the philosophical treatment of an "event" is best understood in terms of "suture" and "disaster," two concepts which in the process must be thoroughly revised. Finally, the author discusses the extent to which Badiou's own philosophy falls prey to, and even thrives on, an irresistible antiphilosophical element of its own
Preclinical stem cell therapy in fetuses with myelomeningocele: A systematic review and meta-analysis
No full textObjective: We performed a systematic review to summarize the efficacy and safety of in utero stem cells application in preclinical models with myelomeningocele (MMC). Methods: The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42019160399). We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and CENTRAL for publications articles on stem cell therapy in animal fetuses with MMC until May 2020. Publication quality was assessed by the SYRCLE's tool. Meta-analyses were pooled if studies were done in the same animal model providing similar type of stem cell used and outcome measurements. Narrative synthesis was performed for studies that could not be pooled. Results: Nineteen and seven studies were included in narrative and quantitative syntheses, respectively. Most used mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and primarily involved ovine and rodent models. Both intra-amniotic injection of allogeneic amniotic fluid (AF)-MSCs in rat MMC model and the application of human placental (P)-MSCs to the spinal cord during fetal surgery in MMC ovine model did not compromise fetal survival rates at term (rat model, relative risk [RR] 1.03, 95% CI 0.92–1.16; ovine model, RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.78–1.13). A single intra-amniotic injection of allogeneic AF-MSCs into rat MMC model was associated with a higher rate of complete defect coverage compared to saline injection (RR 16.35, 95% CI 3.27–81.79). The incorporation of human P-MSCs as a therapeutic adjunct to fetal surgery in the ovine MMC model significantly improved sheep locomotor rating scale after birth (mean difference 5.18, 95% CI 3.36–6.99). Conclusions: Stem cell application during prenatal period in preclinical animal models is safe and effective
THE PRAXIS OF QUOTATION IN TRANSITIONAL LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE
No full textThe Praxis of Quotation in Transitional Latin American Literatures traces Latin American literary pragmatism through the figure of quotation. My first chapter analyzes Costa Rican author Yolanda Oreamuno’s novel, La ruta de su evasión, and its characterization of the choteador(a), a person who practices the art of choteo. I conclude that Oreamuno defines the latter, a form of Central American wit that hinges upon quotation, differently from her Caribbean counterparts, such as Jorge Mañach, as a politically sterilizing discourse and a form of collusion with an authoritarian regime. In my second chapter, I study Mexican author Rosario Castellanos’s Oficio de tinieblas, and its appropriation of historiography to reconstruct the character of the gossip. I propose that Castellanos democratizes this role, revealing this character to be potentially any member of civil society, while she represents the state of political emergency as one in which gossip is suspended. In Chapter three, I turn to Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa’s El Paraíso en la otra esquina, and its depiction of the revolutionary feminist Flora Tristán. The novel transcribes, translates and adapts selections from Tristán’s vast corpus of writing, and attributes to Tristán feelings of shame, guilt and also pride about these writings. I question whether quotation functions as a form of narrative voice. Ultimately, I argue that the novel theorizes a conflict between quotation’s potential to solicit either empathy or political cooperation with its quoted subject, offering the latter as the valid choice. Finally, my fourth chapter turns to the novel, Dora, in which Peruvian author José B. Adolph transcribes the memoirs of Dora Mayer de Zulen. These are memoirs in which Mayer analyzes the literature of Pedro Zulen, in order to prove Zulen’s status as a messiah of the indigenist movement, and also to prove that she and Zulen were married in the eyes of God. I argue that the novel stages a confrontation between the hermeneutic strategy of Mayer and the philosophy of Zulen; ultimately embracing Zulen’s perspective that the possibility of a correct reading depends upon the political saliency of the message that one reads for. In each chapter, I describe the conditions for the possibility of the use of quotation, the existence of the original text as a material support, and the author’s ability to recur to that text
