Ovarian endometriosis: from pathogenesis to surgical treatment
No full textPURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review analyzes the literature on ovarian endometrioma,
examining the controversies on pathogenesis, malignant transformation and
surgical therapy. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent literature reflects the necessity of
clearly defining the ethiologic and pathologic factors that determine the origin
of ovarian endometriosis and explain the increase in the condition with the
prospect of developing effective prevention therapy. The possibility that
ovarian endometriomas undergo malignant transformation is widely reported in the
literature. Recent studies underline the importance of detecting histological
differences in endometriosis (hyperplasia and atypia) and several studies of
molecular biology support the theory of genetic alterations interfering with
malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis. SUMMARY: The surgical
approach must take into account all this information and, when the therapy is
conservative, complete excision of the disease must be laparoscopically
performed without affecting the healthy ovarian tissue

Accelerations in greater than intra-partum greater than cardiotocographic recording I. Correlation with perinatal outcome
No full textThe authors examine 1994 cardiotocographic recordings during labour, equivalent to 89% of all deliveries of the same period. They evaluate the tendency of the acceleratory activity in the single recordings during their whole lenght, comparing it with the perinatal outcome, evaluated by the perinatal mortality and the Apgar score at 1' and 5'. They conclude that the presence of accelerations could be considered, when present in a certain degree, a sure index of foetal well-being or of good possibility of foetal reactions to hypoxic stimuli, allowing a more cautious evaluation of the cardiotocogram
