Case report of asymptomatic peritoneal leiomyomas.
Pezzuto A, Pontrelli G, Ceccaroni M, Ferrari B, Nardelli GB, Minelli L.
We would like to report the history of a fertile 45-year-old woman, referred for persistent metrorrhagia with sonographic evidence of multiple uterine myomas. An endometrial biopsy was performed and a normal endometrium was found from a histological point of view. In due time, she underwent laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy with preservation of the ovaries. During surgery, evidence of several intramural fibroids was recorded along with two large pedunculated myomas. After colpotomy, two further myomas of 5 and 3 cm were identified as completely detached from the uterus. They appeared pedunculated (with their vascularization) to the perirectal peritoneum (Fig. 1). Therefore the two fibroids were removed and extracted through the vagina after diathermy coagulation of their vascular stems. From a histological point of view these fibroids were identical to a normal leiomyoma, consisting of fascicles of smooth muscle cells without mitotic figures or nuclear pleomorphism

Abstract
We present a case report of laparoscopic management of a spontaneous hemoperitoneum in the second trimester of pregnancy. The patient was a 40-year-old woman at 15 weeks of gestation. At laparoscopic surgery, the hemoperitoneum was evacuated, and the right-sided uterine vessels were closed with diathermocoagulation. Every pregnant woman with severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and imminent hypovolemic shock should be carefully evaluated. After ruling out the most prevalent causes of hemoperitoneum, idiopathic spontaneous hemoperitoneum should be considered. Rapid diagnosis and aggressive fluid replacement together with prompt surgical intervention may be the only chance for a favorable outcome for both mother and child in the presence of such a rare complication. Moreover, in early stages of pregnancy, the laparoscopic approach should be considered but only in the hands of experienced laparoscopic surgeon

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe how a hydronephrosis can lead to a difficult differential diagnosis between endometriosis and retroperitoneal fibrosis.
SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sacro Cuore Don Calabria General Hospital, Negrar, Verona, Italy.
PATIENT(S): The history of a 34-year-old woman revealed the appearance of hydroureteronephrosis on the right side at the 35th week of pregnancy. She had an magnetic resonance imaging scan and was diagnosed with a spread retroperitoneal fibrosis. After 2 months, the patient reported the occurrence of pelvic pain, dyspareunia and dysmenorrhea. She was treated with corticosteroids and tamoxifen with no results.
INTERVENTION(S): Laparoscopic surgery. A complete retroperitoneal extirpation was done of an endometriotic nodule of the right broad ligament, near the right ureter (without stenosis).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Reduction of pelvic pain.
RESULT(S): She noticed an important decrease of pain.
CONCLUSION(S): The cause of hydronephrosis could be a physiologic hydroureteronephrosis, which is the most common cause of dilatation of the urinary tract in pregnancy. The pain symptoms of the patients seemed to be linked to endometriosis and not to retroperitoneal fibrosis. Magnetic resonance imaging sometimes does not enable a correct diagnosis between these two pathologies. Fertile women with suspected fibrosis should undergo a diagnostic laparoscopy by an expert surgeon in retroperitoneal surgery
Dietary Intake of Meat Cooking-Related Mutagens (HCAs) and Risk of Colorectal Adenoma and Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
No full textMuch evidence suggests that the positive association between meat intake and
colorectal adenoma (CRA) and cancer (CRC) risk is mediated by mutagenic compounds generated
during cooking at high temperature. A number of epidemiological studies have estimated the
effect of meat-related mutagens intake on CRC/CRA risk with contradictory and sometimes
inconsistent results. A literature search was carried out (PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus)
to identify articles reporting the relationship between the intake of meat-related mutagens
(2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]
quinoxaline (MeIQx), 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f] quinoxaline: DiMeIQx, benzo(a) pyrene
(B(a)P) and “meat derived mutagenic activity” (MDM)) and CRC/CRA risk. A random-effect model
was used to calculate the risk association. Thirty-nine studies were included in the systematic review
and meta-analysis. Polled CRA risk (15229 cases) was significantly increased by intake of PhIP
(OR = 1.20; 95% CI: 1.13,1.28; p < 0.001), MeIQx (OR = 1.14; 95% CI: 1.05,1.23; p = 0.001), DiMeIQx
(OR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.05,1.21; p = 0.001), B(a)P (OR = 1.10; 95% CI: 1.02,1.19; p = 0.017) and MDM
(OR = 1.17; 95% CI: 1.07,1.28; p = 0.001). A linear and curvilinear trend was observed in dose–response
meta-analysis between CRA risk in association with PhIP, MDM, and MeIQx. CRC risk (21,344 cases)
was increased by uptake of MeIQx (OR = 1.14; 95% CI: 1.04,1.25; p = 0.004), DiMeIQx (OR = 1.12;
95% CI: 1.02,1.22; p = 0.014) and MDM (OR = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.06,1.19; p < 0.001). No publication bias
could be detected, whereas heterogeneity was in some cases rather high. Mutagenic compounds
formed during cooking of meat at high temperature may be responsible of its carcinogenicit

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
