The relationship between muscle sympathetic nerve activity and systemic hemodynamics is altered in women with uterine fibroids - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36117415/
Women with uterine fibroids (UF), benign tumors of the myometrium, have a higher prevalence of hypertension than women without UF. The cause for this relationship is unclear. Muscle sympathetic nerve...
Discussion: Our report of differing relationships between MSNA, CO, and TPR in women with UF, suggests that blood pressure regulation may be different in normotensive women with UF in comparison to women without UF.
Is serum estradiol really increased in patients with Klinefeler syndrome? Results from a meta-analysis study

Unit of Endocrinology, Department of Biomedical, Metabolic, and Neural Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Azienda USL of Modena, Modena, Italy. Background and aim: KS has been classically described...
Discussion: KS has been classically described as characterized by hyperestrogenism and elevated serum E2 together with increased gonadotropins and low-to-normal serum testosterone (T)...Serum E2 is not increased in KS and is significantly lower than in HS in this meta-analysis.

Discussion: Mild uterine prolapse is common, thus we expect high numbers in both the hysterectomy and the reference group. The problem, however, is that women are only diagnosed if they are seen by a gynecologist at a hospital.
Transcriptome and DNA methylome analyses reveal underlying mechanisms for the racial disparity in uterine fibroids
Source : https://insight.jci.org/articles/view/160274
Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) affect Black women disproportionately in terms of prevalence, incidence, and severity of symptoms. The causes of this racial disparity are essentially unknown. We hypothesized that myometria of...
Discussion: The findings suggest a potential molecular explanation for racial disparities in uterine fibroid disease. The authors also note the importance of including myometrial tissue as well as fibroid tissue in studies examining the causes of and contributors to fibroids.
Same-day Hospital Discharge after Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy in a Gynecologic Oncology Practice: Feasibility, Safety, Predictors of Admission, and Adverse Outcomes
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1553465022002011
(1) Determine the feasibility and safety of same-day hospital discharge (SDHD) after minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) in a gynecologic oncology practice and (2) detail predictors of immediate postoperative hospital admission...
Conclusion: SDHD is feasible and safe after MIH within a representative gynecologic oncology practice...By identifying patients at high risk of postoperative adverse events, we can direct SDHD selection in the absence of standardized institutional and/or national consensus guidelines and identify patients for prehabilitation and increased...
