8Spheres conformal microspheres as embolic agents for symptomatic uterine leiomyoma therapy in uterine artery embolization (UAE): A prospective clinical trial
All patients underwent menstrual bleeding scores, the symptom severity domain of the Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality of Life questionnaire scores (with lower scores indicating mild symptoms), pelvic contrast-enhanced magnetic...
Conclusion: In conclusion, 8Spheres conformal microspheres are ideal embolic agents for UAE. This study showed that 8Spheres microsphere embolization for symptomatic uterine leiomyoma can effectively relieve heavy menstrual bleeding, improve the symptom severity of patients, reduce the volume of leiomyoma, and have no significant effect on...
Artificial intelligence-aided method to detect uterine fibroids in ultrasound images: a retrospective study - Scientific Reports
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-26771-1
We explored a new artificial intelligence-assisted method to assist junior ultrasonographers in improving the diagnostic performance of uterine fibroids and further compared it with senior ultrasonographers to confirm the effectiveness...
Discussion: To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to evaluate a DL strategy as an aid for the diagnosis of uterine fibroids. In recent years, DL algorithms have been widely used in the field of medical image analysis, and DCNN–based image detection methods have been commonly applied for classifying and identifying lesions. The...
Fertility-preserving management of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: A case report and review of the literature
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221491122300005X
Molecular diagnostics have broadened the categorization of mesenchymal tumors of the uterus. Knowledge of the increasing heterogeneity of uterine neop...
Discussion: In summary, fertility-preserving surgery for the treatment of uterine inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors appears reasonable, particularly in the absence of aggressive pathological features and where the tumor is confined to the uterus. As recurrences may present at a time remote from index surgery, long-term imaging follow-up...
Conclusion: Fibroid in pregnancy can be associated with abortion in early gestation and PROM in term gestation and PPH in the postpartum period. There is also an increased risk of malpresentation. The rate of cesarean section is high in pregnant patients with uterine fibroid. Thus, uterine fibroids in pregnancy make a normal pregnancy into a...
Conclusion: It is important to perform operations on associated myoma that do not further lengthen the surgical time, that does not worsen the bleeding, and that do not increase the risk of complications. Thermal ablation with microwaves is simple to perform, takes a very short time, and does not involve bleeding, if not minimal.
