Clinical signs and diagnosis of fibroids from adolescence to menopause
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38729337/
The aim of this review was to provide an updated assessment of the present diagnostic tools and clinical symptoms and signs to evaluate uterine fibroids (UFs) on the basis of...
Uterine fibroids (UFs) are common and often asymptomatic. TVUS is the initial diagnostic choice for its sensitivity and accessibility. MRI complements TVUS, especially in complex cases. Emerging technologies like SIS, elastography, CEUS, and AI show promise in improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency for UFs.

Gynotoxic Effects of Chemotherapy and Potential Protective Mechanisms
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38927992/
Chemotherapy is one of the leading cancer treatments. Unfortunately, its use can contribute to several side effects, including gynotoxic effects in women. Ovarian reserve suppression and estrogen deficiency result in...
Women of reproductive age undergoing chemotherapy are at risk of irreversible ovarian failure. Current methods of determining the ovarian reserve do not accurately predict the future reproductive potential of patients undergoing chemotherapy. Among the most ovotoxic cytostatics are alkylating agents, mainly cyclophosphamide, but the adverse...

Uterine Tumor Resembling Ovarian Sex-Cord Tumor (UTROSCT): A Rare Polyphenotypic Neoplasm
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38928686/
Uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex-cord tumor (UTROSCT) is a rare form of uterine mesenchymal neoplasm. Although UTROSCT generally exhibits benign behavior with a favorable prognosis, this neoplasm is nevertheless classified...
Through our review of the literature, we have determined that UTROSCT is a rare neoplasm. In our opinion, its pathological diagnosis can be difficult for many reasons. First, the neoplasm is rare, and often the diagnosis must be made by an expert in the field. In addition, due to the many histological features that the lesion can show, many...

Gamified Exercise with Kinect: Can Kinect-Based Virtual Reality Training Improve Physical Performance and Quality of Life in Postmenopausal Women with Osteopenia? A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11175348/
Background: Osteopenia, caused by estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women (PMW), lowers Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and increases bone fragility. It affects about half of older women's social and physical health....
Both groups adhered to the SIOMMMS guidelines, participated in daily outdoor walking for 30 min, and demonstrated improved physical performance and quality of life. However, the experimental group, who received Kinect-based VRT in addition to walking, exhibited more substantial enhancements compared to the control group. The findings suggest...
