Major differences in sexual functioning are unlikely. Unhappiness related to not using DMPA-IM, the most popular method in our setting, may have skewed results.

The primary aim was to compare the overall survival of women with unsuspected uterine malignancy (UUM) diagnosed after laparotomic versus laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign gynecologic diseases. The secondary aim was to evaluate the incidence of UUM.

A national health insurance database was analyzed from 2006 to 2010.

From the database (24million women annually), 157232 women who received hysterectomy for benign diseases were extracted. These women were divided into a laparotomic group (n=103631) and a laparoscopic group (n=53601). The overall incidences of UUM, unsuspected endometrial cancer, and unsuspected uterine malignancy other than endometrial cancer (UUMOEC) were 0.66%, 0.46%, and 0.19%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression analysis showed that the laparoscopic group was associated with more favorable overall survival than the laparotomic group, especially in UUMOEC (P<0.001).

In women with UUM diagnosed after hysterectomy for benign diseases, overall survival up to 7years favors laparoscopy over laparotomy, especially in UUMOEC and the incidence of UUM is relatively low. However, considering the devastating effect of intraperitoneal dissemination of UUM, surgeons should fully explain this issue to patients preoperatively and try to avoid intraperitoneal spread of tumor cells intraoperatively.

Children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) generally show an alteration in their fat and soft tissue mass contents. These alterations may influence disease severity and increase the risk of post-operative complications.

This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of patients with IBD, diagnosed and followed up between 2013 and 2018, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, who had dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans for bone density evaluation. Obesity was defined based on fat mass index (FMI) and myopenia based on appendicular skeletal muscle mass (SMMa).

This study incorporated 95 child and adolescent patients (52% female) with IBD 59 with Crohn's disease (CD) and 36 with ulcerative colitis (UC), mean age 11.8±3.3years and mean duration of illness 1.8±1.9years. The most common disease phenotype and behaviour for CD patients were ileocolonic (57.6%) and non-stricturing and non-penetrating (76.3%). Of UC patients, 75% had extensive disease (pancolitis). Body composition profile in the total IBD cohort was classified as normal in 49.5%, obese in 26.3%, myopenic in 23.2% and myopenic-obese in 1.1%. The use of biological therapy was identified as a negative predictor for both obesity (OR=7.0, 95% CI 1.3-37.9, P=.02) and myopenia (OR=0.11, 95% CI0.02-0.47, P=.003), and female gender was shown to predict myopenia (OR=3.5, 95% CI 1.0-11.8, P=.04).

Saudi Arabian children with IBD showed comparable body composition profiles to adult patients with IBD. Biological therapy was associated with a decreased incidence of both obesity and myopenia, and female gender was found to predict myopenia.

To study maternal and intrapartum factors associated with adverse neonatal outcome in deliveries complicated by meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF).

A retrospective cohort study of all women with singleton gestations undergoing trial of labor with MSAF during 2011-2020. Deliveries with adverse neonatal outcome were compared with deliveries without.

Overall, 11329 were included; 376 (3.3%) neonates were diagnosed with adverse neonatal outcomes. Multivariable regression analysis underlined the following factors as independently associated with composite adverse neonatal outcome pregestational diabetes (odds ratio [OR] 3.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09-9.43, P=0.031), polyhydramnios (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.33-3.44, P=0.002), fever (OR 2.52, 95% CI 1.67-3.80, P<0.001), and amnioinfusion (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.24-2.2438, P=0.003). When 0, 1, 2, and 3 of the independent risk factors identified were present, the rates of adverse neonatal outcome were 2.9%, 5.5%, 10.0%, and 100%, respectively.

The current study's results suggest that special attention should be payed to deliveries complicated by MSAF and with any of the following factors-polyhydramnios, intrapartum fever, amnioinfusion, and pregestational diabetes.

Dermatophytoses have gained interest worldwide due to the increased resistance to terbinafine and azoles and difficulty in management of these refractory diseases.

In this study, we identified and analysed Trichophyton mentagrophytes clinical isolates obtained from humans with infections of animal origin.

We used quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to examine the transcriptional modulation of three MDR genes (PDR1, MDR2 and MDR4) and analysed squalene epoxidase (SQLE) gene sequences from multidrug-resistant Trichophyton mentagrophytes isolates.

The expression profile revealed a 2- to 12-fold increase in mRNA accumulation in the presence of any of the antifungals, compared to cells incubated without drugs. A statistically significant relationship between the isolates exposed to itraconazole and increased expression of the tested genes was revealed. Substantially lower transcription levels were noted for cells exposed to luliconazole, that is, a third-generation azole. Additionally, in the case of 50% of terbinafine-resistant strains, Leu397Phe substitution in the SQLE gene was detected.
