Correlation of Vitamin D3 (Calcitriol) Serum Concentrations with Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid in Women Undergoing in vitro Fertilisation/Intracytoplasmatic Sperm Injection
Conclusions: Our results suggest a model in which the sun exposure during summer months enables storage of D3 followed by a slow release as a major factor to maintain D3 levels throughout the year. Finally, our data indicate that B12 and folic acid uptake might be influenced by vitamin D receptor and D3, where D3 and the BMI appear to have an indirect relationship – via B12 and folic acid.Gynecol Obstet Invest (Source: Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation)

Long Non-Coding RNA ZEB1-Antisense 1 Affects Cell Migration and Invasion of Cervical Cancer by Regulating Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition via the p38MAPK Signaling Pathway
Conclusion: Inhibition of ZEB1-AS1 can block the p38MAPK signaling pathway, ultimately restricting the EMT and suppressing cell migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells.Gynecol Obstet Invest (Source: Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation)

Can We Improve Vaginal Tissue Healing Using Customized Devices: 3D Printing and Biomechanical Changes in Vaginal Tissue
Conclusions: This study quantified biomechanical changes in PVT with customized stretching by 3D printed VD using both OCE and MT. This work has implications for the mechanotransduction of vaginal wound healing and noninvasive assessment of vaginal diseases.Gynecol Obstet Invest (Source: Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation)

Colposcopy in Evaluating Bleeding During the Second and Third Trimesters: Short-Term and Postpartum Implications
Conclusions: Colposcopy diagnosed the origin of bleeding in 24 cases (13.7%). These findings support the use of colposcopy in evaluating vaginal bleeding of undetermined obstetric origin during pregnancy.Gynecol Obstet Invest (Source: Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation)

Brief Report on 3-Weekly Paclitaxel Carboplatin Efficacy in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Squamous Vulvar Cancer
In this brief report, we present our experience with 3-weekly paclitaxel-carboplatin chemotherapy for patients with vulvar cancer. Two patients with locally advanced disease had an impressive response allowing standard vulvar cancer surgery. One patient with metastatic disease had local stable disease though it was progressive in the lymph nodes. The available literature is sparse and retrospective. Based on promising results, however, a prospective multicenter study is mandatory in order to obtain full data in a larger series of patients in order to learn the benefits of neoadjuvant paclitaxel-carboplatin and compare the ...

Breast Cancer in Pregnancy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
We report on the maternal, foetal, short-term neonatal and placental histopathologic findings of a retrospective cohort of pregnant women with either pre-gestational (group 1) or GBC (group 2) from a tertiary-level maternity care centre. Of the 69 women identified over 12 years, there were 47 in group 1 and 22 in group 2. Demographics, stage of breast cancer at diagnosis were similar in the 2 groups. Women with GBC (group 2) were more likely to receive surgery and chemotherapy or surgery alone as compared to those in group 1. No women with GBC received radiation during pregnancy, but 2 received this treatment postpartum. W...

A Case Series on Platelet-Rich Plasma Revolutionary Management of Poor Responder Patients
Poor responders are described as those In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) patients who are failing to respond to controlled ovarian stimulation protocols. Extensive research has focused on crafting the optimal treatment. However, it appears that each approach fails to be established as effective or guaranteed towards successful management. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a novel, highly promising approach that has been successfully applied for an array of medical issues. In this case series, we present 3 poor responder patients with the common denominator of: failed IVF attempts, poor oocyte yield, and poor embryo quality. The opt...

Multidose Methotrexate Treatment of Ectopic Pregnancies with High initial β-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin: Can Success Be Predicted?
Conclusions: Multiple-dose Mtx treatment of ectopic pregnancies with high initial hCG is safe and effective. BMI, Mtx dose, number of Mtx injections and the decrement of βhCG levels were found as highly predictive for the success of the treatment.Gynecol Obstet Invest (Source: Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation)
