Spontaneous Abdominal Wall Endometriosis: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Excision and Repair
A 35 year-old gravida 2 para 1 female with a pacemaker in situ due to congenital cardiac heart disease and biopsy-proven stage IV endometriosis presented with chronic pain and a “bulge” in the right lower quadrant. Per the operative report of her initial surgery, an adherent, firm nodule was palpable in the right lower anterior abdominal wall and left in situ because etiology and extent of the disease was unclear. Physical exam revealed a palpable 4cm abdominal wall mas s. Her pacemaker was MRI-incompatible, so abdominal ultrasound and CT abdomen/pelvis were obtained but revealed inconclusive findings.

Probe motion during mid-trimester fetal anomaly scan in the clinical setting: A prospective observational study
Ultrasound is a dynamic, real-time imaging modality widely used for pregnancy screening, but it can be challenging depending on operator ’s level, fetal presentation, and patient body mass index (BMI). In accordance with the latest International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) guidelines, routine mid-trimester fetal ultrasound examination includes an evaluation of the following: cardiac activity, number o f fetuses, fetal size, basic fetal anatomy including head, face, heart, abdomen, limbs (skeletal), umbilical cord, genitalia, placental appearance and location, and amniotic fluid volume [1]. ...

Recurrent postmenopausal bleeding: Pathological findings and  predictive factors. A multicenter, prospective, observational study
ConclusionsRecurrent PMB is common in women with a previous episode of PMB. Compared to patients with a single episode of PMB, patients with recurrent PMB and benign histological outcomes at accurate workup during their first episode were less often diagnosed with malignancies and more frequently with benign polyps. Benign polyps at first PMB are predictive for recurrent PMB, but not for a higher risk of (pre)malignancy. (Source: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica)
