Pelvic Ultrasound for Predicting Endometrial Neoplasia in Premenopausal Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Although ultrasound is the first line imaging modality for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), there is a lack of consensus on its predictiveness for premenopausal endometrial pathology. This study aims to determine the predictiveness of pelvic ultrasound for endometrial neoplasia and cancer precursor lesions in premenopausal patients ...

Magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) therapy of uterine fibroids effectively reduces both bleeding and bulk symptoms-A prospective single-center 12-month follow-up study. [PDF]

Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand
Magnetic resonance‐guided high‐intensity focused ultrasound (MR‐HIFU) resulted in significant symptom reduction and improved quality of life in patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids and either bleeding or bulk symptoms. When successful, MR‐HIFU provides effective and rapid symptom relief for both symptom types.

Fibroid vascularisation as a predictor for uterine fibroid growth [PDF]

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2017
There is a large variation in fibroid growth such that fibroids may grow at vastly different rates and conversely may spontaneously regress. The ability to predict the growth of fibroids could help clinicians decide, with their patients, the need for treatment. For example, asymptomatic women with fibroids detected incidentally may require follow up if

Peritoneal Fluid‐Derived Small Extracellular Vesicle Proteins as Potential Biomarkers for Endometriosis: A Case–Control Study

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To demonstrate the presence of peritoneal fluid (PF)‐derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in endometriosis and control samples, to characterise their protein content and to define endometriosis‐specific biomarkers within the sEV proteome. Design Case–control experimental study. Setting Academic endometriosis centre.
