Pelvic Exenteration for Cervical Cancer: Oncological, Morbidity and Quality of Life Outcomes
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives One third of patients who undergo definitive chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer develop disease recurrence. Salvage surgery in the form of pelvic exenteration (PE) may offer improved survival and possibly cure in carefully selected patients, however robust data is scarce.

Understanding the Concept of Self‐Performed Ultrasound: A Scoping Review
Self‐performed ultrasound is an emerging technology that facilitates adept self‐scans in untrained hands. Inspired by self‐performed imaging in space for more prompt diagnosis and therapy, it has the potential to accurately monitor chronic conditions remotely. However, the lack of supervision and physical restraints can hinder its usability.

Transvaginal Strain Elastography Methodology in Deep Endometriosis
Objectives Transvaginal strain elastography (SE) has emerged as a complementary technique to transvaginal ultrasound for deep endometriosis (DE) evaluation by exploiting tissue stiffness between lesions and surrounding structures. However, its clinical adoption remains limited by marked methodological heterogeneity across studies.

In a series of 251 asymptomatic attendees at a genitourinary medicine clinic, Mycoplasma genitalium was detected in 4.38% (11/251). Positivity was concentrated in those aged ≤ 30 years (7.14%; 10/140), supporting targeted screening, at least in younger clinic populations.

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.
