A literature search was performed to evaluate the relationship of cervical mucus monitoring (CMM) and the day-specific -pregnancy rate, in case of subfertility. A MEDLINE search revealed a total of 3331 articles. After excluding articles based on their relevance, 10 studies and were selected. The obs...

Postoperative hematoma is a rare but potentially life-threatening and unpredictable complication of thyroid surgery. We report two cases of very late postoperative bleeding occurring on the 13th postoperative day in patients treated with low-molecular-weight heparin and acenocoumarol. Patient 1 was readmitted with complaints of progressive anterior neck swelling and bleeding from the cervical w...

Minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA) of the uterine cervix, otherwise known as adenoma malignum, is a rare variant of cervical adenocarcinoma, which represents a diagnostic challenge in the field of gynecologic oncology, due to its benign-resembling histological characteristics. To achieve a better understanding of this disease, we present two cases of MDA: one case presented with profuse wat...

Parotidectomy is a common procedure usually done for a parotid mass necessitating a histological diagnosis. Operation is normally performed under General anesthesia with a nerve stimulator to facilitate facial nerve stimulation. We describe a new technique with reports of three cases, making total parotidectomy under local anesthesia possible. The ascending cervical branch of cervical plexus an...

Results The staging was done according to the FIGO classification: 14,89% of the patients were stage I, 46,80% stage II, 26,59% stage III and 11,70% of the patients were stage IV. The biopsy results showed that 85,10% of all patients had squamous cell carcinoma, 9,57% adenocarcinoma and 5,31% adenosquamous carcinoma. Multiparity was 86,17% among the cervical cancer patients and only 21,27% of t...

Minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA) of the uterine cervix is a rare disease. The rate of misdiagnosis is relatively high and there is no standard treatment. A 58-year-old woman presented with an abnormal Pap smear revealing atypical glandular cells and vaginal mucoid discharge. Cervical biopsy revealed cervicitis and an endometrium with atypical glands and increasing mitoses. A frozen sectio...

Gonorrhoea was not found to be a problem in antenatal patients. It was found in only one out of 625 women, thus confirming other British surveys which do not agree with the North American figures. Candidiasis is commoner than trichomoniasis (27.4 and 4.7 per cent. prevalence respectively) and culture of a high vaginal swab is more effective as a means of diagnosis than a cervical cytology smear...
