Inhibitory nerves in the superior colliculus mediate selection of spatiallydirected moves

In looking toward the passage and implementation of future education reform, we call upon policy-makers to consider more deeply the design of policies to ensure they support rural and non-rural colleges alike. © The Author(s) 2019.INTRODUCTION Tubal patency is one of the mandatory and necessary conditions to be granted in order to guarantee a good pregnancy rate. Numerous studies have been conducted to compare the various testing techniques for tubal evaluation in order to optimize the diagnostic-therapeutic process. Aim of this review is to clarify if hysterosalpingo-foam sonography could be considered as a useful tool not only in the diagnostic procedure, but also in treatment of infertility. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We performed a comprehensive search of relevant studies from January 2010 to December 2019 to ensure all possible studies were captured. A systematic search of PubMed databases was conducted. Ro-3306 supplier EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Over the years, increasingly less invasive approaches have been used to test tubal patency. For many years Laparoscopic with chromopertubation (DLS) has been considered the reference standard, then less invasive procedures have been introduced, such as hysterosalpingography (HSG). Sonohysterosalpingography (HyCoSy) represents a non-invasive procedure with accuracy comparable to HSG. Several studies have been made on different contrast agents that could be used on this procedure and recent studies considered hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy) procedure as a new technique used for the study of tubal function performed on unfertile women. Nowadays, HyFoSy is largely used in the study of tubal patency, but it is not completely clear the role of this technique as treatment of imperviousness of Fallopian tubes, leading to an increase in pregnancy rate after its use. CONCLUSIONS As described in the literature for other procedures, similarly with HyFoSy, the tubal flushing improves the chance of an embryo implanting and establishing a spontaneous pregnancy. More prospective studies should be taken to better analyze the singular maternal risk fators, hoping to offer more complete indications to recommend HyFoSy.INTRODUCTION Sjogren syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that usually affects women more than man with a 91 ratio. It leads to a progressive functional impairment of exocrine glands. Tipically, its clinical presentation is characterized by xerostomia and xerophtalmia, but it can also affect, among others, female genital apparatus, causing vaginal dryness and dyspareunia. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for articles in English indexed from January 1995 to November 2019 to assess evidence on the impact of primary Sjogren's syndrome on female sexual function. Our attention was directed specifically on the quality of sexual life of patients affected by primary SS. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS SS is associated with sexual dysfunction and it can significantly worsen patient's quality of life. CONCLUSIONS The genital disorders secondary to SS can strongly alter the quality of female life both physically and psychologically as they alter sexuality. However, the observation of certain behavioral norms and the use of appropriate local substances can alleviate the symptoms and effectively contribute to reducing the discomfort.INTRODUCTION Endometriosis is a chronic hormone-dependent disease affecting approximately 25-30% of women in the third and fourth decade. Despite its frequency, it is often detected late. The aim of this overview article was to present a standardized treatment algorithm for an interdisciplinary endometriosis consultation considering conservative and surgical approaches. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Despite the frequency of endometriosis and a high number of publications dealing with the disease there is a lack of evidence in literature for standardized treatment algorithms allowing a rational diagnostic and therapeutic approach. In May 2019 we did a literature search in Medline. While finding 26702 publications under the term "endometriosis" there was only one publication for the search term "endometriosis consultation treatment algorithm." After screening the abstracts 144 publications in English, French or German language had been assessed as relevant for the diagnosis and therapy of endometriosis (143 overview arts patients, even at other centers.INTRODUCTION Hysteroscopic septoplasty is a safe and routinely used procedure for the treatment of septate uterus. The aim of this paper is to determine which hysteroscopic technique (scissors, monopolar/bipolar diathermy) is superior for post-treatment reproductive outcome. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Two different hysteroscopic septoplasty instruments (scissors and monopolar/bipolar diathermy) were compared, focusing on the pregnancy outcome. In addition, all published studies and reviews regarding pregnancy outcomes that occurred after operative hysteroscopy using different techniques (bipolar, monopolar electrodes, resectoscope, VERSAPOINT™ [Ethicon LLC] and scissors) were reviewed. Dichotomous analysis, with use of the Mantel-Haenszel method, was performed for all five outcomes, with fixed effect analysis model and odds ratio (OR) as the effect measure. Analysis details included totals and subtotals with 95% confidence interval. The Multinomial CI package for the R statistical language was also used. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Out of 26 full-text articles available in the literature, two studies were finally selected as eligible, with a total number of 125 patients. Pregnancy rate for scissors was 88.8% and for resectoscope was 75.6% (OR 2.13, I2=29%; P=0.23). Delivery rate for scissors was 78.1% and for resectoscope was 75.0% (OR 1.29, I2=0%; P=0.53). Miscarriage rate for scissors was 21.8% and for resectoscope was 27.1% (OR 0.78, I2=0%; P=0.53). Preterm delivery rate for scissors was 6.2% and for resectoscope was 6.7% (OR 0.85, I2=0%; P=0.94). Term delivery rate for scissors was 71.8% and for resectoscope was 66.1% (OR 1.32, I2=0%; P=0.47). The lack of evidence in literature regarding the potential influence in the reproductive outcome of the instrument used when performing a hysteroscopy to treat a septate uterus became radically clear. CONCLUSIONS No statistically significant differences were observed in reproductive outcomes between women treated for septate uterus using resectoscope or scissors.
