“…In this series, we found complications in 44.9% of patients analysed: this value is at the upper limit of the range reported in literature (22-50%) [1][2][3][4][5][6][12][13][14][15], but we reported all complications, even if mild or showing for a short time.…”

“…Historically utilized most frequently in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies [21][22][23], BRT is now also an established therapeutic modality in the management of residual, recurrent and metastatic tumors of the head and neck region [15,16,[24][25][26][27][28][29]. EBRT of the sinonasal tract and nasopharynx may result in both acute and late toxicities due to secondary radiation exposure to the optic chiasm, optic nerve, orbit and brainstem, especially in the setting of prior skull base irradiation.…”

A 70-year old male with poor cognitive function presented to an outside hospital in November 2010 with recurrent left-sided epistaxis. This patient had a history significant for anaplastic oligoastrocytoma Patel KR, et al., J Otolaryng Head Neck Surg 2017, 3: Radiation-induced tumors of the skull base pose a significant treatment challenge. Temporary Brachytherapy (BRT) with Cesium-131(Cs-131) seeds is a novel therapeutic technique that holds significant potential for the achievement of local tumor control in patients with limited therapeutic options. MethodsWe report a 70 year-old patient with a history of anaplastic oligoastrocytoma who presented with recurrent left-sided epistaxis. Imaging and biopsy results revealed a high-grade carcinosarcoma of the paranasal sinuses and skull base. The Sinonasal Carcinosarcoma (SN-CS) was resected and the residual micro tumor was treated with Cs-131 BRT seeds attached to a vicryl mesh, which was removed 6 weeks later. ResultsFollow-up examination demonstrated no evidence of recurrence or metastasis for 9 months and the patient had an overall survival of 15 months after treatment with Cs-131 BRT. ConclusionTemporary BRT with Cs-131 seeds may play a pivotal role in achieving local tumor control and palliation in patients with aggressive skull base tumors who are precluded from receiving more extensive forms of radiotherapy.

“…Histology is considered to be the criterion standard for diagnosing CE. Traditional criteria for hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-stained slides are the infiltration of leukocyte and plasma cells in the endometrial stroma (151)(152)(153). Recently, these criteria were complemented by the description of other more subtle changes, such as the presence of glandular infiltration and intraluminal exudate, as well as the formation of granulomas (146,154).…”

The authors review aberrations of uterine anatomy and physiology affecting pregnancy outcomes with IVF. In the case of endometriosis and hydrosalpinx, pathologies outside of the uterus alter the uterine endometrium. In the case of endometriosis, Dominique de Ziegler outlines the numerous changes in gene expression and the central role of inflammation in causing progesterone resistance. With endometriosis, the absence of ovarian function inherent in deferred transfer, with or without a more lengthy suppression of ovarian function, appears to be sufficient to restore normal function of eutopic endometrium. Because laparoscopy is no longer routine in the evaluation of infertility, unrecognized endometriosis then becomes irrelevant in the context of assisted reproductive technology. With hydrosalpinx and submucus myomas, the implantation factor HOXA-10 is suppressed in the endometrium and, with myomas, even in areas of the uterus not directly affected. Daniela Galliano reviews various uterine pathologies, the most enigmatic being adenomyosis, where the endometrium also manifests many of the changes seen in endometriosis and deferred transfer with extended suppression appears to provide the best outcomes. Ettore Cicinelli's group has extensively studied the diagnosis and treatment of endometritis, and although more definitive diagnosis and care of this covert disorder may await techniques such as sequencing of the endometrial microbiome, it undoubtedly is an important factor in implantation failure, deserving our attention and treatment.
