Clinical and pathological comparisons of adnexal torsion between pregnant and non‐pregnant women

Abstract

Aim:We evaluated and compared the clinical and pathological differences between pregnant and nonpregnant women with adnexal torsion. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 239 women with adnexal torsion from January 2006 to December 2015 in a tertiary hospital. The clinical and pathological differences between pregnant and non-pregnant women who underwent surgery for adnexal torsion were analyzed. Results: The most common pathologies were corpus luteum cysts in pregnant women and dermoid cysts in non-pregnant women. Eight of the pregnant women (24.2%) had a history of exogenous ovarian stimulation, and their episodes were only caused by corpus luteum or a stimulated ovary. In pregnant women, 72.7% of the torsion occurred before the 14th week of gestation. Conclusion: The common pathology causing adnexal torsion was different, depending on the pregnancy status. Exogenous ovarian stimulation increases the risk of adnexal torsion, and the majority of episodes occurred in the first trimester in pregnant women.

Venous Thromboembolism and Ovarian Torsion-detorsion in Pregnancy: a Case Report and Systematic Review of the Literature 

“…About 10-22% of adnexal torsion occurred during pregnancy [6,7]. It is more likely to occur between the 10th week and the 17th week of gestation with an ovarian mass larger than 4 cm in diameter [8].…”

Read disturb-aware write scheduling and data reallocation in SSDs

“…That is to say, for avoiding data corruption by read disturbs, a process of read reclaim (RR) is expected in partially read-disturbed blocks [19]. Specifically, a process of read reclaim migrates all valid data in the disturbed block to a free block, and then reclaims the disturbed one [23].…”

“…read error rate). Furthermore, in order to decrease the overhead of data reallocation, we carry out data migration in the process of read reclaim [23,24]. Figure 3 illustrates the workflow of the proposed read reclaim approach, for the purpose of unifying read counts among data blocks.…”

Torsión anexial en una gestación espontánea. A propósito de un caso

“…Por este motivo, aun en ausencia de una confirmación diagnóstica, el abordaje quirúrgico precoz, cuando exista alta sospecha clínica, resulta fundamental para prevenir complicaciones y preservar el embarazo (8). Siempre que sea posible, es preferible la cirugía laparoscópica, cuyas indicaciones y beneficios son equivalentes a las de las pacientes no gestantes (3). En comparación con la laparotomía, los procedimientos laparoscópicos se asocian con hospitalizaciones más breves, una menor tasa de morbilidad febril, menor consumo de narcóticos y mayor comodidad para la paciente con una recuperación posoperatoria más breve (6,8).…”

“…No obstante, la torsión anexial durante la gestación es un cuadro muy infrecuente, con una incidencia aproximada de 1 por cada 5000 embarazos (4). El riesgo de desarrollar una torsión anexial es significativamente mayor en el primer trimestre e inicios del segundo, disminuyendo a medida que la gestación avanza (3).…”
