“…Singh-Ranger et al in 2008 reported the case of a 17year-old girl who developed acute coliform salpingitis 3 months after appendectomy [34]. Nyogi et al in 2009 and Limberg et al in 2015 described two similar cases of recurrent hydrosalpinx ensuing after surgery for perforated appendicitis [35,36]. Vyas et al in 2008 presented a case of tubal/ovarian abscess due to an appendicolith that appeared to have migrated into the right fallopian tube [37].…”

Appendectomy and women’s reproductive outcomes: a review of the literature

Summary Background The most frequent abdominal surgery performed for benign disease in females of fertile age is appendectomy, which remains among the most common surgeries and is a possible cause of peritoneal adhesions. The fact that appendectomy can cause adhesions may lead one to think that this may be a relevant risk factor for infertility; however, there is no universal agreement regarding the association between appendectomy and fertility. The aim of this review is to evaluate weather appendectomy may have a relevant impact on female fertility. Methods The search was conducted in PubMed and there was no limitation set on the date of publication. All studies regarding populations of female patients who had undergone appendectomy for inflamed appendix, perforated appendix, or negative appendix between childhood and the end of the reproductive period were included. Results Some authors believe that pelvic surgery can cause adhesions which can potentially lead to tubal infertility by causing tubal obstruction or by altering motility of fimbriae, tubal fluid secretion, and embryo transport. On the other hand, the most recent evidence reported that removal of the appendix seems to be associated with an increased pregnancy rate in large population studies. Conclusion Despite the existence of contrasting opinions concerning fertility after appendectomy, the most recent evidence suggests that appendectomy may actually lead to improved fertility and decreased time to pregnancy. Appendectomy seems to be correlated with improved fertility and higher pregnancy rates.

“…According to retention time, we mapped the five distinct segments with different switching behaviors in Figure b. In addition, we also extracted the retention times of various reported resistive switching devices and summarized them in Figure b. ,− Apparently, the retention time determines the application scenarios of devices. Owing to the unique high tunability, our vacuum gap devices with tunable retention time can be manipulated to operate in different switching regions and adapted to different applications (Figure S6, Supporting Information).…”

Neuromorphic computing has emerged as a highly promising alternative to conventional computing. The key to constructing a large-scale neural network in hardware for neuromorphic computing is to develop artificial neurons with leaky integrate-and-fire behavior and artificial synapses with synaptic plasticity using nanodevices. So far, these two basic computing elements have been built in separate devices using different materials and technologies, which poses a significant challenge to system design and manufacturing. In this work, we designed a resistive device embedded with an innovative nano-vacuum gap between a bottom electrode and a mixed-ionic−electronic-conductor (MIEC) layer. Through redox reaction on the MIEC surface, metallic filaments dynamically grew within the nano-vacuum gap. The nano-vacuum gap provided an additional control factor for controlling the evolution dynamics of metallic filaments by tuning the electron tunneling efficiency, in analogy to a pseudo-three-terminal device, resulting in tunable switching behavior in various forms from volatile to nonvolatile switching in a single device. Our device demonstrated cross-functions, in particular, tunable neuronal firing and synaptic plasticity on demand, providing seamless integration for building large-scale artificial neural networks for neuromorphic computing.

“…En sık yakınma, karın ağrısı ve kusma olduğu için, tipik bir akut batın tablosu olarak değerlendirilmesi olasıdır. Başvuru nedeni ve yakınmanın lokalizasyonuna, lökosit yüksekliği de eklendiğinde akut apandisit ile karıştırılmaktadır (8,11) . Her iki olgumuzda da sağ hidrosalpinks gelişmişti, ancak ön tanılarımız over kisti ve mesenter kisti şeklindeydi.…”

Hydrosalpinx in adolescent girls: What did two cases teach?

Hydrosalphinx is the fallopian tubes getting filled with fluid due to their blockage. It usually occurs with obstruction of fallopian tubes after infection in women of sexually active age. The aim of this article is to draw attention to hydrosalpinx in adolescent girls because of two adolescent cases. First case; a cystic lesion of 38x51x76 mm in the right adnexal region was detected in the lower abdominal magnetic resonance imaging of a 13-year-old girl who presented with the complaint of abdominal pain and vomiting. Right tubal torsion and hydrosalpinx were detected during abdominal exploration. The tube was detorsioned and marsupialization was applied to the hydrosalpinx. Second case; a cystic lesion with dimensions of 24x12x35 cm was detected in the abdominal ultrasonography of a 16-year-old girl who presented with the complaint of abdominal pain and a palpable mass. On abdominal exploration, a right hydrosalpinx filling the entire abdomen was detected. Tubal excision was performed. Both cases have not been undergone any intraabdominal surgery previously. Hydrosalpinx is very rare in adolescent girls. Hydrosalpinx also should be considered in lower abdominal pain. Cases should be examined in terms of preventing infertility problems in future carefully, development of adhesion should be curtailed and parents should be informed in detail.
