Vaginal hysterectomy and transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery for uterosacral ligament suspension for pelvic organ prolapse: 53 cases of single-surgeon experience.
The objective of this study was to describe the single-surgeon experience on transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery for uterosacral ligament suspension in patients with severe prolapse who had concomitant vaginal hysterectomy. ⋯ Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery uterosacral ligament suspension is a feasible technique to treat severe pelvic organ prolapse with promising results for short-term efficacy and safety in patients who had concomitant vaginal hysterectomy. Longer follow-up periods are needed to evaluate the long-term efficacy profile of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery for uterosacral ligament suspension.

Observational StudyProlonged urinary retention in COVID-19 survivors: observational study.
Initially diagnosed as a respiratory disease, SARS-CoV-2 revealed numerous extrapulmonary implications. The aim of this study was to investigate prolonged urinary retention in survivors post-COVID-19 infection that led to hospitalization. ⋯ Urinary tract involvement in COVID-19 infection is increasingly evident. The correlation between COVID-19 severity and failure to remove the urinary catheter in a similar percentage of men and women reinforces the hypothesis that sex-independent urothelial injury and bladder dysfunction might be caused by COVID-19.

Factors of mortality in patients with cardiac implantable electronic device: 5-year experience.
The use of cardiac implantable electronic devices has increased in recent years. It has also brought some issues. Among these, the complications of cardiac implantable electronic devices infection and pocket hematoma are difficult to manage. It can be fatal with the contribution of patient-related risk factors. In this study, we aimed to find mortality rates in patients who developed cardiac implantable electronic devices infection and pocket hematoma over 5 years. We also investigated the risk factors affecting mortality in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices. ⋯ No correlation was observed between cardiac implantable electronic devices infection and mortality, whereas pocket hematoma was associated with mortality. Furthermore, renal failure was the cause of the highest mortality rate in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.

Isolated polyhydramnios in the third trimester or polyhydramnios secondary to late-onset gestational diabetes: is it worth distinguishing?
The aim of this study was to compare pregnancy outcomes of patients with polyhydramnios due to late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus and patients with isolated polyhydramnios. ⋯ Polyhydramnios in late pregnancy without evidence of pregnancy-related causes leading to polyhydramnios may be a sign of late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus in women with a normal prior oral glucose tolerance test. As pregnancy outcomes and management were indifferent, it does not seem necessary or useful to diagnose whether or not late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus is present.

Does hyperprolactinemia treatment affect pregnancy and perinatal outcomes?
The aim of this study was to assess obstetric and perinatal outcomes in women with hyperprolactinemia according to the type of treatment indicated, with cabergoline or bromocriptine. ⋯ Regardless of the type of previous drug treatment with dopamine agonists, hyperprolactinemia does not alter obstetric outcomes.
