The clinical significance of lymphovascular space invasion in patients with low-risk endometrial cancer.
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of lymphovascular space invasion on recurrence and disease-free survival in patients with low-risk endometrial cancer. ⋯ lymphovascular space invasion is a prognostic risk factor for recurrence and distant metastasis and also a predictor of poorer disease-free survival outcomes in low-risk endometrial cancer.

Fetal vascular malperfusion score is linked with developing preeclampsia in women with gestational diabetes mellitus: a retrospective cohort study.
Fetal vascular malperfusion is associated with poor perinatal outcomes in women with preeclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to determine the association between fetal vascular malperfusion score and syncytiotrophoblast basement membrane thickness and clinicopathological variables, such as developing preeclampsia in women with gestational diabetes mellitus. ⋯ The gestational diabetes mellitus group displayed significantly higher fetal vascular malperfusion scores and thickening of the syncytiotrophoblast basement membrane than the control group. There is a correlation between developing preeclampsia and the fetal vascular malperfusion scores and the syncytiotrophoblast basement membrane thickness.

Association of polycystic ovary syndrome with mammographic density in Turkish women: a population-based case-control study.
The objective of this study was to investigate the breast densities and Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System scores of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and normoovulatory women and to determine whether these patients constitute a high-risk population for breast cancer. ⋯ Although we can conclude that the risk of breast malignancy is not increased in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, the impact of the complex hormonal status of polycystic ovary syndrome on breast cancer remains unclear in the literature.

Factors affecting successful antituberculosis treatment: a single-center experience.
The identification of factors that influence a favorable antituberculosis treatment outcome could be of great use for the promotion of specific health actions to increase the success rate. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the factors affecting successful antituberculosis treatment in patients seen at a reference service in the Western region of São Paulo State/Brazil. ⋯ Low education and being a person living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are vulnerability factors that can affect the successful outcome of antituberculosis treatment.

Role of magnetic resonance imaging in the differentiation of mucinous ovarian carcinoma and mucinous borderline ovarian tumors.
This study was carried out to investigate the differentiation of mucinous borderline ovarian tumor from mucinous ovarian carcinoma using magnetic resonance imaging. ⋯ magnetic resonance imaging findings of these two pathologies overlapped considerably. Compared with mucinous borderline ovarian tumors, mucinous ovarian carcinomas frequently had mural nodules larger than 5 mm, larger tumor size, peritoneal dissemination, and abnormal ascites.
