The aim of this study was to evaluate whether selected prenatal markers obtained from fetal echocardiography can predict postnatal outcome in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) patients. We also aimed to verify the prognostic value of lung-to-head ratio (LHR). ⋯ Narrowing of the ascending aorta in CDH fetuses is a poor prognostic factor associated with increased mortality in neonates. Our study also confirmed the prognostic value of LHR.

Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation is the treatment of choice for male urinary incontinence (UI). The aim of the present study was to evaluate treatment outcomes of UI in men using an AUS with a cuff placed around the prostatic urethra. ⋯ The analysis indicates that cuff placement around the prostatic urethra results in better continence and is characterised by fewer complications. This method is dedicated for patients who have not had the prostate gland removed. Due to the retrospective nature of this analysis and small groups of patients, it is not possible to formulate ultimate recommendations.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, which seriously affects women's health, especially in developing countries. This study aims to investigate novel molecular markers for poor prognosis of cervical cancer to achieve correct guidance of clinical treatment, accurate assessment of prognosis, and provide a new basis for the choice of reasonable treatment options for cervical cancer patients. ⋯ Our results indicated that lncRNA TP73-AS1 was up-regulated in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines, predicting poor prognosis of cervical cancer and regulating cell proliferation and migration.
