Endometriosis affects a great proportion of women during their reproductive years and may impair female fertility in several ways. Ovarian endometrioma (OE) is the most frequent phenotype and growing evidence suggest an endometrioma-mediated damage to the ovary, ovarian reserve and oocyte quality. Traditionally, surgery has been the first-line treatment in cases of OE. Great advances in assisted reproduction and fertility preservation techniques opened new possibilities towards a more conservative approach. Herein we discuss multiple mechanisms responsible for the deterioration of the reproductive capacity in cases of OE as well as the pros and cons of different treatment options. The management of endometrioma-related subfertility remains controversial and it will depend on patient's intentions and priorities. In the "internet era" patients tend to be hyper-informed and more participative, but they are often misguided and misinformed. Thus, doctors should be able to convert these individuals into well-informed patients in order to facilitate the process of shared decision making, which is extremely relevant in the context of OEs.
Poor communication between patients and providers can lead to misunderstanding and misclassification of clinical information, including pregnancy outcomes by women. This qualitative study with maternity care providers explores patient-provider communications regarding stillbirths (SB) and early neonatal deaths (END) and potential SB-END misclassification in Ethiopia.

Qualitative data were collected through 8 in-depth interviews and 3 focus group discussions with maternity care providers at Tikur Anbessa and Gandhi Memorial hospitals in Addis-Ababa.

Twenty-six maternity care providers (10 physicians;16 nurses/midwives) were interviewed. Providers noted that high patient loads negatively influence their provision of quality care to patients. Yet, despite patients generally not asking many questions during their delivery hospitalization, maternity care providers reported offering information about pregnancy outcomes at hospital discharge. The level of education was the most cited factor influencing patienteed to increase providers' awareness of the importance of capturing and reporting reliable and valid information on pregnancy outcomes.
Genitopelvic and sexual pain penetration disorder (GPPD) recognizes a multifaceted etiology. As with syndromes of chronic pain, it responds poorly to medications and its management is difficult. Clinicians consequently favor a multimodal comprehensive approach to tackle the different aspects of the disorder. To treat GPPD women, we chose a multimodal regimen including topical and systemic medications associated with physical interventions and behavioral couple therapy. Our aim was to evaluate the regimen efficacy and the influence that demographic, clinical, and pain characteristics may have on the outcome.

Sixty self -referred women requesting medical care for GPPD, who were free of debilitating illness, in stable heterosexual relationships and with healthy and sexually functional partners, were treated according with the multimodal regimen we tailored on the specific needs of these women. As said, it associated topical and systemic medications combined with physical exercises used in behavioral sex therthe treatment results may be the answer to our search for factors predicting outcome.Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first described in a cluster of patients in Wuhan, China, in December of 2019. Over the past few months, COVID-19 has rapidly spread worldwide becoming the first pandemic of the 21st century. COVID-19 results in mild symptoms in most infected children but can cause acute cardiac injury and death. In comparison to younger children, teenagers and infants are at higher risk for morbidity and mortality, with particular risk factors including pre-existing conditions like cardiovascular disease. Since this is an emerging infectious disease, there are limited data about the effects of this infection on patients especially in the pediatric population. We summarize here with the data on cardiovascular involvement in children and adolescents.Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) include a heterogeneous group of rare, inborn, metabolic diseases characterized by deficiency of lysosomal enzymes or of other proteins involved in lysosomal function, leading to multi organ system substrates accumulation, with consequent multi systemic clinical presentation. Taurochenodeoxycholic acid Cardiac disease is particularly important in some group of LSDs as glycogen storage diseases (Pompe), mucopolysaccharidoses and in glycosphingolipidoses (Anderson-Fabry disease and less frequently Gaucher disease). Various cardiac manifestations may be observed including hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease and valvular disease. The availability of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has changed the natural history of some LSDs such as Pompe disease, thanks to the significant effects on cardiological involvement. In other LSDs such as MPSs or Fabry disease, ERT has been shown to stabilize or slow the progression of heart damage. This imposes the need for a timely diagnosis that allows a rapid onset of ERT.This study examined the prevalence and distribution of elevated systolic pulmonary arterial pressure, measured by echocardiography, in young patients with down syndrome associated or not with congenital heart disease and surgical correction during childhood. Pulmonary artery systolic pressure, computed by regurgitant tricuspid flow velocity evaluation, is the most frequently used parameter for the screening of pulmonary hypertension. Down syndrome and congenital heart disease often coexist and the probability to detect elevated systolic pulmonary arterial pressure in this setting is high. However, little is known about the evaluation of pulmonary arterial pressure during growth of patients with down syndrome with or without congenital heart disease. We enrolled 47 young patients (55% of male sex; mean age 18.4 ± 6.0 years), 40 with congenital heart disease and 7 without a cardiac defect. Systolic pulmonary arterial pressure was assessed by echocardiography. No difference was found in the population dichotomized by presence or absence of CHD.
