This document discusses uterine fibroids and their treatment options, with a focus on uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) as a minimally invasive alternative to hysterectomy. The summary is as follows:
Uterine fibroids disproportionately affect African American women and can cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and other symptoms. Hysterectomy is commonly performed but has risks, costs, and long-term effects. UFE is a outpatient procedure that blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink without surgery. It provides relief from symptoms for over 90% of women and allows preservation of the uterus compared to hysterectomy. The document advocates for increasing awareness of UFE among physicians and patients to reduce
It is considerable cycle variability in the adolescent years. Regular ovulatory menstrual cycles occur every 21 to 35 days and last up to 7 days, with an average blood loss of 25 to 69 mL. Many patients complain of menstrual problems that actually fall within normal variations. In the first year after menarche, 50% of cycles are anovulatory, but 80% still fall in the normal range for duration. By the third year of menarche, 95% of menstrual cycles fall into this range. Charting the menstrual flow on a calendar can be helpful to clarify normal versus abnormal cycles. Cycles that fall outside of the norm should be evaluated for underlying pathology. There are multiple causes for abnormal uterine bleeding in adolescents, the most likely cause is dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) due to an immature hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, causing an ovulatory cycles and irregular bleeding

Diagnostic approach and management of extrauterine pregnancyRustem Celami
An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that develops outside a woman's uterus. This happens when the fertilized egg from the ovary does not reach or implant itself normally in the uterus. Instead, the egg develops somewhere else in the abdomen. The products of this conception are abnormal and cannot develop into fetuses. Urine pregnancy test is often done by women itself once amenorrhea is present about 2 weeks of expected menstrual period, however, pregnancy blood test such Beta – human Chorionic Gonadotropin (BhCG) and ultrasound examination are the best tool of diagnosis. The most common place that ectopic pregnancy occurs is in one of the fallopian tubes, a so-called tubal pregnancy. These are the tubes that transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus. Ectopic pregnancies also can be found on the outside of the uterus, on the ovaries, or attached to the bowel. Most serious complication of an ectopic pregnancy is intra-abdominal hemorrhage. In the case of a tubal pregnancy, for example, as the products of conception continue to grow in the fallopian tube, the tube expands and eventually ruptures. This can be very dangerous because a large artery runs on the outside of each Fallopian tube. If the artery ruptures, the woman can bleed severely. Ectopic pregnancy is usually found in the first 5-10 weeks of pregnancy and is the leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths in the first trimester of pregnancy in the USA. In Albania, we face difficulties not only in application of high technology of ultrasound machine in public health sector but unfortunately we are unable to perform BhCG in public health sector laboratories, such making not only challenge and even delay but an expensive process of diagnosis of this medical problem. In conclusion, since ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy, and comes with high risk of serious complication, early diagnosis of pregnancy location and its management is crucial in preventing medical complication.
