    Abstract Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in developed countries, with increasing incidence among younger, nulliparous patients. These epidemiological shifts are attributed to increasing rates of obesity, in combination with delayed childbearing. This highlights a need for fertility-sparing options for individuals who wish to delay standard surgical management with hysterectomy, bilateral salpingoophorectomy, and assessment of pelvic/para-aortic lymph nodes. Careful consideration should be taken to select which patients are suitable candidates for fertility-sparing methods. Typically, these are patients found to have FIGO grade 1 tumors of the endometrioid subtype without myometrial invasion. Currently, conservative treatment options include the use of oral progestins and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices, with an emerging role for hysteroscopy for direct visualization of the uterine cavity, targeted tissue sampling, and tumor resection. This paper aims to highlight the role of office hysteroscopy for diagnosis, hysteroscopic tumor resection, and follow-up in suitable endometrial cancer patients who wish to preserve their uterus until childbearing is complete.

    Abstract We report the first ever measurements of the thermalization length of low-energy electrons injected into solid para-hydrogen at a temperature T ≈ 2.8 K. The use of the pulsed Townsend photoinjection technique has allowed us to investigate the behavior of quasi-free electrons rather than of massive, slow negative charges, as reported in all previous literature. We have found an average thermalization length ⟨z0⟩ = 26.1 nm, which is three to five times longer than that in liquid helium at the same temperature.

    Abstract Background: Hysteroscopy represents the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine pathologies. The advent of the mini-resectoscope heralded a new era in intrauterine surgery, both in inpatient and outpatient settings.
    Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of the mini-resectoscope for the treatment of intrauterine pathologies.
    Search strategy: Electronic databases were searched for English-language trials describing surgical procedures for uterine pathologies performed with a mini-resectoscope until 30 April 2023.
    Selection criteria: Retrospective or prospective original studies reporting the treatment of uterine pathologies with mini-resectoscope were deemed eligible for the inclusion.
    Data collection and analysis: Data about study features, characteristics of included populations, surgical procedures, complications, and results/outcomes were collected.
    Results: Seven papers that met the inclusion criteria were included in this systematic review. Quantitative analysis was not possible due to data heterogeneity. A descriptive synthesis of the results was provided accordingly to the pathology hysteroscopically removed/corrected: polyps and myomas, uterine septum, intrauterine synechiae, and isthmocele.
    Conclusions: The mini-resectoscope is poised to play a leading role in hysteroscopic surgery for many pathologies, both in inpatient and outpatient settings. Since some applications of the mini-resectoscope have not yet been thoroughly investigated, future studies should address current knowledge gaps, designing high-quality comparative trials on specific applications.

    Abstract Despite their general good health, an increasing proportion of elderly individuals require surgery due to an increase in average lifespan. However, because of their increased vulnerability, these patients need to be handled carefully to make sure that surgery does not cause more harm than good. Age-related postoperative cognitive disorders (POCD) and postoperative delirium (POD), two serious consequences that are marked by adverse neuropsychologic alterations after surgery, are particularly dangerous for the elderly. In the context of gynecologic procedures, POCD and POD are examined in this narrative review. The main question is how to limit the rates of POCD and POD in older women undergoing gynecologic procedures by maximizing the risk-benefit balance. Three crucial endpoints are considered: (1) surgical procedures to lower the rates of POCD and POD, (2) anesthetic techniques to lessen the occurrence and (3) the identification of individuals at high risk for post-surgery cognitive impairments. Risks associated with laparoscopic gynecologic procedures include the Trendelenburg posture and CO

    Abstract Here, we present a frequency tuning mechanism for microwave cavities designed for axion dark matter searches and show that it provides a range of at least 200 MHz for the fundamental mode TM010 resonant at ∼10 GHz. The apparatus is based on a clamshell cavity, with the two semi-cells held together at a fixed joint while the other side opens to tune the frequency of the resonant modes. Measurements of the cavity frequencies and quality factor were taken at liquid helium temperature as the aperture was increased incrementally to ∼2°. We show that the frequency shift is approximately linear with respect to the angle of aperture with no mode crossings present for an aperture less than 2°. Furthermore, the form factor and quality factor of the TM010 mode remain relatively constant throughout the tuning as predicted by simulation.
