... Additionally, some patients with mature teratoma may present with N-methyl-daspartate (NMDA) encephalitis, which is a rarely seen but severe neurological disorder [41]. Several studies showed that young women or children with ovarian teratoma could be affected by encephalitis, which leads to a wide range of neuropsychiatric symptoms such as psychosis, memory loss, and behavior disorder and subsequently develops into seizures, dyskinesias, and autonomic instability [42][43][44][45][46][47]. The majority of the teratomas are mature, while the other third are immature. ...

... Intraligamental leiomyomas are rare. They are estimated to account for 6 to 10% of all uterine fibroids (4). Huge intraligamental leiomyomas (>10 cm) are even rarer. ...

... Notably, Treg cell abundance has been negatively correlated with NK cell frequency and functional activation, thus suggesting a Treg-specific suppression of NK cell anti-tumor immunity [95][96][97]. Several works agree on TGF-β as a key molecule involved in Treg-driven NK cell inhibition because of its ability to suppress NK-cell-mediated tumor killing and to reduce NKG2D and IFN-γ expression [95,[98][99][100][101][102]. Accordingly, the direct blockade of the suppressive cytokines TGF-β and IL-10 by means of inhibitory monoclonal antibodies was shown to be effective at improving NK cell recognition of target cells and re-activating the NK cell cytotoxic ability [103,104]. ...

... Because human cervical cancer cells, mainly Hela cells (HCs), appear under the influence of infrared radiation in the MWIR wavelengths. Hence, the performance of the proposed photodetector is evaluated in three wavelengths of 3.6 µm, 4.1 µm, and 5 µm as the major wavelengths that Hela cancer cells (HCCs) are sensitive to them (Tsai et al. 2016;Tsai and Hamblin 2017). Examining the simulation results demonstrates that the designed detector performs well in terms of dark current. ...

... In cases requiring laparoscopic myomectomy, we used electric power morcellation. Since 2014, power morcellation has been performed inside a bag to evacuate the fibroid/s from the peritoneal cavity and to prevent spillage of uterine tissue or cells [18]. The in-bag morcellation technique has proven feasibility and lowers the risk of malignant cells spreading during the procedure. ...

... However, adenosarcoma often occur in the glandular epithelium with a mixture of sarcoma components, especially in the uterine muellerian epithelium. [2,8,9] Some literatures still put adenosarcoma in the same category as sarcoma. [10][11][12] Most uterine adenosarcoma has been described in the literature are of low grade malignancy, [13,14] stage I without sarcomatous overgrowth have a rather good prognosis, with a 5-year overall survival (OS) up to 80%. ...

... Parasitic leiomyoma has a non-specific clinical symptoms and it depends on the site of tumor recurrence. The common sites include the pelvic cavity, small intestines, rectum, vaginal stump, and laparoscopic port site (7). ...

... 15 Several previous studies found that LUAO + LM may be more effective than LM alone to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. 11,16,17 Our study's findings are consistent with this since the LUAO + LM group had a significantly lower recurrence rate than the LM group (6.2% vs 25.9%, p = 0.003) at the two-year follow-up. It is currently known there are two reasons for postoperative recurrence of myomas. ...

... Laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion has been described as a treatment for symptomatic myomas [6] . ...
