Among surgical procedures of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, the laparoscopic Davydov's technique seems to offer the most feasible and effective approach for creating a neovagina. Several reports have pointed at the necessity for mobilization of the peritoneum to obtain a longer neovagina and have reported a modified laparoscopic Davydov’s method. A new method was performed for a 24- and an 18-year-old patient. The most significant method in present procedure was to leave the thickened tissue that connects both rudimentary uteruses. The advantages of present procedure are physiological, creating a longer neovagina. Furthermore, this approach may help prevent prolapse of pelvic organs by leaving the thickened tissue as a ceiling.

AbstractNasal obstruction caused by the inferior turbinate is a common clinical problem. There are many surgical procedures which attempt to relieve it, but all of them have associated difficulties.We describe, for the first time, a new method, namely multiple submucosal out-fractures of the inferior turbinates, which is both effective and free from serious complication.

Abstract The American Society of Brewing Chemists (ASBS) has released one new procedure and one change in a present procedure. A new method for calculating the carbohydrate content of malt beverages, after determining the specific gravity, real extract, protein, and ash contents by AOAC methods, is presented. The method is applicable to either weight or volume amounts of malt beverages. Two changes are presented in method 10.027, caloric content of malt beverages: (1) the calorie factor for grams of ethanol is changed from 7.0 to 6.9, and (2) the ash content of the malt beverage is subtracted from the real extract before calculating the calories of the extract. The 2 changes are needed to make the caloric calculation more precise.

INTRODUCTION: The frequency of post-hysterectomy prolapse of the vaginal dome reaches 43% in patients after surgical treatment for complete uterine prolapse. Goal ― improving the effectiveness of surgical treatment with titanium mesh implants in pre- and postmenopausal patients with complete uterine prolapse. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved 21 patients with complete uterine prolapse who underwent the proposed new method of transvaginal surgical prevention of post-hysterectomy prolapse of the vaginal dome. The result of surgical treatment was evaluated by analyzing the data of vaginal examination and ultrasound. RESULTS: Patients were observed for 2 years ― after 1, 6, 12 and 24 months. Analysis of vaginal examination and ultrasound data showed no displacement of the vaginal dome, pelvic organs and deformation of titanium implants. There were no mesh-associated complications during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The use of the developed surgical method for the correction of post-hysterectomy prolapse of the vaginal dome with the use of implants made of titanium silk is a reliable tool that provides anatomical efficiency in pre- and postmenopausal patients.

Abstract An improved procedure has been developed for the isolation of Salmonella from dried active yeast. Examination is presently made with a procedure employing pre-enrichment in 1% tryptone broth using a sample-broth ratio of 1:5, with subsequent transfers to selenite cystine (SC) broth and tetrathionate (TT) broth before streaking onto selective agars. The new method employs trypticase soy broth as the pre-enrichment medium using a samplebroth ratio of 1: 10, and subsequent transfers to lauryl sulfate tryptose (LST) broth and TT broth before streaking onto selective agars. The most significant points of change are samplebroth ratio and substitution of LST broth for SC broth. After a 24 hr pre-enrichment period, most probable numbers of the 5 Salmonella serotypes tested with the present procedure ranged from 13 × 103 to 7 × 105/ml compared with 13 × 106 to 49 × 107/ml using the new procedure. An incompatibility between active yeast and SC broth resulted in marked inhibition of 4 of the 5 Salmonella serotypes tested. LST broth was found to be highly productive for Salmonella growth and can be used in place of SC broth because of the absence of a large bacterial flora in dried active yeast. TT broth is retained as one of the selective broths in the event gross contamination is encountered and Salmonella becomes overgrown by non-salmonellae in the LST broth.

The treatment of inflammatory and predominantly exudative processes around the uterus and its appendages should be, first of all, expectant and have for its own purpose the release of the pelvic organs from severity.

A diagnosis of endometriosis is based upon the histological identification of endometrial tissue at ectopic sites which are commonly located on the pelvic organs, the peritoneum and ovary. In rare cases, ectopic lesions can be found in other organs, such as kidney, bladder, lung or brain. Diagnosis is achieved by laparoscopic intervention followed by histological confirmation of endometriotic tissue. Prevalence is estimated at approximately 10% in the general female population with many patients experiencing pain and/or infertility. Currently, the implantation hypothesis by Sampson is the most accepted hypothesis about the pathogenesis of endometriosis. However, the occurrence of endometriosis in patients with Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser (MRKH) syndrome who sometimes lack a uterus or endometrium seems to suggest metaplasia as a cause of endometriosis. A critical reevaluation of the literature about MRKH does not reveal conclusive evidence of an association of uterus/endometrium agenesis and endometriosis. Most often only MRI diagnoses of uterus/endometrium agenesis and only very rarely conclusive histological evidence of the endometriotic lesions are presented. In contrast, whenever biopsies were performed endometriosis always appeared together with uterus/endometrium remnants. Taken together, we suggest that MRKH patients only develop endometriosis if a uterus/endometrium is present which underscores and not contradicts the implantation hypothesis of Sampson.

Investigations which require electron microscope examination of a few specific areas of non-homogeneous tissues make random sampling of small blocks an inefficient and unrewarding procedure. Therefore, several investigators have devised methods which allow obtaining sample blocks for electron microscopy from region of tissue previously identified by light microscopy of present here techniques which make possible: 1) sampling tissue for electron microscopy from selected areas previously identified by light microscopy of relatively large pieces of tissue; 2) dehydration and embedding large numbers of individually identified blocks while keeping each one separate; 3) a new method of maintaining specific orientation of blocks during embedding; 4) special light microscopic staining or fluorescent procedures and electron microscopy on immediately adjacent small areas of tissue.
