Ovarian cystadenofibromas is a benign ovarian tumor that typically affects women in their fifth decade. Its risk factors remain unknown. This case study report 3 cases of ovarian cystadenofibromas treated in our department. The patients are aged 21, 28 and 50 years-old. The clinical pictures were polymorphic but the pelvic ultrasound of the case patients showed cystic ovarian masses suspected of malignancy. Two patients underwent laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy, and the third one, aged 50, underwent laparoscopic adnexectomy. The anatomopathological study showed benign ovarian cystadenofibromas. The operating follow ups were simple. It represents a relatively rare tumor whose macroscopic aspect evokes ovarian cancer wrongly leading to an aggressive surgical attitude.

A common problem in gynecological practice is the differential diagnosis of the ovarian masses. The clinician must apply the IOTA (International Ovarian Tumor Analysis) ADNEX (Assessment of Different Neoplasia in the Adnexa) model criteria to evaluate the risk of benign, borderline or malignant tumors. The aim of this study was to verify if the IOTA ADNEX model is a practical tool to be used before surgery and if there is a significant difference between IOTA ADNEX criteria and histological findings. A prospective single center study was performed between January 2017 and December 2019 in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital “Cuza-Voda”, Iasi, Romania. The study included 230 patients between 17 and 74 years old diagnosed with persistent adnexal masses. We applied the IOTA ADNEX model protocol predicting the risk of benign, borderline or malignant masses. The golden standard remains the histological diagnosis of the surgically removed mass. The patients that had been diagnosed using ultrasonography with persistent adnexal masses between 30 and 291 mm were operated on in our clinic. In our study. the majority of patients had benign ovarian tumor mass, these being 223 (96.96%) patients, from whom, according to IOTA ADNEX protocol, the correspondence was: 91.8–99.7% at risk of benign tumors, 0.3–4.5% at risk of borderline tumors and 0.3–8.2% at risk of malignant masses. Unexpected findings were obtained from the malignant group that included five patients (2.17%) with the following correspondence: 96.1–99% at risk of benign tumors, 0.6–2.4% at risk of borderline tumors and 1–3.9% at risk of malignant masses. After applying the IOTA ADNEX model criteria, the patients with a suspicion of malignant disease were correctly guided towards surgical treatment in an oncological center. In our hospital, surgical treatment was only proposed to those patients with high suspicion of benign masses.

Sejanus His Fall has always been a succès d'estime rather than a popular triumph. Neverthless, there was an odd and pervasive valency for the speech that opens the play's fifth act, a speech that starts, “Swell, swell, my joys,” and which includes the boast, “I feel my advancèd head/Knock out a star in heav'n.” The soliloquy has an afterlife in printed miscellanies; it was blended with lines from Volpone's first speech; the phrase “knock out a star in heav'n” was turned to by preachers warning of the sin of pride; John Trapp's use of the speech for his biblical commentary was plundered by John Price, Citizen, for the polemic of 1654, Tyrants and Protectors Set Forth in their Colours; and in the year between the Jonson Folio of 1616 and the playwright's journey to Scotland, William Drummond of Hawthornden borrowed directly from the speech for his verse tribute to King James. For all Jonson's punctilious itemising of his tragedy's classical sources, his lines were themselves shaped by a contemporary model: John Marston's Antonio and Mellida. What are we undertaking when we examine an intertextual journey such as this? Is it a case study in Jonson's influence? Is it a meditation upon the fortunes of a single textual item? Alternatively, is it a study of appropriation? The resting place for this essay is the speech's appearance in the third and final edition of Leonard Becket's publication, A Help to Memory and Discourse (1630), an appearance seemingly unique within the Becket canon and one that suggests that Jonson's verse gained an afterlife as a poem.

Building on the picture of post-war Anglo-Danish documentary collaboration established in the previous chapter, this chapter examines three cases of international collaboration in which Dansk Kulturfilm and Ministeriernes Filmudvalg were involved in the late 1940s and 1950s. They Guide You Across (Ingolf Boisen, 1949) was commissioned to showcase Scandinavian cooperation in the realm of aviation (SAS) and was adopted by the newly-established United Nations Film Board. The complexities of this film’s production, funding and distribution are illustrative of the activities of the UN Film Board in its first years of operation. The second case study considers Alle mine Skibe (All My Ships, Theodor Christensen, 1951) as an example of a film commissioned and funded under the auspices of the Marshall Plan. This US initiative sponsored informational films across Europe, emphasising national solutions to post-war reconstruction. The third case study, Bent Barfod’s animated film Noget om Norden (Somethin’ about Scandinavia, 1956) explains Nordic cooperation for an international audience, but ironically exposed some gaps in inter-Nordic collaboration in the realm of film.
