Bone Marrow in Perspectives to Cure Breast Cancer

Image
  There are perspectives to cure breast cancer, and the main strategy in that way is the exact estimation of tumor dissemination at diagnosis. It is well proved that disseminated tumor cells in the bone marrow are the most important prognostic factor in operable breast cancer [1]. Its prognostic role become visible at late periods after surgery (sometimes, 25 years). Taking in mind that women with breast cancer are around 60-year-old, one may see that the relapses arises usually after 80. It appears in brain, lung and other distant organs as hematologic metastases, and unfortunately, nothing is possible to do in the most of those cases, so the main reasons of deaths in breast cancer are distant metastases. Hematological dissemination of breast cancer takes place at very early stages of the diseases, sometimes even at carcinoma in situ [2]. The main reservoir of tumor cells in the organism is bone marrow [3,4]. Those cells survive for a long time and then wake up and come to some ...

Health Challenges for Women during COVID-19

The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is having potentially disastrous consequences for women’s and girls’ health around the world. Global health officials are struggling to keep the COVID-19 pandemic from wreaking havoc on women’s health. With domestic violence and maternal mortality expected to rise as women lose access to critical health treatments and social support. With children out of school, growing care needs for older people, and overburdened health services, unpaid care work has increased. Women make about 70% of the global health workforce and are more likely to work in front-line positions like nurses, midwives, and community health workers, in particular workers in the medical field. They also make up the majority of health-care workers, such as nurses and therapists. As such, they provide cleaning, laundry, and catering services are more likely to come into contact with the virus. All public health preparedness and response strategies for COVID-19 must account for both direc...

Combined Cervical Laceration and Bladder Rupture: A Case Report of an Unusual Complication of Precipitated Labor

Image
Highlights   a) Bladder and cervical rupture should be considered, after precipitated vaginal delivery. b) When there is gross hematuria, a urinary catheter should be inserted to monitor the hematuria and urine output. c) If the hematuria persists and other associated symptoms appear, cystography is a useful tool for determining the severity of the bladder injury and determining the cause. Abstract   Cases of bladder rupture have been rarely reported following vaginal childbirth. To the best of our knowledge, however, no cases of combined cervical laceration and bladder rupture have been reported to date. We present the first case of a 31-year-old woman with gestational diabetes who suffered a combined cervical laceration and bladder rupture after childbirth. Precipitated labor caused by oxytocin induction resulted in vaginal and cervical lacerations. The bladder rupture was confirmed by cystography. A team of obstetricians and urologists performed the laparotomy. The patien...
