Pooled data analysis of primary ventral (PVH) and incisional hernia (IH) repair is no more acceptable: results of a systematic review and metanalysis of current literature

Purpose: Primary (PVHs) and incisional (IHs) ventral hernias represent a common indication for surgery. Nevertheless, most of the papers presented in literature analyze both types of defect together, thus potentially introducing a bias in the results of interpretation. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to highlight the differences between these two entities. Methods: Methods MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were reviewed to identify studies evaluating the outcomes of both open and laparoscopic repair with mesh of PVHs vs IHs.

Inpatient vs outpatient management and timing of delivery of uncomplicated monochorionic monoamniotic twin pregnancy: the MONOMONO study

Objectives: Monoamniotic twin pregnancies are at increased risk of perinatal complications, primarily owing to the risk of cord entanglement. There is no recommendation on whether such pregnancies should be managed in hospital or can be safely managed in an outpatient setting, and the timing of planned delivery is also a subject of debate.

Weight discordance and perinatal mortality in monoamniotic twin pregnancies: analysis of the MONOMONO, NorSTAMP and STORK multiple pregnancy cohorts

OBJECTIVES:
To explore the risk of perinatal mortality in monochorionic monoamniotic (MCMA) twin pregnancies complicated by inter-twin birthweight (BW) discordance.
METHODS:

Minimal residual disease (MRD) in non-Hodgkin lymphomas: Interlaboratory reproducibility on marrow samples with very low levels of disease within the FIL (Fondazione Italiana Linfomi) MRD Network

In 2009, the four laboratories of the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) minimal residual disease (MRD) Network started a collaborative effort to harmonize and standardize their methodologies at the national level, performing quality control (QC) rounds for follicular lymphoma (FL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) MRD assessment.
