Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Department of Surgery Researcher Yields New Study Findings on Hysteroscopy ("In Situ" Methotrexate Injection Followed by Hysteroscopic Resection for Caesarean Scar Pregnancy: A Single-Center Experience)
2023 APR 05 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsRx Women's Health Daily -- Investigators discuss new findings in hysteroscopy. According to
Article Description
Background: We evaluated the efficacy of local methotrexate (MTX) treatment followed by hysteroscopic resection for caesarean scar pregnancy and its impact on future fertility. Methods: Monocentric, prospective, observational study performed in the Haykel Hospital between June 2016 and December 2020. Twenty-one women with caesarean scar pregnancy underwent a transcutaneous ultrasound-guided direct injection of MTX into the gestational sac in an outpatient setting. Hysteroscopic resection of residual trophoblastic retention was then performed according to perisaccular blood flow. Main results: Two patients had complete spontaneous trophoblast expulsion after MTX injection, and hysteroscopy was performed in 19 patients for residual trophoblastic retention 1 to 12 weeks after MTX injection. Successful preservation of a healthy uterus with the combined procedure was obtained in 94.8% of patients. Hemostatic hysterectomy was required in one patient. Mean hospitalization duration was 1.5 days. Three patients had spontaneous pregnancy after the procedure. Conclusion: Direct MTX injection into the gestational sac for caesarean scar pregnancy followed by hysteroscopic resection was an effective technique with a short hospitalization, fertility preservation and a low major complication rate compared with other modalities of treatment reported in the literature. Further larger prospective comparative studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of this procedure.
