ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: The 2015 Paris Agreement has been the first restrictive agreement in the fight against climate change. The newer generations of pathologists, who feel more anxiety due to environmental problems than their predecessors, are asked to publish research works while they are harder and harder to and in a context of demographical tensions. We wanted to measure the rise of ecology research in pathology since the Paris Agreement. MATERIAL & METHODS: Over a ten years study period (2013-2022), we have identified via PubMed the number of articles in which forty-three terms taken from the sustainable development vocabulary appeared in ten renowned international pathology journals, selected for their SJR index from ScimagoJr and their impact factor, plus the Annales de pathologie, and compared their means of incidence between the 2013-2015 (m1) and 2016-2022 (m2) periods. The same process has been applied for "artificial intelligence", "deep learning" and "digital pathology". RESULTS: A total of 1336 articles have been identified. Only "digital pathology" (fromm1=8,33 to m2=23,29; p=0,010) and "deep learning" (fromm1=0 to m2=10,14; p=0,034) saw their incidence rise significantly. A significant decrease has been observed with "biological" (fromm1=70,00 to m2=56,86; p=0,020). DISCUSSION-CONCLUSIONS: Pathology reacts to trends but research in ecology has remained in the blind spot since 2015. However there seems to be an awakening as editorials, articles and communications in congress have blossomed the last two years.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of systematic lymphadenectomy in low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) and determine its impact on clinical outcomes in overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) terms. METHODS: A comprehensive, systematic computer literature search on PubMed was performed using the following Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms: "low grade serous ovarian cancer" AND/OR "lymphadenectomy" AND/OR "staging" AND/OR "ovarian cancer" AND/OR "cytoreduction". Separate searches were performed with MeSH terms on MEDLINE and EMBASE to extract all the relevant literature available. We included only patients with histologically confirmed LGSOC. RESULTS: Three studies were considered in the quantitative analysis. Systematic lymphadenectomy in LGSOC failed to provide a significant OS or PFS benefit in LGSOC when compared to no lymphadenectomy in the entire (all the stages) population (for OS: HR = 1.15, 95% CI [0.42, 3.18] I2 = 84% and for PFS: HR = 1.46, 95% CI [0.63, 3.41], I2 = 71%), nor did it in the subtype analysis regarding FIGO stages. For FIGO early-stage I-II LGSOC, the DFS data were pooled (HR = 1.48, 95% CI [0.58, 3.78], I2 = 75%). In patients with advanced-stage (FIGO II-IV), we also failed to prove survival benefit for lymphadenectomy in OS (HR = 1.74, 95% CI [0.87, 3.48], I2 = 11%) or DFS (HR = 1.48, 95% CI [0.58, 3.78], I2 = 75%) compared to no lymphadenectomy. CONCLUSION: More extensive prospective research is mandatory to understand the real impact of lymphadenectomy on survival in LGSOC. The existing literature does not provide strong evidence.
ABSTRACT
El patrón sinusoidal se define como una frecuencia cardíaca fetal que simula una onda sinusoidal suave, con periodicidad de tres a cinco ciclos por minuto y una duración de, al menos, 20 minutos. Es un patrón muy poco frecuente cuyo mecanismo se cree que se produce en respuesta a la hipoxemia fetal moderada, a menudo secundaria a la anemia fetal. La anemia fetal puede ser debida a una hemorragia aguda o a un proceso crónico. Las causas de anemia fetal incluyen hemorragia feto-materna, hemorragia fetal iatrogénica, hemorragia fetal secundaria a rotura de vasa previa o desprendimiento de placenta, la aloinmunización y la infección por parvovirus. Se describen tres casos de anemia neonatal grave, secundarias a transfusión feto-materna, no diagnosticadas durante la gestación, que debutan con un registro con patrón sinusoidal atípico. Lo denominamos atípico, ya que no cumple los criterios estrictos de patrón sinusoidal, y visualmente son registros que podrían pasar inadvertidos, y no ser catalogados como tal, y sin embargo todos los casos se asociaron a cesáreas urgentes por riesgo de pérdida de bienestar fetal y anemias severas en los neonatos (AU)
A sinusoidal heart rate pattern simulates a smooth sine wave, with periodicity of three to five cycles per minute and lasting for at least 20 minutes. It is a very rare pattern whose mechanism is believed to be a response to a moderate fetal hypoxemia, often secondary to fetal anemia. Fetal anemia can be due to acute bleeding or a chronic process; causes include fetomaternal hemorrhage, iatrogenic fetal bleeding, fetal bleeding secondary to vasa previa or placental abruption, alloimmunization, and parvovirus infection. 3 cases of severe neonatal anemia secondary to fetal-maternal transfusion, undiagnosed during pregnancy, debuting with an atypical sinusoidal pattern are described. We call it atypical because it does not meet the strict criteria for sinusoidal pattern, and visually, this kind of fetal heart rate monitoring could pass unnoticed and not be classified as such, but all cases were associated with urgent cesarean for risk fetal and severe anemia in newborns (AU)
