June 29, 2011 The patient was a 30 year old female patient, para 0, who was diagnosed to have a cervical adenocarcinoma on a screening PAP smear. A subsequent endocervical curettage revealed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma with focal invasion. She underwent a cone biopsy and a repeated endocervical curettage which revealed an adenocarcinoma in situ with two foci of microinvasion cons...

Then Γ0(N) is a discrete subgroup of G. Note that Γ0(1) = SL2(Z). Now we make three choices that determine our space of modular forms. We pick an integer k, called the weight, a positive integer N , called the level, and a Dirichlet character χ : Z/NZ → C, called the nebentypus. If you’ve never seen modular forms before, you should immediately specialize to the easiest case N = 1, in which case...

A case is presented in which an infant required extraction of 2 residual neonatal teeth. Some authors suggest routine curettage of the extraction sites of natal and neonatal teeth to prevent the development of residual teeth. In light of the rare occurrence of such residual teeth, this may represent overtreatment. Curettage at the time of extraction is recommended only in cases where the admini...

A case report of a 53-year-old woman with giant cell tumour of the sacrum is presented. Initial curettage was performed through a posterior approach and the patient was relieved of pain and discharged. However, 6 months later the patient was readmitted with a tumour that had progressed towards the L5 vertebra. A further curettage followed by adjuvant radiotherapy resulted in successful reductio...

Placenta percreta is a rare complication potentially fatal to fetus and the mother. We present here a 41-year-old female patient who underwent curettage for incomplete abortion at 6(th) week of pregnancy. She had persistent vaginal bleeding for 2 months after the curettage, for which she was treated with hysterectomy. Preoperative ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) made the di...

OBJECTIVE To summarize the technique and surgical outcome for total resection of lower sacral tumor. METHODS This retrospective study included 12 cases of total resection of lower sacral tumor (involving S3 and the below) from January 2010 to February 2013. Seven patients underwent en bloc resection and five cases accepted intralesional curettage. We used extraperitoneal approach to ligature ...

OBJECTIVE Hysteroscopic removal of retained products of conception (RPOC) may allow complete removal of RPOC and decreased rates of intrauterine adhesions (IUA) when compared to the traditional blind curettage. The aim of this meta-analysis is to examine the current evidence regarding the use of hysteroscopy for treatment of RPOC. STUDY DESIGN A literature search was conducted in December 201...
