Article Abstract
Objective: To determine the efficacy of second generation endometrial ablation (NovaSure) combined with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena) in the treatment of adenomyosis.
Methods: Clinical data of patients with adenomyosis admitted in Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Among 66 patients, 44 received Mirena placement only (control group) and 22 received Mirena placement and NovaSure treatment (study group). The menstruation blood loss, dysmenorrhea score, uterine size, expulsion rate of Mirena and the patients' satisfaction rate were assessed in two groups.
Results: There was a significant reduction in menstruation blood loss (<0.05) and significant improvement in dysmenorrhea (<0.05) after the treatment in both groups. The patients in study group had more marked improvement in menstruation blood loss than those in control group (<0.05). The patients' satisfaction was higher and the expulsion rate of Mirena was lower in study group than that in control group (all <0.05). The score of dysmenorrhea and the size of uterine had no significant difference between two groups (all >0.05).
Conclusions: NovaSure can improve the efficacy of Mirena in treatment of adenomyosis.

Development of an Instrument to Measure Resilience to Misinformation on Social Media: Measurement Properties and Validation.
J Med Internet Res
September 2025
School of Nursing, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal.
Background: The spread of misinformation on social media poses significant risks to public health and individual decision-making. Despite growing recognition of these threats, instruments that assess resilience to misinformation on social media, particularly among families who are central to making decisions on behalf of children, remain scarce.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a novel instrument that measures resilience to misinformation in the context of social media among parents of school-age children.
Is a Response to Intraoperative Electrical Nerve Stimulation Associated With Recovery After Stretch Injury in the Rat Median Nerve?

Leni & Peter W. May Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Peripheral nerve injury commonly results in pain and long-term disability for patients. Recovery after in-continuity stretch or crush injury remains inherently unpredictable. However, surgical intervention yields the most favorable outcomes when performed shortly after injury.

Purpose: To build computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics models, with independent external validation, to predict recurrence and disease-specific mortality in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who underwent liver resection.
Methods: 113 patients were included in this retrospective study: the internal training cohort comprised 66 patients, while the external validation cohort comprised 47. All patients underwent a CT study before surgery.
Development and Validation of an Individualized Prediction Model for Postoperative Late Recurrence After Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (POLAR-HCC): A Multicenter Study.
Ann Surg Oncol
September 2025
Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital, Naval Medical University, Shanghai, China.
Background: Postoperative late recurrence (POLAR) after 2 years from the date of surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a unique surveillance and management challenge. Despite identified risk factors, individualized prediction tools to guide personalized surveillance strategies for recurrence remain scarce. The current study sought to develop a predictive model for late recurrence among patients undergoing HCC resection.
