Randomized Controlled TrialEvaluation of pain in office hysteroscopy with prior analgesic medication: a prospective randomized study.
To evaluate whether administration of analgesic medication one hour before undergoing office hysteroscopy decreased pain and other side effects. ⋯ Administration of 1 g paracetamol and 600 mg ibuprofen one hour prior to office hysteroscopy decreased statistically the occurrence of non-pain side effects such as nausea, emesis, and hypotension. No differences in pain scores were observed.

Randomized Controlled TrialThe effects of giving patients verbal or written pre-operative information in gynecologic oncology surgery: a randomized study and the medical-legal point of view.
To evaluate the verbal and written preoperative information in patients undergoing surgery for malignant gynaecologic disease, in terms of satisfaction about preoperative received informations, hospitalization days, postoperative pain experienced using visual analogue scale (VAS) and number of pain drugs used daily. ⋯ We support the use of preoperative information leaflet to better prepare patients for a surgical procedure, showing a faster recovery, low medications use and a better quality of life outcome.

Randomized Controlled TrialTiming of urinary catheter removal after uncomplicated total abdominal hysterectomy: a prospective randomized trial.
To assess whether immediate (0h), intermediate (after 6h) or delayed (after 24h) removal of an indwelling urinary catheter after uncomplicated abdominal hysterectomy can affect the rate of re-catheterization due to urinary retention, rate of urinary tract infection, ambulation time and length of hospital stay. ⋯ Removal of the urinary catheter 6h postoperatively appears to be more advantageous than early or late removal in cases of uncomplicated total abdominal hysterectomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyInduction of labour or expectant monitoring in hypertensive pregnancy disorders at term: do women's postpartum cardiovascular risk factors differ between the two strategies?
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in women in the western world. Several studies have described the association between hypertensive pregnancy disorders and CVD in later life. Our aim was to compare postpartum cardiovascular risk factors in women who had a shorter and women who had a longer exposure to endothelial activation during their term hypertensive pregnancy. ⋯ In women with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy at term, induction of labour does not affect the clinical and biochemical cardiovascular profile at 2.5 years postpartum.
