Objective To determine whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is present in the vagina of women diagnosed with coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Study design The study was conducted prospectively in a university affiliated hospital. Forty-one women of reproductive age whose nasopharyngeal PCR test were positive for SARS-CoV-2 and clinically diagnosed with pneumonia were included in the study. Vaginal swabs were obtained for SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests when the patients were admitted to the inpatient service before pneumonia treatment was initiated. Results Vaginal swab samples of 38 patients were analysed with SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests. None of the vaginal swabs were positive for SARS-CoV-2. Conclusions SARS-CoV-2 does not infect the vagina of women diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.

Background: Adenomyosis is a common gynecologic disorder that primarily affects women of reproductive age that has reported incidence of 5-70% in surgical and postmortem specimens. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of various transvaginal sonographic findings in adenomyosis by comparing them with histopathological results and to determine the most valuable sonographic feature in the diagnosis of adenomyosis.Methods: All transvaginal US findings were correlated with those from histologic examination. The frequency of presenting symptoms and signs of adenomyosis were evaluated. Transvaginal US depicted 10 of 12 pathologically proved cases of adenomyosis. Adenomyosis was correctly ruled out in 33 of 38 patients.Results: Transvaginal US had a sensitivity of 83%, a specificity of 86%, and a positive and negative predictive value of 66% and 94%, respectively. Of the 10 patients with true-positive findings at transvaginal US, the myometrium demonstrated heterogeneous with or without the presence of cysts in nine (75%) patients, linear striation in four (33.3%) patients and globular uterus in six (50%) patients. Three (25%) of 12 cases of adenomyosis had an enlarged uterus, adenomyosis was a significant association with high parity.Conclusions: Adenomyosis can be diagnosed with a considerable accuracy by transvaginal ultrasound. The most common sonographic criteria of adenomyosis are heterogeneous myometrial appearance while the most specific criteria are myometrial cysts, sub-endometrial echogenic linear striations and globular configuration of the uterus.

A Prospective Study

Many patients presenting with haematuria undergo intravenous urography, renal tract ultrasound and cystoscopy. Renal tract ultrasound includes imaging of the bladder, which can significantly increase scan times by necessitating bladder filling, which can impact negatively on appointment scheduling. Little published literature exists on whether ultrasound of the bladder in the presence of haematuria is of any clinical benefit. This study aims to redress this by comparing bladder ultrasound to the gold standard of cystoscopy and also by assessing temporal implications in this patient group. A prospective study was undertaken where 96 consecutive urology-referred patients had their bladder ultrasound findings compared with the findings of cystoscopy under the headings of mass, trabeculation, diverticulum, stone and fistula. Ultrasound had poor sensitivity (47.8%), but good specificity (94.5%) in detecting the predefined bladder pathologies with a poor Kappa score of 0.33 when compared with cystoscopy. In addition, there was a significant time burden placed on the list by including bladder scanning as part of the renal tract sonographic assessment. In conclusion, bladder ultrasound is not shown to be a clinically useful adjunct to cystoscopy for the detection of bladder pathology. We would recommend that, in the setting of haematuria, ultrasound be used only for upper tract assessment.
