Approximately 6,000 hysterectomies are performed per year in Denmark. The major part of these are performed by laparotomy, although the use of laparoscopically assisted techniques is increasing. Laparoscopic surgery seems to lead to a reduction in the need for postoperative hospitalization and convalescence, which is confirmed in the few available randomised and to our knowledge all retrospective studies. The length of stay seems to be reduced from four to two days if the patient is hysterectomised by the laparoscopically assisted or vaginal techniques. The introduction of endoscopic techniques has caused a change in routines and recommendations, but not for women operated by the classical open procedures. In this article we question the relevance of comparing different types of operations given the fact that the routines and recommendations are different.
Recent data have shown that Dobrava (DOB) hantavirus is the cause of severe haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in central and eastern Europe. To determine whether serological assays need to be based on the homologous viral antigen rather than on closely related hantavirus antigens, acute and convalescent sera from patients with HFRS collected in former Yugoslavia were examined for IgM and IgG to three hantavirus antigens; DOB, Hantaan (HTN) and Puumala (PUU). Focus reduction neutralization test was included for comparison and confirmation of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results. Although the results showed that the cross-reactivity was high between these three antigens during the acute phase of the disease, one of 155 patients serum samples reacted only in the DOB antigen-based IgM assay. The evaluation of IgG reactivities revealed that a DOB antigen-based IgG ELISA has to be used in sero-epidemiological studies; 7.1% (11/155) of the acute phase/early convalescent sera and 12.5% (2/16) of the late convalescent sera, respectively, reacted only with the homologous DOB antigen.
