Objective: To determine our experience with laparoscopic hysterectomy. Design: Patients from private hospitals, attended from January 1997 to December 1999. Material and Methods: Fifty patients were subjected to laparoscopic hysterectomy, uterine arteries were sectioned and in many cases the cardinal ligaments were partially sectioned as well. The uterus was removed vaginally. Results: Eighteen of them (36%) had previously received estrogen therapy. Average age was 43 year-old, 6 of them (12%) nulliparous, the remainder (88%) had had a previous pregnancy, with an average number of 3,5 gestations. Surgical indications were uterine myomata, benign ovarian cysts, adenomyosis, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, dysfunctional uterine bleeding and entero-pelvic adhesions. Anteroposterior colpoperineorraphy was done in 16 patients (32%). Average surgery time was 103 minutes. Uterine weight averaged 236 g. Among complications, we identified two urinary tract infections (4%), one dome infection, one vesical laceration (2%) in the patient whose uterus weighted 600 g, and one abdominal wall haematoma caused by trocar. Average hospital stay was 2,8 days. Conclusions: Comparing this technique with conventional hysterectomy, we have observed longer duration of surgery, but faster postoperative recuperation, shorter hospital stay, faster remission of pain and it was possible to remove the uterus vaginally in patients with a prolapsed uterus and strong pelvic adhesions. Objetivo: Determinar nuestra experiencia en histerectomía laparoscópica. Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo. Lugar: Pacientes de clínicas privadas atendidas de enero de 1997 a diciembre de 1999. Material y Métodos: Cincuenta pacientes sometidas a histerectomía laparoscópica, en las que se llegó a seccionar las arterias uterinas y hasta los ligamentos cardinales, con tiempo vaginal para la extirpación de la pieza. A 18 (36%) se les administró estrogenoterapia previa. Resultados: El promedio de edad de las pacientes fue 43 años, 6 de ellas (12%) nulíparas, el resto (88%) había gestado alguna vez; promedio de gestaciones 3,5. Las indicaciones fueron miomas del útero, quistes benignos de ovario, adenomiosis-endometriosis, síndrome dolor pélvico crónico, hemorragia uterina disfuncional y adherencias pélvico intestinales. En pacientes con prolapso uterino, la colpoperineorrafia anteroposterior se realizó en dieciséis pacientes (32%). El tiempo operatorio promedio fue 103 minutos. El peso promedio uterino fue 236 g. Las complicaciones fueron dos (4%) infecciones urinarias, una (2%) infección de cúpula, una (2%) laceración vesical (en la paciente cuyo útero pesó 600 g) y un (2%) hematoma de pared ocasionado por uno de los trócares. La estancia de internamiento fue 2,8 días promedio. Conclusiones: Comparando esta técnica con la histerectomía convencional, apreciamos que, si bien el tiempo quirúrgico es mayor, las pacientes se recuperan más rápidamente, la estancia de internamiento es menor, la sintomatología dolorosa remite más rápido y permite el abordaje vaginal a aquellas pacientes con prolapso y adherencias pélvicas firmes.

The purpose of this study was to compare body composition measurements with best practice pre-test conditions and controlled non-best practice pre-test conditions using bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), ultrasound (US), skinfolds (SF), dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and the four compartment (4C) model.Eighteen resistance-trained individuals participated. On day 0, participants logged all activities including food, fluid, and exercise. Participants arrived at the lab the next morning, day 1, following best-standardized practice protocols (fasted and non-exercised for 12 hours). Participants were measured with the 4 methods. Participants continued to log their activity and returned to the lab 4-7 hours later to repeat the same testing protocol in a non-best practice state. Continuing to log their activity, individuals did not report to the lab for testing on day 2 but were instructed to repeat their logged activities from day 0. Individuals reported back to the lab for re-testing on day 3, repeating the procedures/activities/food log from day 1. The reliability analyses indicated excellent stability of scores, with values ranging from 0.89 to 0.99. Repeated measures ANOVAs were used to determine if the BF% estimates were different between time points of day 1 and day 3. The results indicated there was a significant main effect for method (p= 0.003) where 4C, BIS, SF, and US all reported significantly lower values than DXA. In conclusion, body composition measurements were not significantly affected by following an unstandardized best practice protocol when compared to testing in a standardized best practice protocol.

Sports nutrition encompasses a variety of components that play a role in influencing the dietary habits of athletes, and consequently, their athletic performance. The purpose of this study was to compare student-athletes’ nutritional knowledge and perceived dietary intake to their measured body composition. Participants included male and female Division II collegiate athletes at California State University, San Bernardino (age: 22 ± 2.1 years; height: 68.1 ± 4.7 in; body mass: 153.1 ± 32.1 lbs; fat-free mass: 117 ± 26.3 lbs; body fat percent: 24.4 ± 7.5%). Body composition was assessed using Bio-Electrical Impedance Analysis. Participants completed a validated abridged sports nutrition knowledge questionnaire. The athletes answered 15.2 ± 4% of the questions correctly with no differences observed between the sexes (females: 15.2 ± 3.7% vs. males: 15.2 ± 4.9%;p= 0.99). There were no significant correlations found between quiz scores and fat mass (p= 0.32), fat free mass (p= 0.41), or body fat percentage (p= 0.76). A significant difference was found between the athletes measured and perceived body fat percentages (3.7 ± 9.8;p= 0.02).The present study found that although Division II collegiate athletes have a low level of sports nutrition knowledge,there is no significant relationship between nutritional knowledge and body composition measures.
