have been expected from clinical trial data. Altogether, these data encourage the use of T-VEC in this special patient cohort. To assess the long-term outcome of performing uterine artery embolization (UAE) using small particles in women with symptomatic adenomyosis (AD). Twenty-seven consecutive women (median age 42 years, range 29-53 years) with AD, in eight cases AD combined with fibroids, who underwent UAE between February 2015 and January 2019, were retrospectively analyzed. The embolization was performed using small-sized polyvinyl alcohol particles (100 μm and 300 μm). The patients completed the Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality of Life questionnaire at baseline and at a 42-month follow-up (range 24-71). The junction zone (JZ) thickness and uterine volume were also calculated at baseline and at a three-month follow-up. The total symptom severity score (SSS) decreased from a median of 59 (range 34-78) at baseline to a median of 9 (range 3-47) at the end of this study; the health-related quality of life score (HRQOL) increased from a median of 38 (range 23-49) at baseline to a median of 84 (range 46-97) at 42 months. Tweoes not seem to be a predictor for the long-term outcome of UAE. From the long-term follow-ups, it could be seen that UAE using small particles is safe and effective in treating AD, especially in preserving the uterus. There is no relationship between the clinical outcomes and the initial presence of AD, with or without fibroids, and the JZ thickness at baseline does not seem to be a predictor for the long-term outcome of UAE. Pregnancy is an immune-suppressed state which makes pregnant women generally more susceptible to COVID-19 infection and severe illness. Extensive precautions have been recommended to avoid exposure to the virus. Knowledge and attitude toward the disease play an integral role in readiness to accept public health measures. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice towards COVID-19 among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in three Wollega zones, Ethiopia. Institution-based cross-sectional study was employed among 415 pregnant women attending antenatal care at public hospitals in three Wollega zones, Ethiopia from July to August 2020. The data were collected using an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. The level of knowledge was assessed using 12 multiple choice questions; the score of above or equal to mean was considered as adequate knowledge. Binary logistic regression was performed and the adjusted odds ratio with P-value ≤0.05 at 95% CI was taken as statisticaoward COVID-19. Health-care providers should give more attention to educating pregnant women at any point of contact; legal enforcement should be implemented to improve practice of preventive measures. Special consideration should be given to those who are from rural areas, and to less-educated pregnant women.The new novel coronavirus is having a major impact on healthcare systems internationally. Hospitals are struggling to manage the sudden influx of critical patients. ABT-737 clinical trial Anaesthesiologists and critical care physicians are front liners in the fight against COVID-19 and carry the highest risk of getting infected. Due to the rapid response of the Saudi government to the WHO's early warning, we were fortunate at our hospital to see a slower rise in COVID-19 cases allowing us some time to prepare. We had to make room for the expected rise in highly infectious and critical patients, while at the same time protecting non-COVID-19 patients, staff and trainees. Additionally, the team continued to provide essential and specialized care to all patients in the hospital and maintain its academic and non-clinical services within the university. This review presents the different protocols, challenges and lessons learned during the development of a COVID-19 anaesthesia and critical care department plan in a major teac
