Dioxins and endometriosis: a plausible hypothesis.
A potential connection exists between exposure to organochlorine chemicals and the increasing prevalence of endometriosis. Evidence shows that dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) can increase the incidence and severity of the disease in monkeys and can promote the growth or survival of endometrial tissue implanted into rodents in a surgically induced model of endometriosis. The mechani...
متن کاملThe presyringomyelic myelopathic state: a plausible hypothesis.
The mechanisms by which nontraumatic, non-tumoral syringomyelia develops are not well understood. Although intradural scarring, arach-noiditis, and vascular compromise have been implicated as contributing to syrinx formation, a unified concept to explain this abnormality and the changes in the cord that precede it have not been established. In this issue of the American Journal of Neuroradiolog...
متن کاملDehydration Influences Mood and Cognition: A Plausible Hypothesis?
The hypothesis was considered that a low fluid intake disrupts cognition and mood. Most research has been carried out on young fit adults, who typically have exercised, often in heat. The results of these studies are inconsistent, preventing any conclusion. Even if the findings had been consistent, confounding variables such as fatigue and increased temperature make it unwise to extrapolate the...
متن کاملEnriching plausible new hypothesis generation in PubMed
BACKGROUND Most of earlier studies in the field of literature-based discovery have adopted Swanson's ABC model that links pieces of knowledge entailed in disjoint literatures. However, the issue concerning their practicability remains to be solved since most of them did not deal with the context surrounding the discovered associations and usually not accompanied with clinical confirmation. In t...
متن کاملPromotion of endometriosis in mice by polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans, and biphenyls.
Previous studies showed exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) enhances the development of endometriotic lesions. In this study we examined the effects of other polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons on endometriotic proliferation. B6C3F1 female mice were treated via oral gavage a total of five times, with 3 weeks between each dosing, with 0, 1, 3, or 10 micrograms 2,3,7,...
