Variations in ocular pressure during menstrual cycle.

Variations in T-helper 17 and Regulatory T Cells during The Menstrual Cycle in Peripheral Blood of Women with Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion

Variations in corneal biomechanical parameters and central corneal thickness during the menstrual cycle.

PURPOSE To assess variations in the biomechanical properties and central corneal thickness (CCT) throughout the female menstrual cycle. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, Zerifin Israel. DESIGN Case series. METHODS Young healthy women were prospectively recruited. Every participant was assessed at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, at ovulation, and at t...

Ocular biometric characteristics during the menstrual cycle

PURPOSE To determine the ocular biometric characteristics during the menstrual cycle using the optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR) biometry. METHODS Twenty-two healthy women between the ages of 19 and 36 years with regular menstrual cycles were enrolled in this prospective study. Subjects with irregular menstrual cycles, those taking contraceptive pills, those with a history of ocular ...

P-142: Adenosine Deaminase Activity during Menses, Follicular and Luteal Phases of Menstrual Cycle

Background: In recent years, numerous regulators of gonadal function have been studied. Adenosine deaminase(ADA) is widely distributed throughout human tissues and may contribute in the regulation of menstrual cycle. The purpose of this study was to determine the plasma activities of total adenosine deaminase (ADAT), and its isoenzymes, ADA1 and ADA2, and ADA1/ADA2 ratio during the menses, foll...

Endogenous inhibition of the nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) and pain ratings during the menstrual cycle in healthy women.

BACKGROUND The menstrual cycle influences pain, with symptoms often increasing during the premenstrual (late-luteal) phase. Deficiencies in endogenous inhibition of afferent nociception at the spinal level might contribute to menstrual phase-related changes in pain. PURPOSE This study assessed whether conditioned pain modulation (CPM) of spinal nociception differs between mid-follicular and l...
