BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to define determinants of fertility in patients treated conservatively for mucinous borderline ovarian tumours (MBOTs), and to compare outcomes after salpingo-oophorectomy or cystectomy. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of fertility results in a series of patients treated conservatively for MBOTs and desiring pregnancy. Conservative surgery was ...

Objective To investigate the role of ovarian cystectomy in patients with early-stage immature teratoma. Methods A retrospective review was undertaken on patients diagnosed pathologically with immature teratoma and with malignant lesions confined to the ovary. Patients were included if they had been treated between January 1997 and December 2015 at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Hospital of Fuda...

BACKGROUND The aim was to evaluate whether patients with benign ovarian cysts, functional ovarian cysts, or endometriosis have an increased risk of developing gynecologic cancer. METHODS The Swedish Hospital Discharge Register was used to identify a cohort of women discharged from hospital with the diagnoses of ovarian cyst (n = 42217), functional ovarian cyst (n = 17998), or endometriosis (n...

The aim of this study was to determine histological changes in rats’ oral mucosa at induced postmenopausal oestrogen decrease and after administration of raloxifene and 17β-oestradiol. Wistar female rats were ovariectomized and divided into experimental groups; basal – after ovariectomy without drugs BOV, taking raloxifene RA and oestradiol – OVH (10 rats per group). Additionally, 10 rats witho...

background: the contribution of neuroinflammation in alzheimer’s disease (ad) has been widely reported. the effects of female gonadal hormones in both neuroinflammation and brain cognitive functions have also been well considered. objectives: in the present study, the possible protective role for endogenous ovarian hormones against learning and memory impairment as well as brain tissues oxidati...

objective(s): parkinson's disease (pd) is a progressive neurological disorder associated with motor disabilities and cognitive dysfunction as well. evidence indicates that pd occurs less frequently in women than men, confirming a role for steroid hormones in protection of dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons. it is reported that soy genistein, an estrogen agonist phytoestrogen, display neuro...

introduction: several studies indicate that estrogen use increase performance on some tests of cognition especially in postmenopausal women. these steroids have many side effects, thus, other estrogenic agents with fewer side effects are needed to develop alternative treatment strategies. the main objection of this study was to evaluate the effects of different doses of dietary soy meals (with ...

primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism can present with a brown tumor of the mandible. involvement of other skull and facial bones is extremely rare. only a few cases with brown tumor of the orbital bones have been reported. an is year old girl with primary hyperparathyroidism presented with unilateral exophthalmos caused by brown tumor of the orbital roof, lite patient had a 1.5 cm palpable ...

Postmenopausal women as well as rodents after ovariectomy, which results in a lack of estrogen, can become obese. Ovariectomy-induced obesity in mice is associated with a decrease in oxygen consumption, indicating repressed energy expenditure. In this study, to elucidate the mechanism of weight gain after ovariectomy, we examined the expression patterns of genes related to energy expenditure an...
