This paper will focus on knowledge related to brain metastases from endometrial carcinoma. To date, 115 cases were documented in the literature with an incidence of 0.6% among endometrial carcinoma patients. The endometrial carcinoma was usually an advanced-stage and high-grade tumor. In most patients (~90%), brain metastasis was detected after diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma with a median i...

Background: According to age, history and physical examination findings, there are different diagnoses including anatomic lesions for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). In these conditions, hysteroscopy can be performed as a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. Objective: The aim of this study was defining the diagnostic value of hysteroscopy in evaluating uterine cavity in patients with AUB com...

Endometriosis can affect any portion of the gastrointestinal tract. A preoperative definitive diagnosis of intestinal endometriosis is difficult, because there is no characteristic endoscopic finding and the endoscopic biopsies usually sample insufficient endometrial tissue for pathologic diagnosis. To our knowledge, the magnifying endoscopic features of intestinal mucosal endometriosis have no...

The aim of this prospective study was to compare the endometrial microbiome between pregnant and non-pregnant women after frozen embryo transfer (FET) with euploid embryos. Endometrial biopsies were collected from 30 during mid-luteal phase in a natural cycle. FET performed embryos up 3 months biopsy. microbiota composition analysed using 16S rRNA (v4-v5 region) next generation sequencing (NGS)...

The luteal phase of the human menstrual cycle reflects the functional lifespan of the corpus luteum (Baird et al., 1975). The corpus luteum is formed in response to the mid-cycle surge of luteinizing hormone from the remnants of the follicle following ovulation. It is the endocrine gland with the shortest lifespan , normally 14 ± 2 days, unless pregnancy occurs. The most important function of t...

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of raloxifene on endometrial histopathology of menopausal women. METHODS Thirty-one patients under raloxifene treatment (60 mg/day) for a six-month period and submitted to diagnostic videohysteroscopy at the Climateric Outpatients Clinic, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual Francisco Morato de Oliveira, in the city of Sã...

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography, hysteroscopy and uterine curettage in the diagnosis of endometrial polyp, submucous myoma and endometrial hyperplasia, using as gold standard the histopathological analysis of biopsy samples obtained during hysteroscopy or uterine curettage. Methods Cross-sectional study performed at the Hospital Universitário de Brasília (HUB)...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of first chromosome long arm duplication (dup(1q)) in cases with endometrial carcinoma detected with array based comperative genomic hybridization (aCGH) on survival from the cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 53 patients with the diagnosis of endometrial carcinom due to endometrial biopsy and who have been operated for this r...
