conclusions according to our results, by omitting probable risk factors of incidence of sore throat and evaluation of role of hormonal changes in women represented in menstrual cycles, there was no significant association between menstrual cycle and sore throat incidence. results of 100 patients, in the first six hours, 51 patients had sore throat and 49 had no pain. during the first 6 hours, 3...

background : high incidence of menstrual disorders at late ages of fertility accounts for 20% of clinical visits and 25% of gynecological surgeries. this study was conducted to identify the relationship between delivery type and menstrual disorders in women referring to hospitals affiliated to medical universities in tehran in 2008. methods : in this case-control study, which was conducted from...

background: the up-regulation of galectin-3, galectin-9, and galectin-15 expression in the luminal and glandular epithelium was reported in preparation of the endometrium for embryo implantation at the midlutheal phase. however, no data was available regarding the expression and the distribution pattern of galectin-8 in the human endometrium during a regular menstrual cycle. objective: the curr...

In this two centre study, the efficacy of 200 mg mifepristone orally followed 48 h later by 0.4 mg misoprostol orally for menstrual regulation was investigated. The dose of mifepristone was taken the day before the expected day of menstruation. Each volunteer was planned to participate for up to 6 months. A plasma beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) was measured on the day of mifepristone ...

There is controversy over how hormonal conditions influence cerebral physiology. We studied pattern-shift visual evoked potentials (PS-VEP), brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEV) in 20 female volunteers at different phases of the menstrual cycle (estrogen phase, ovulatory day and progesterone phase). Statistical analysis showed dec...

PURPOSE To evaluate the latency of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in healthy women during and after menstruation. METHODS Pattern and flash VEPs were performed in 15 healthy women aged 18 to 25 years on the maximum bleeding day (luteal phase) and 7 days after the menstrual cycle (follicular phase). RESULTS Mean latency was 119.6 msec on the maximum bleeding day and 100.8 msec one week afte...

OBJECTIVE To describe menstrual disturbance in eating disorders (ED). METHOD We describe menstrual history in 1,705 women and compare eating, weight, and psychopathological traits across menstrual groups. RESULTS Menstrual dysfunction occurred across all eating disorder subtypes. Individuals with normal menstrual history and primary amenorrhea reported the highest and lowest lifetime body m...

The effects of menstrual cycle phase and hormones on women's visual ability to detect symmetry and visual preference for symmetry were examined. Participants completed tests of symmetry detection and preference for male facial symmetry at two of three menstrual cycle phases (menses, periovulatory, and luteal). Women were better at detecting facial symmetry during the menses than luteal phase of...

AIM The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between endometrial concentrations of estrogen and progesterone receptors throughout the menstrual cycle in women with unexplained infertility. MATERIAL AND METHODS In forty four infertile women with unexplained infertility, biopsy of the endometrium was performed during simultaneous laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Material wa...

Two studies address the role of hormonal shift across menstrual cycle in female dehumanization of other women. In Study 1, normally ovulating women (NOW) and women who use hormonal contraceptives (HCW) are compared in terms of how much they dehumanize other women and two other control targets (men and elderly people). In NOW, the level of dehumanization of other women, but not of men and elderl...
