Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) may involve the gynecological tract, and the ovary is one of the most common anatomic site to be involved. Ovarian involvement by NHL is usually secondary, occurring as a part of systemic disease. Localized, presumably primary, NHL of the ovary is rare [1]. Although, there have been few case series of primary NHL of ovary, only one patient with AIDS-related primary ...

Indirect inguinal hernia containing an ovary is a rare condition, especially in adult women who do not have any other genital tract anomalies. In addition, inguinal hernia containing an ovary and endometriosis is exceedingly rare. In the present report, we describe a case of indirect inguinal hernia containing an ovary, fallopian tube, and endometriosis. Laparoscopic repair was performed succes...

Cryopreservation of intact human ovary with its vascular pedicle—or cryopreservation of hemiovaries? Sir, We read with interest the manuscript of Bedaiwy et al. (2006) entitled 'Cryopreservation of intact human ovary with its vas-cular pedicle', but feel there are some important details that the authors need to address for a clearer understanding of their work. First, we do not agree with the t...

The importance of several ovary-selective/specific genes, i.e. genes preferentially or exclusively expressed in the ovary, has been established. Indeed, null mutant female mice for the c-mos, growth and differentiation factor-9, alpha-inhibin, and zona pellucida-3 genes proved sterile. A loss of function mutation of the human FSH receptor gene established its critical role in ovarian function. ...

the organization of gall on the ovary ofsesamum indicum l induced by the gall midge, asphondylia sesami felt, not only affects biochemical equilibrium of the host but also causes disturbed vegetative growth and reduced seed-setting. the toxicity created by the gall maker induces the re-orientation of vasculature cecidogenetic stimuli lead to excessive hypertrophy and hyperplasy forming the gall...

this study was designed to investigate the effect of environmental factors on the appearance of polycystic ovaries (pco) during the first two decades of life. ninety-four female-female twins who underwent a transabdominal ultrasound at the royal hospital for women were sent a questionnaire asking about their birth details, feeding history as a baby, childhood illnesses and vaccination as well a...

background: our preliminary data on the protein expression of sort1 in ovarian carcinoma tissues showed that sortilin was overexpressed in ovarian carcinoma patients and cell lines, while non-malignant ovaries expressed comparably lower amount of this protein. in spite of diverse ligands and also different putative functions of sortilin (ntr3), the function of overexpressed sortilin in ovarian ...
