MRL/MpJ (MRL) is a mouse model for autoimmune disease and develops ovarian cysts with age. The ovarian cysts originate from the rete ovarii, which is considered to be the remnant of fetal mesonephric tubules. In a previous study, we analyzed the genetic background of ovarian cysts by using backcross progenies between MRL and C57BL/6N (B6) mice. By interval mapping, suggestive linkages were dete...

ObjectiveTo review short- and long-term complications associated with intraoperative rupture of benign ovarian cysts.Data SourcesThe Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials, BIOSIS, Medline (Ovid), Web Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, Google Scholar were searched using the following terms their combinations: “spillage,” “rupture,” “leakage,” “ovarian cyst,” “teratoma,” “dermoid,” “operative,” “...

BACKGROUND Malignant transformation in endometriosis is a rare but well known complication. However, detailed mechanisms of malignant transition and tumourigenesis in endometriosis remain unknown. We here describe the case of an endometrioid carcinoma arisen in endometriotic ovarian cyst fulfilling Sampson's criteria for malignant transformation of endometriosis. We compared genetic alterations...

We present a simple filtering procedure for stabilizing the spectral element method (SEM) for the unsteady advection-diffusion and Navier-Stokes equations. A number of example applications are presented, along with basic analysis for the advection-diffusion case. Stabilisation par filtrage pour la méthode des éléments spectraux Résumé. Nous présentons une procédure simple de filtrage pour la st...

OBJECTIVE To compare clinical presentation of benign and malignant ovarian tumours and to enlist and identify symptoms that could lead to early diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma METHODS It was a consecutive case series study. All patients who on abdominal or bimanual examination and abdominal U/S were found to have ovarian cyst or tumour, and later underwent laparotomy were included. RESULTS T...

The aim of the present study was to induce ovarian cysts experimentally in cattle using ACTH and to closely examine the role of LH pulse frequency in ovarian cyst formation. Five regularly cycling Holstein-Friesian heifers (15-18-month-old) were used. Ovaries were scanned daily using an ultrasound scanner with a 7.5 MHz rectal transducer. Daily blood samples were obtained via tail venepuncture ...

BACKGROUND Health facility stock-outs of life saving malaria medicines are common across Africa. Innovative ways of addressing this problem are urgently required. We evaluated whether SMS based reporting of stocks of artemether-lumefantrine (AL) and rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) can result in reduction of stock-outs at peripheral facilities in Kenya. METHODS/FINDINGS All 87 public health facil...

Ovarian cyst is common incidental finding in humans and many animals and includes follicular cysts, cystic rete ovarii and mesonephric duct cysts. Ovarian cyst is often associated with reproductive disorders in humans and animals. We found accidentally bilateral cystic masses in ovaries in an African green monkey. Grossly, the left and right ovarian cystic masses were single unilocular cystic s...

We report here probably a huge ovarian cyst of size 7.9x16.4x23 cms which regressed on thyroxine therapy with severe autoimmune primary hypothyroidism in young woman. It is necessary to consider and other endocrine disorders the differential diagnosis adult patients multiple formation order prevent inadvertent surgery.
