The purpose of the presented study was to evaluate the performance of a novel contact-free under-the-mattress sensor in prediction of women's fertile window (FW), at home environment. 30 normal-ovulatory women at the age of 22-40 years took part in the study. Heart rate, heart rate variability, and respiration rate values were measured during a period of 3-6 months. These measurements were reco...

Uterine visualization was found as a transient finding in the early phases of the biphasic and triphasic bone scans in 29 of 29 postmenarchial adolescent and young adult females studied regardless of phase of the menstrual cycle. This observation differs from reports of uterine uptake in Meckel's scanning where visualization occurred only in the menstrual or secretory phases of the cycle. None ...

Colonial variants of Neisseria gonorrhoeae differing in color and opacity characteristics are distributed differently between male urethral and female cervical cultures. Colonial characteristics of cultures isolated from female cervices differ with time of isolation within the menstrual cycle and use of oral contraceptives. These differences may reflect selective forces in the ecology of the ce...

The ability of complement in human menstrual blood and cervical mucus to kill Trichomonas vaginalis was compared with that of complement in serum, and 95 fresh trichomonal isolates obtained from vaginal wash material were evaluated for susceptibility to complement immediately after isolation. Only serum and menstrual blood with haemolytic activity produced total cytolysis of T vaginalis. The cy...
