advances up to the time of publication that we have failed to find included in it. Though, perhaps, the work has become almost too big to recommend to the average student as a textbook, it is undoubtedly one which should be studied by all those who are reading for the higher examinations in Gynaecology, and it should find a place on the shelves of the library of every practitioner, as a standar...

Global changes in matters of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) are governed by the importance that diseases such as cervical-uterine cancer, HIV-AIDS, and other sexually transmitted infections or problems of a reproductive nature have acquired in the last 14 years. Until 2013, cervical-uterine cancer was the main cause of deaths due to cancer among women in Nicaragua (22% of total deaths due...

Hysterectomy is the most common major nonObstetrics operation undergone by women worldwide (Lin et al., 2012; Stang et al., 2012). It is a destructive surgery. Hysterectomy can be used to eradicate both malignant and non-malignant gynaecological diseases. Previousreports showed that hysterectomy rate for uterine leiomyoma was greater than all other indications combined, namely endometriosis, ut...

In the following article we are going to provide results of research on uterus’ structure in case fetuses with a gestational term 21-28 weeks from mothers, whose pregnancy was complicated by PE different severity stage (15 cases) comparing one mothers physiological cases). All have died intranatally as result an acute disorder uterine-placental and uterine-fetal circulation. The methods: macros...

DESIGN A cross-sectional baseline survey of participants in the Japan Nurses' Health Study. SETTING A nationwide prospective cohort study on the health of Japanese nurses. The baseline survey was conducted between 2001 and 2007 (n=49,927). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES ...

background: mullerian adenosarcoma, a rare tumor, is composed of mixed mesenchymal and epithelial elements. the epithelial component is typically benign and admixed with malignant sarcomatous stroma. this tumor can be distinguished in approximately 8% of all uterus sarcomas and commonly originates in the endometrium as a growing polypoid mass in the uterine cavity. all age groups are affected b...

Uterine sarcomas comprise a group of rare tumors with differing tumor biology, natural history and response to treatment. Diagnosis is often made following surgery for presumed benign disease. Currently, preoperative imaging does not reliably distinguish between benign leiomyomas and other malignant pathology. Uterine leiomyosarcoma is the most common sarcoma, but other subtypes include endomet...

Telomerase, a fundamental marker of neoplastic transformation, is widely expressed in both premalignant intraepithelial lesions and in most malignant lesions of the uterine cervix. We determined telomerase activity (TA) in uterine cervix by Repeat Amplification Protocol (TRAP) in a series of 62 cases, 44 with benign diseases (inflammation and/or metaplasia and/or acanthosis) and 18 with cervica...

Uterine myomas represent one of the most common female diseases. Uterine myomas or fibromas are benign, hormone-responding tumours of, respectively, smooth muscles and fibroblasts and their aetiology induces a significant interest. In myomas the presence of aromatase was detected and, in addition, oestrogen was found to be synthesized in myoma cells. The studies were performed on myoma patients...
