Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia (PCOD) is a subtype of cemento-osseous dysplasia that usually occurs in middle-aged black women. This report described a case of a 45-year-old Iranian woman who was diagnosed with PCOD on the basis of cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) findings. CBCT enabled detailed visualization of the bone changes. This report described the special radiographic charact...

Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. The pathogenesis is not completely clear still today. Problems in inducing ovulation in PCOD is well recognized. A retrospective study of last 3 years in patients attending the OPD in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, JNMC, Sawangi, Wardha, who were diagnosed as cases of PCOD with co...

In order to test the hypothesis that endogenous opiates are at least partially responsible for hyperinsulinaemia in patients with polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), the effect of naloxone (an opiate receptor blocker) on the insulin response to oral glucose load (OGTT) was studied in 20 women with PCOD and 17 control subjects at days 5-8 of their follicular phase. After fasting overnight for 10-...

AIM To present a case report describing the long-term behaviour of periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia by observing the radiographic changes that took place over a period of 12 years. A review of the pertinent literature is also presented. SUMMARY A healthy 26-year-old white female was referred to the Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center Endodontic Department for evaluation of an asymptomatic ra...

PCOS, features and diagnosis Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrinological disorder among women of fertile age. The history of PCOS dates back to 1721. Sclerocystic changes were pointed out in the human ovary as early as 1844. However, the disorder was first described in 1935 by Stien & Leventhal in women who presented with amenorrhea, infertility and bilateral enla...

OBJECTIVETo determine the pregnaflcy outcome with letrozole as an ovulation inducing agent in infertile pa tients. METHOD A Randomized clinical trial was conducted on 250infertile patients attending the outpatient department. Letrozole wa s administered as 5 mg tablets from day 3 to 7 of menstruation after a preliminary day 2 LH level and baseline ultrasound. RESULTS Letrozole given alone had a...

Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) is most common endocrine disorder in women. Symptoms are variable and often involve more than one body function. The major clinical features are hirsutism, menstrual irregularities, obesity, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, polycystic ovaries (PCO). Other characteristics include malepattern balding, acanthosis negricans, sleep apnea with increased risk for...

Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia (PCOD) is a rare benign lesion, often asymptomatic, in which fibrous tissue replaces the normal bone tissue, with metaplasic bone and neo-formed cement. We present a rare case of mandibular PCOD in a woman of 55 years, who presented with moderate swelling and mobility of teeth 32-33-34. Endoral radiography showed that these teeth had been devitalized; they h...

Since the introduction of the population consequences of disturbance (PCoD) conceptual model, lost energy has become a central component of modelling biologically meaningful disturbance. Long-term datasets on northern elephant seals of Año Nuevo, CA and bottlenose dolphins of Sarasota Bay, FL span several environmental disturbances, allowing us to quantify how behavior, physiology, and vital ra...

Androgen receptor (AR) modulation in human uteri and ovaries of long term androgen-treated transsexual female patients was investigated. Androgen receptor expression was evaluated immunohistochemically in the ovaries of 11 and the endometria and myometria of six androgen-treated transsexual female patients. This was compared with AR expression in the ovaries and uteri of premenopausal and postm...
