Endometriosis and Angiogenic Factors

Levels of circulating angiogenic cells are not altered in women with endometriosis.

STUDY QUESTION Are levels of circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) affected by the presence of endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER Levels of CACs are equivalent in women with and without endometriosis. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Murine models have suggested a role for CACs in the development of endometriosis, but their levels in humans have not yet been studied. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION Eighty-sev...

Asthma in women with endometriosis.

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate asthma prevalence and severity in women with and without endometriosis. METHODS Before laparoscopy, asthma prevalence was evaluated in 879 women of reproductive age, undergoing surgery because of benign gynaecological conditions. Diagnosis of bronchial asthma was based on the American Thoracic Society criteria; asthma severity was classified in fou...

comparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.

heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
