Ovulation has long been associated with an increased risk in ovarian cancer, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain obscure. Two aspects of ovulation have been linked to ovarian cancer pathogenesis. The first is the impact of repetitive tissue injury and repair that occurs with each ovulatory event. The second is the release of follicular fluid that accompanies the follicular rupture an...

cows 2 weeks after parturition and in diestrous and proestrous heifers. Serum LH concentrations increased after LH-RH treatment and the greatest response was observed in cows with ovarian follicular cysts. Serum progesterone concentrations were increased at 6 hours after LH-RH in animals which had functional luteal tissue in the ovaries but serum estradiol and estrone were unchanged. Ovarian fo...

The mesothelial cysts of the round ligament uterus are rare. They misdiagnosed as ovarian/ para ovarian cysts, inguinal hernias, abscess. We report a case 48-years-old female with gradual painless distension abdomen. Up on explorative laparotomy cyst was seen arising from right ligament. Excision cystic mass done and pathologically confirmed cyst. Establishing accurate per operative diagnosis b...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is an uncommon, slow-growing, noninvasive mostly in the anterior maxilla with three well-recognized clinico-pathological variants: follicular, extra-follicular, and peripheral. Extra-follicular variant presents as a well-defined, unilocular, radiolucency between, above, or superimposed on roots of erupted tooth. A 19 years female reported chief complaint loos...

The aim was to determine the utility of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW MRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements in differentiation of endometrioma and hemorrhagic ovarian cyst. A total of 24 female patients who underwent pelvic MRI with an initial diagnosis of ovarian cyst were included in the study. The final diagnosis was endometrioma in 12 patients and he...

Absent or irregular ovarian cycles in lactating dairy cows are caused by failure to ovulate the dominant follicle at the appropriate time. The follicle then either regresses or develops into a cyst. This process can be triggered by a variety of metabolic and disease factors that act at the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to inhibit pulsatile LH secretion and the LH surge, and at the ovary to r...

BACKGROUND Ovarian tumors in reptiles are uncommonly reported in the literature and for green iguanas previously reported cases include teratomas, one adenocarcinoma and one papillary cystadenocarcinoma. The present report is the first of a malignant ovarian teratoma in a green iguana. Complete and detailed pathological features, differential diagnosis and surgical management of malignant ovari...

the aim of the present study was to develop an in vitro system for functional investigation of ovarian follicular cells in sterlet, acipenser ruthenus. oocytes for the primary culture were obtained from the ovaries of a 6 years old sterlet 729 g in weight and 47 cm in total length. the oocytes were in advanced vitellogenesis stage (pi >10). a part of the ovary (containing about 300 follicles) w...

N-Arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA, anandamide) was the first endocannabinoid to be identified and has since become associated with the mediation of several physiological functions and disease states. AEA has been isolated from numerous tissues and biofluids, in the low nanomolar range, using lipid extraction techniques with organic solvents. These techniques require the drying down of relatively ...

A first step to elucidating the roles that steroids may play in the processes of ovarian development and early follicular growth is to identify the cell types that are likely to be receptive to steroids. Thus, cell types expressing receptors for oestrogen (alpha and beta form; ERalpha and ERbeta respectively), androgen (AR) and progesterone (PR) were determined by in situ hybridisation and immu...
