Objective. The most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) deficiency due to mutation of the CYP21A2 gene. Patients with nonclassical CAH (NC-CAH) are usually asymptomatic at birth and typically present in late childhood, adolescence, or adulthood with symptoms of excessive androgen secretion. Subfertility is relative in NC-CAH, but the incidence of sponta...

Objective The endometrial hyperplasia measured by ultrasound in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women is strongly related to pathologic endometrial thickness, but there is no consensus on the relation between serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and either of these factors: pathologic endometrial hyperplasia and body mass index (BMI). MaterialsAndMethods In this observational cross-sectional study, ...

BACKGROUND The differential diagnosis between atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma is often difficult and based on controversial criteria. Cell kinetic parameters may be helpful. DESIGN Cell proliferation, apoptosis and Bcl-2 expression were evaluated in benign endometrium, non atypical and atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma. The results were comp...

This article is devoted to two different generalizations of projective Boolean algebras: openly generated Boolean algebras and tightly σ-filtered Boolean algebras. We show that for every uncountable regular cardinal κ there are 2 pairwise non-isomorphic openly generated Boolean algebras of size κ > א1 provided there is an almost free non-free abelian group of size κ. The openly generated Boolea...
