midst of the ongoing debate on the extent and therapeutic value of lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer. Several groups have recognized that preoperative and intraopera-tive identification of low risk patient groups may allow the omission of lymphadenectomy thereby averting unnecessary morbidity and reducing costs while potentially achieving favorable oncologic outcomes [1-9]. Although the rol...

OBJECTIVE To determine the antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects of melatonin on endometrial explants, the distribution of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), the activity of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the rat endometriosis model. DESIGN Prospective, placebo-controlled experimental study. SETTING Expe...

  Background: AUB is a common cause of women’s referring to gynecologists. Although hysteroscopy is known as the gold standard technique for diagnosing the cause of AUB, sonohysterography is less invasive, and it is performed by general gynecologists. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of sonohysterography compared to the results of the endometrial biopsy, guid...

The endometrial stromal nodule is a benign tumor composed of differentiated endometrial stromal cells arranged as a well circumscribed nodule with smooth non-invasive margins. They are rare neoplasms, diagnosed in most instances by microscopy. Although nodules are benign in nature, hysterectomy is the treatment of choice to enable evaluation of the tumor margins which are well demarcated in...

Background: Despite recent technical improvement in assisted reproductive techniques (ART), the implantation rate per embryo still remains low (15%). The aim of the study is to determine whether the failure of IVF cycle is associated with endometrial thickness on the day of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) administration. Materials and Methods: Endometrial thickness of two hundred and seven p...

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 aim of this study was to investigate the percentage of the stem cells population in human endometrial tissue sections and cultured cells at fourth passage. methods: human endometrial specimens were divided into two parts, one part for morphological studies and the other part for in vitro culture. full thickness of human normal endometrial sections and cultured endometrial cells ...
