background: increasing serum levels of uric acid (sua) after menopause in women brought up a hypothesis that estrogenic effect may protectively regulate sua. estrogenic effect is a major etiology of uterine fibroids and fibrocystic breast disease. the study aimed to explore sua among patients suffering from these diseases to enhance the hypothesis. methods: overall , 1349 female participants we...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this guideline is to provide clinicians with an understanding of the pathophysiology, prevalence, and clinical significance of myomata and the best evidence available on treatment modalities. OPTIONS The areas of clinical practice considered in formulating this guideline were assessment, medical treatments, conservative treatments of myolysis, selective uterine artery oc...

INTRODUCTION Hysteroscopic management of submucosal fibroids using the intrauterine morcellation technique is increasingly being adopted worldwide but no literature concerning its safety and efficacy is available within our local population. We aimed to determine the safety, satisfaction, and efficiency of hysteroscopic intrauterine morcellation of submucosal fibroids, and to compare this techn...

Uterine fibroids are considered one of the most common benign tumors reproductive system. This disease ranks second (20–50 %) among causes hospitalization in gynecological hospitals.
 The aim study is to evaluate effect homocysteine levels on state uterine fibroids.
 Materials and Methods. involved 112 women: 60 with 52 without fibroids. General clinical, biochemical, ultrasound, stat...

Uterine fibroids are smooth muscle tumors originating from myometrium of females between 30-50 years age. The presence does not lead to mortality, but it may be the cause serious morbidity as well greatly affect quality life affected females. Leiomyomas most significant pathological condition child-bearing age group globally, still options for treatment limited. Homoeopathy addresses this probl...

Uterine fibroids are common reproductive-age benign tumors that contribute to severe morbidity and infertility. Cumulative incidence is 4 times higher in Africian-Americans compared to Caucasians and constitutes a major health disparity challenge. Fibroids are the leading indication for hysterectomy and their management averages $21 billion annually in the US. No long term minimally invasive th...

BACKGROUND Spontaneous cessation of growth is a frequent finding in uterine fibroids. Increasing evidence suggests an important role of cellular senescence in this growth control. Deciphering the underlying mechanisms of growth control that can be expected not only to shed light on the biology of the tumors but also to identify novel therapeutic targets. METHODS We have analyzed uterine leiom...

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) closes the blood supply to the uterine arteries, causing death of the tissue and shrinkage of the fibroids. In UAE the patient is sedated and given only local anesthesia. The procedure is performed by an interventional radiologist. A catheter is inserted through a small incision in the groin and threaded through the femoral artery to the uterine arteries (Figur...

Background/introduction Enhanced sonication (ES) is a newer technique to ablate symptomatic uterine fibroids. ES uses nearly twice the amount of energy and is able ablate nearly twice the region of interest compared to standard sonications. As a result, more volume of uterine fibroids are able to be treated within the same amount of time. The objective of the multi-center trial was to evaluate ...
