Hyperemesis gravidarum can cause various vitamin deficiencies. Vitamin K deficiency can lead to coagulopathy or hemorrhagic diathesis. A nulliparous Japanese woman with hyperemesis gravidarum at 10(5/7) weeks was admitted with giant myoma, intestinal obstruction, and abdominal pain. Treatment for a degenerative myoma was instituted with intravenous antibiotics. The abdominal pain ameliorated, b...

PROBLEM To explore the roles of leptin, monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the peritoneal fluid (PF) in the pathogenesis of endometriosis-associated infertility. METHOD OF STUDY Leptin, MCP-1, and TNF-α levels in the PF from 28 infertile women with endometriosis (study group), 23 women with fallopian-associated infertility (controls), and 24 women with...

background: in fertile women, glycodelin and glutathione peroxidase 3 (gpx3) genes expression rises during the luteal phase, with a peak occurring during the implantation window. the expression of these genes decreases in women with myomas. to determine whether myomectomy would reverse glycodelin and gpx3 expression, we evaluated the transcript levels of these genes in the endometrium of patien...

The most frequent indications for hysterectomy were abnormal uterin...

Iatrogenic parasitic myomas are rare. The condition is defined by the presence of multiple smooth-muscle tumorous nodules in the peritoneal cavity. This may be attributable to seeding of myoma particles during uterine surgery. The clinical course is usually indolent. The disease is often asymptomatic and is usually discovered only incidentally. A 38-year-old woman who had undergone abdominal my...
