Electropathy/Electrohomoeopathy is a comparatively modern medical technique that falls under the genre of complementary and alternative medicine. This was discovered in Italy 1865 by Count Ceaser Mattei. Its drugs are composed entirely herbal/medicinal plants manufactured with purified water sophisticated process extracting spagiric essence from medicinal at room temperature. Uterine fibroids n...

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors, the etiology of which is not understood. Symptoms can be debilitating, and the primary treatment is surgery, usually hysterectomy. Epidemiologic data show that pregnancy is associated with reduced risk of fibroids. We hypothesize that this association is attributable to a protective effect of postpartum involution of the uterus. After each pregnancy the uteru...

OBJECTIVE To assess selection criteria used to determine eligibility for magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids; to assess the percentage of patients suitable for MRgFUS. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective analysis of 144 patients seeking minimally invasive treatment options for symptomatic uterine fibroids at a single treatme...

Although uterine leiomyomata (also known as fibroids or myomas) affect the reproductive health and well-being of approximately 25% of premenopausal women, risk factors are poorly understood. Elevated diastolic blood pressure may increase fibroid risk through uterine smooth muscle injury, not unlike atherosclerosis. The authors prospectively examined the relation between diastolic blood pressure...

Fibrosis is the formation of excess and abnormal fibrous connective tissue as a result of either a reparative or reactive process. A defining feature of connective tissue is its extracellular matrix, which provides structural support and also influences cellular activity. Two common human conditions that result from fibrosis are uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) and keloid scars. Because these cond...

Defects in mitochondrial enzymes predispose to severe developmental defects as well as tumorigenesis. Heterozygous germline mutations in the nuclear gene encoding fumarate hydratase (FH), an enzyme catalyzing the hydration of fumarate in the Krebs tricarboxylic acid cycle, cause hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer; yet the connection between disruption of mitochondrial metabolic pat...

Uterine myoma is the most common benign uterine tumor in women of reproductive age and occurs in 20%-25% of the worldwide population. No currently approved medical treatment is able to completely eliminate fibroids. Surgery, particularly hysterectomy, predominates as the treatment strategy of choice, even though it is associated with risks and complications and causes infertility. Until recentl...

OBJECTIVE To review the literature on usage of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG IUS) in women with fibroids or adenomyosis in an attempt to develop a pragmatic approach when faced with enlarged uteri. DATA SOURCES Computerised searches of MEDLINE and EMBASE up to December 2000. Some of the information was obtained from references listed in the primary sources and references already...

SETTING A district general hospital and two private hospitals in the southeast of England. POPULATION Women with symptomatic fibroids who had been offered surgical options for treatment. METHODS Post...
