Background Endometriosis has been widely implicated as one of the causes of chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility. The purpose of our study was to define the presumed correlation between visual and histologic diagnostic features of endometriosis based on the peritoneal findings identified in laparoscopy as a diagnostic trial with a standardized technique. So, all the specimens inclu...

The Chemstrip LN (Boehringer Mannheim Biochemicals, Indianapolis, Ind.), designed to detect pyuria and bacteriuria, was compared with culture of 1,020 unselected, consecutive midstream urine specimens and evaluated on its ability to predict colony counts at three levels. At the level of greater than or equal to 10(5) CFU/ml, the combined test (detection of leukocyte esterase and nitrite) had se...

Previous studies showed that early age at menarche is associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome. However, the definition of early menarche at these studies was based on background data in the communities at which these studies was carried on. The aim of this work is to determine a cutoff for age at menarche discriminating presence or absence of metabolic syndrome in overweight/obese ...

In 271 Enterobacter blood culture isolates from 12 hospitals, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) prevalence varied between 0% and 30% per hospital. High prevalence was associated with dissemination, indicating the potential relevance of infection control measures. Screening with cefepime or Vitek 2, followed by a cefepime/cefepime-clavulanate Etest, was an accurate strategy for ESBL detect...

The reliability of history of varicella disease is also unclear. METHODS The prevalences of varicella antibody in immigrant children from six regions of the world were used in a cost-effectiveness model to calculate the antibody prevalence above wh...
