Fifteen highly neurotic women and 21 women who were low in neuroticism participated in this study. The women were surveyed three times over a single menstrual cycle during the mid-late luteal, menstrual, and late follicular phases. Each time, the participants were asked to use reappraisal to regulate their emotions, which were evoked by a sad film clip, and their subjective emotional experience...

midstream urine samples. Epithelial cell and erythrocyte counts in midstream urine specimens changed significantly during the menstrual cycle (Fig. 1). Epithelial cell counts during the luteal phase were higher than those during the other three phases in midstream urine. Erythrocyte counts during the menstrual phase were higher than those during the other three phases. Other cell counts did not...

background: the vegf is essential in the process of tissue remodeling and angiogenesis. limited data is available on the expression and regulation of vegf and its receptors in the human endometrium. the aim of this study was evaluation of expression patterns of vegf and flk-1 in human endometrium during the menstrual cycle. methods: sixty paraffin-embedded blocks of endometrial tissues from the...

BACKGROUND The human menstrual cycle is known to exhibit a significant amount of unexplained variability. This variation is typically dismissed as random fluctuations in an otherwise periodic and predictable system. Given the many delayed nonlinear feedbacks in the multiple levels of the reproductive endocrine system, however, the menstrual cycle can properly be construed as the output of a non...

Various studies have reported the effect of different phases of normal menstrual cycle on the autonomic control over the cardiac activity using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. However, information on cardiac autonomic activity in young females suffering from primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is scant. Hence, the aim of the present study was to assess the HRV and blood pressure (BP) in different ...

results there was a significant increase (p < 0.05) in leptin levels on day 14 (12.75 + 5.8 ng/ml) and day 21 (12.91 + 3.2 ng/ml) for age group 18-30 years compared to day 14 (11.60 + 3.2 ng/ml) and day 21 (11.60 + 3.2 ng/ml) for age group 31-40 years. leptin was positively correlated with fsh on day 14, with lh on day 7 and day 21; likewise, with progesterone on day 21 and day 28 and with estr...

BACKGROUND: Menstruation is a phenomenon unique to females and nearly universal experience in women's lives and is poorly understood. It is characterized by co-ordinate sequence of hormonal changes but the changes that occur in the distribution of hematological parameters, biochemical parameters have not been clearly established. AIMS: To compare Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), Serum tota...

The onset of menses for adolescents with physical or intellectual disabilities can affect their independence and add additional concerns for families at home, in schools, and in other settings. The pediatrician is the primary health care provider to explore and assist with the pubertal transition and menstrual management. Menstrual management of both normal and abnormal cycles may be requested ...

The results of previous studies on the menstrual-related sleep changes were inconsistent. The menstrual-related circadian sleep-wake and rest-activity rhythms changes are still uncertain. Using actigraphic monitoring of wrist activity, we investigated the sleep-wake and rest-activity patterns of 12 normally cyclic healthy women during reproductive life. Multivariate analyses were performed duri...
