Background: Menopause is universal phenomena which has adverse effect on health of women. The vaginal cytology by maturation value an inexpensive mean to evaluate hormonal influence in Objective was diagnose atrophic pH and peri post-menopausal women symptomatic as well asymptomatic. Methods: This study conducted 100 who attended Department Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Kamla Raja Hospital, G.R...

PURPOSE To compare the quality of 5-channel vaginal cylinder treatment plans for endometrial cancer to single channel and 9-channel plans. Using more channels tends to spare the rectum and bladder, while creating hot spots and longer planning and treatment times. The objective is to determine if the 5-channel plans offer a beneficial compromise to the single and 9-channel plans. METHODS Fifte...

BACKGROUND Syndromic management of vaginal infections is known to have poor diagnostic accuracy. Logic regression is a machine-learning procedure which allows for the identification of combinations of variables to predict an outcome, such as the presence of a vaginal infection. METHODS We used logic regression to develop predictive models for syndromic management of vaginal infection among sy...

Rat somatosensory cortex contains a large sexually monomorphic genital representation. Genital cortex undergoes an unusual 2-fold expansion during puberty. Here, we investigate genital cortex development and female rat sexual maturation. Ovariectomies and estradiol injections suggested sex hormones cause the pubertal genital cortex expansion but not its maintenance at adult size. Genital cortex...

background: oocyte maturation and subsequent in vitro production (ivp) of embryos are affected by diverse groups of chemicals in maturation medium which are needed for successful mammalian oocyte maturation during which the dramatic cytoplasmic and nuclear reprogramming events take place. this study was designed to evaluate the effects of protein source (fetal bovine serum, fbs, and bovine seru...

The understanding of the pathophysiology of female sexual dysfunction suffers from the lack of a convenient model for the study of female genital sexual response. In this study, systemic arterial blood pressure (BP) as well as partial oxygen tension, temperature, and blood engorgement of the vagina [using laser-Doppler flowmetry in arbitrary units (AU)] were measured in anesthetized, ovariectom...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of Carbopol gel formulations containing pilocarpine on the morphology and morphometry of the vaginal epithelium of castrated rats. METHODS Thirty-one female Wistar-Hannover rats were randomly divided into four groups: the control Groups I (n=7, rats in persistent estrus; positive controls) and II (n=7, castrated rats, negative controls) and the experimental G...

The opening of the mouse vaginal cavity to the skin is a postnatal tissue remodeling process that occurs at approximately five weeks of age for the completion of female genital tract maturation at puberty. The tissue remodeling process is primarily composed of a hormonally triggered apoptotic process predominantly occurring in the epithelium of the distal section of the vaginal cavity. However,...

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a disorder of the vaginal ecosystem characterized by a shift in the vaginal flora from the normally predominant Lactobacillus to one dominated by sialidase enzyme-producing mixed flora. It is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal discharge in adult women. The BVBlue system (Gryphus Diagnostics, L.L.C.) is a chromogenic diagnostic test based on the presence of ele...

This study aims to determine the ability of Modified Foam Stability (FS-50) test predict fetal lung maturity in preterm premature rupture membranes treated with Dexamethasone. The sample included pregnant women PROM at a gestational age 24 less than 34 weeks ER and Obstetrics Ward Sanglah Central General Hospital, Denpasar. patient underwent vaginal speculum examination collect fluid pooled vag...
