BACKGROUND c-Kit is a proto-oncogene that encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor (CD117). Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a useful marker for demonstrating thrombocyte function. We aimed to investigate whether c-kit is expressed in benign, preneoplastic and neoplastic endometrial tissues and whether MPV has a relation with c-kit expression and its intensity. MATERIALS AND METHODS c-Kit expression w...

BACKGROUND Management of endometrial precancerous lesions has been of much debate due to inconsistencies in their classification, natural history and histologic diagnosis. Endometrial hyperplasia constitutes a wide range of histomorphologic features associated with high intra and interobserver diagnostic variability.Although traditional microscopic diagnosis is by far the most applicable method...

background: induction of ovulation in art is necessary for superovulation and the side effects of superovulatory drugs are debated. oxytocin as a natural hormone, have receptors and is synthesized by several reproductive organs. preovulatory presence of oxytocin receptor mrnas in granulosa cells indicating a role for oxytocin in follicular development. objective: the aim of the present study wa...

endometrial calcification along with ossification is an uncommon clinical entity. most of the cases are asymptomatic or present with secondary infertility. endometrial ossification associated with repeated abortions has been reported very infrequently. here we report a case of endometrial calcification with ossification  due to retained fetal bony tissue in a 38 year old symptomatic female havi...

Secretion of proteins by the endometrium of pigs during pregnancy is reported to be influenced by progesterone and estrogen. The effect of estrone treatment from d 30 to 45 of pregnancy on endometrial protein secretion and uterine capacity was tested in unilaterally hysterectomized-ovariectomized (UHO) gilts. Ten intact and 16 UHO crossbred gilts were mated and assigned to the following treatme...

Objectives: To investigate the clinical effects of transcervical interstitial microwave irradiation of adenomyotic tissues as an alternative to hysterectomy. Methods: Thirty-three patients who were candidates for hysterectomy for the treatment of adenomyosis associated with menorrhagia were treated by interstitial microwave irradiation using a specifically developed transabdominal ultrasound pr...

objective: in order to evaluate the endometrium by ultrasound in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (coh) with clomiphene citrate (cc) and human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg) with intrauterine insemination (iui) to determine the relationship between endometrial pattern and thickness on pregnancy rate (pr). methods: in this prospective study, 108 infertile couples underwent ...

We describe a patient with a histologically verified undifferentiated endometrial cancer who initially declined treatment, thus permitting study of the in vivo growth kinetics of the tumor. 266 days later, the patient was diagnosed with extensive symptomatic pelvic, abdominal, mediastinal, lung and supraclavicular metastases confirmed by imaging. During the untreated phase of 9.2 months, the tu...

objective: the endometrial hyperplasia measured by ultrasound in polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) women is strongly related to pathologic endometrial thickness, but there is no consensus on the relation between serum luteinizing hormone (lh) and either of these factors: pathologic endometrial hyperplasia and body mass index (bmi). materials and methods: in this observational cross-sectional stu...
