background: hormonal changes as a factor influencing the emotional state of women have an important role in the incidence of suicide. the aim of this study is to investigate changes in fsh-lh, estrogen, and progesterone hormones in women attempting suicide by drugs and chemicals. methods: in this cross-sectional study, women of reproductive diagnosed with drug and chemical poisoning who were ho...

Introduction: Various phases of menstrual cycle not only affect reproductive system but other systems also. So this study was performed to see effect of various phases of menstrual cycle on nasal mucosa. Materials and methods: Study was performed on 30 healthy female medical students of 18-24 years having regular menstrual cycles. Nasal mucociliary clearance (NMC) time was recorded during menst...

Background: In recent years, numerous regulators of gonadal function have been studied. Adenosine deaminase(ADA) is widely distributed throughout human tissues and may contribute in the regulation of menstrual cycle. The purpose of this study was to determine the plasma activities of total adenosine deaminase (ADAT), and its isoenzymes, ADA1 and ADA2, and ADA1/ADA2 ratio during the menses, foll...

Research indicates pain may be influenced by the menstrual cycle. While the mechanisms underlying these effects are unclear, it is possible that menstrual phase-related changes in endogenous pain modulation contribute. The present study used well-validated methods to study affective modulation of pain and the nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) in healthy women during two menstrual phases (mid-fol...

BACKGROUND Previous studies of the relationship between the menstrual phases and smoking behavior have been problematic, so the association of menstrual phases with smoking behavior and correlations among smoking, psychological and physical conditions in each phase of the menstrual cycle are unclear. METHODS To accurately examine the association between menstrual phases and the amount of smok...

Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle may influence on muscular tensions and probably alter occlusal force. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether hormonal levels affect maximum occlusal force (MOF) of healthy women throughout the different phases of the menstrual cycle. Sixty complete dentate subjects who were not under use of oral contraceptives were selected to participate ...

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...

The corollary follow up study carried presents variation in electrolyte content of serum during menstrual, follicular, ovulatory and luteal phases of menstrual cycle. Variation in sodium, potassium and chloride were found to be parallel with each other. Their level increase significantly from follicular to ovulatory phase and falls significantly during luteal phase. Bicarbonate levels are highe...

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: Although the coordinated sequence of hormonal changes during the normal menstrual cycle are well characterized, whether similar or parallel changes occur in the distribution of various electrolytes has not been clearly established. Materials and methods: This corollary follow up study on 50 healthy normal menstruating females presents variation in serum calcium, magnesium, sodium an...
