摘要:

ABSTRACTA 21% incidence of false‐positive hemagglutination inhibition tests for pregnancy associated with tubo‐ovarian abscess is described. Five illustrated cases and the causes for such false‐positive reactions are discussed. Substances generated by pelvic inflammatory masses may interfere with immunologic assays for pregnancy, resulting in misdiagnosis or inappropriate management.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe varying sonographic appearance of physiologic cysts in discussed and illustrated. Sonography can be used to make accurate diagnoses without operative intervention in selected cases of adnexal enlargement. An awareness of the diversity of morphology and rapidity of evolution of functional cysts will help to prevent unnecessary surgery.

摘要:

ABSTRACTA 24‐year‐old gravida 1 with benign molar pregnancy, which was evacuated after 12 weeks of amenorrhea, developed ovarian cysts that reached the costal margin. Afterwards, she developed thrombosis, which occluded the superior vena cava as well as the right axillary vein. Treatment with streptokinase, followed by heparin and warfarin sodium, apparently resulted in a clinically complete cure. The ovarian cysts regressed spontaneously, and regular menstrual cycles recurred.

摘要:

ABSTRACTA case of unilateral absence of a distal portion of Fallopian tube and ovary in association with a migratory calcified intraperitoneal mass is described. A review of the literature concerning this rare occurrence is summarized, and a discussion of the etiology of such an entity is presented. The surgical technique for removal of such a pelvic lesion through a posterior colpotomy incision and use of the laparoscope is also described.

摘要:

ABSTRACTAn early embryo at stage 5 of development is presented. The specimen's estimated age of about ten days makes it one of the youngest human products of conception on record. As such, it provides information on the earliest phases of human development.

摘要:

ABSTRACTDaily doses of 0.625 mg of conjugated estrogens were administered intravaginally for 14 days to 12 postmenopausal women (six with highly atrophic and six with slightly atrophic vaginal mucosa), resulting in vaginal mucosae similar to those found in premenopausal women in all 12 subjects. In a second experiment, serum estrogens, folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) were determined before and hourly for six hours after a single intravaginal dose of 0.625 mg of conjugated estrogens was given to five postmenopausal women and to five premenopausal women on cycle days 6‐8. Serum levels of unconjugated immunoreactive estrogens and total estrone increased rapidly in four of five postmenopausal women. Luteal phase values were found after only two hours, but there were no effects on serum FSH and LH. One of the postmenopausal women, who had an unatrophied vaginal mucosa, showed a considerable lower resorption of estrogens. There were no significant changes in the serum estrogen levels of the premenopausal women. Thus, we conclude that daily vaginal administration of 0.625 mg of conjugated estrogens for 14 days is sufficient to restore an atrophic vaginal mucosa to a premenopausal condition. Furthermore, the condition of the vaginal mucosa seems to influence the resorption, thus indicating an inbuilt mechanism of protection against overdosage of intravaginally applied estrogens.

摘要:

ABSTRACTRelaxation therapy was used to treat ten high school‐aged girls suffering from dysmenorrhea. A self‐judgment sheet was used to evaluate the results of the therapy. The treatment group improved significantly (p<0.01) on the symptoms “cramps” and “nausea,” and on “difficult to concentrate,” “unambitious” and “being irritable” (p<0.05).

摘要:

Two physiologic studies of menstrual blood loss in Egyptian women are presented below. In the first, an attempt was made to establish the normal range of menstrual blood loss of Egyptian women, to test their individual consistency in the amount of menstrual blood loss and to determine the iron requirements needed to compensate for iron loss and prevent iron deficiency anemia in menstruating Egyptian women. In the second, physiologic and other variables affecting the magnitude of menstrual blood loss in Egyptian women were investigated.

摘要:

ABSTRACTEleven patients with objective evidence of menorrhagia (>80 ml menstrual blood loss for two cycles) while fitted with an IUD were treated during three consecutive menstruations with the prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor naproxen. Menstrual blood loss was significantly reduced (p<0.001) from a pretreatment value of 131 ± 12 ml to 88 ± 9 ml on naproxen therapy. In the cycle following naproxen therapy, menstrual blood loss returned to the pretreatment level of 129 ± 10 ml. Continued IUD usage was made more acceptable by naproxen therapy.

摘要:

ABSTRACTIntrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) removed from 50 Igbo women were subjected to bacteriologic studies. High vaginal swabs from the women were cultured simultaneously. In 49 of the 50 IUDs, the culture was negative. The author concludes that the African IUD wearer, like her Caucasian peer, can safely combat any bacterial nidus introduced during device insertion.
