Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a significant social and public health issue for menstruating women. Development of targeted treatments has been limited by poor understanding of local mechanisms underlying HMB. We aimed to determine how gene expression differs in menstrual phase endometrium from women with HMB. Menstrual phase endometrial biopsies were collected from women with (n = 7) and witho...... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of a Low-Dose Contraceptive Patch on Efficacy, Bleeding Pattern, and Safety: A 1-Year, Multicenter, Open-Label, Uncontrolled StudyReproductive Sciences - Tập 21 - Trang 1518-1525 - 2014

This Phase III, uncontrolled, open-label, multicenter study was conducted to investigate the contraceptive efficacy, bleeding pattern, and cycle control of a novel once-a-week contraceptive patch, delivering low-dose ethinyl estradiol (EE) and gestodene (GSD) at the same systemic exposure seen after oral administration of a combined oral contraceptive containing 0.02 mg EE/0.06 mg GSD.

Enhanced Expression of P2X4 and P2X7 Purinergic Receptors in the Myometrium of Pregnant Rats in Preterm Delivery ModelsReproductive Sciences - Tập 16 - Trang 1186-1192 - 2009

The expression levels of P2X purinergic receptors were determined in the myometrium of pregnant rats using the quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of P2X4 and P2X7 were expressed most strongly. The expression levels of these receptors increased during the late stages of pregnancy; at the time of delivery, the mRNA levels of P2...... hiện toàn bộ
Intrauterine Morcellator Devices: The Icon of Hysteroscopic Future or Merely a Marketing Image? A Systematic Review Regarding Safety, Efficacy, Advantages, and ContraindicationsReproductive Sciences - Tập 22 - Trang 1289-1296 - 2015

The aim of this study was to analyze all available evidence regarding the use of intrauterine morcellator (IUM), for treatment of the most prevalent intrauterine benign lesions, compared to both traditional resectoscopy and conventional outpatient operative hysteroscopy in terms of safety, efficacy, contraindications, perioperative complications, operating time, and estimated learning curve. We re...... hiện toàn bộ
Programming of Endocrine Mechanisms of Cardiovascular Control and GrowthReproductive Sciences - Tập 8 - Trang 57-68 - 2001
Lucy R. Green
Several epidemiologic studies have linked size at birth to health in adult life. One school of thought centers on the part that periconceptual or intrauterine events play in this relationship. The idea is that an event, or several events, during critical periods of development can program, or permanently alter, fetal physiology resulting in altered size at birth and subsequent adult disease, inclu...... hiện toàn bộ

The Effect of Mild Hypothermia on Insulin-like Growth Factors After Severe Asphyxia in the Preterm Fetal SheepReproductive Sciences - Tập 12 - Trang 232-237 - 2005

Persistent reductions in insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels in the preterm infant are strongly associated with increased risk of retinopathy and other complications, and may result from exposure to severe hypoxia. The effects of a potential new treatment for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, cerebral hypothermia, on the responses of the IGF axis to hypoxia are unknown. The aim of this stud...... hiện toàn bộ
Feto-Maternal Interaction: A Mathematical Model Simulating Placental Response in Hypertensive Disorders of PregnancyReproductive Sciences - Tập 17 - Trang 963-969 - 2010

Elevated maternal blood pressure (BP) is common in pregnancies complicated by hypertensive disorders. In response, increased production and accumulation of elastin occurs in the feto-placental blood vessels. This results in increased vascular wall stiffness that increases the resistance to flow. To study the interaction between the stiffness of the fetoplacental blood vessels, fetoplacental blood ...... hiện toàn bộ
