Objective The objective of the study was to investigate whether precipitated egg white could be used as a sealant for iatrogenic injury to fetal membranes. Study Design Membranes were collected,…
Objective The objective of the study was to determine whether pretreatment of fetal or maternal placental vasculature with 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-P) attenuates the vasoactive effect of the thromboxane mimetic U46619….
Objective Glucocorticoid administration to women in preterm labor improves neonatal mortality and morbidity. Fetal exposure to glucocorticoid levels higher than those appropriate to the current gestational stage has multiple organ…
Objective Molar pregnancy is associated with very early-onset preeclampsia. Since excessive circulating antiangiogenic factors may play a pathogenic role in preeclampsia, we hypothesized that molar placentas produce more antiangiogenic proteins…
Objective Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a relatively common chronic inflammatory disorder of the skin and mucosal surfaces. Study Design A total of 29 women with histologically confirmed, active LS were…
Objective The aim of this study was to compare carcinomatosis scores, and to determine their relevance to predict resectability, morbidity, and outcome. Study Design From 2005-2008, 61 patients underwent surgery…
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of lymph node dissection in patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia. Study Design Patients undergoing surgical management of atypical endometrial…
Objective On the basis of outcome data from concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma, the authors developed a nomogram for predicting survival outcome. Study Design Two…
Objective Menopause-associated insomnia is commonly associated with other symptoms (hot flashes, depression, anxiety). Given frequent symptom cooccurrence, therapies targeting sleep may provide an important approach to treatment during midlife. Study…
