Fluorescence diagnosis and photodynamic therapy with 5-aminolevulinic acid induced protoporphyrin IX are promising new options in the diagnosis and therapy of diseases in a wide spectrum of medical disciplines such as urology, dermatology, …
Einleitung: Die endoskopische Darstellung der Gewebeautofluoreszenz ist ein neues nicht-invasives optisch-diagnostisches Verfahren. Das Prinzip beruht auf der Lichtanregung bestimmter charakteristischer Gewebeautofluorophore, die nach Anreg…
Die bisherige medikamentöse Behandlung der Endometriose zielt im Wesentlichen auf eine ovarielle Supression mittels Östrogen-Gestagen-Kombinationen (Kontrazeptiva), bevorzugt im Langzyklus, Gestagen-Mono-Therapie (auch als Gestagenspirale, …
BACKGROUND: Although transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrievals (OR) are performed routinely worldwide, there is very little systematic data about its complications. METHODS: We performed a prospective cohort study following the peri…
Fragestellung: Die Endometriose ist eine häufige Erkrankung der reproduktiven Lebensphase der Frau. Die medikamentös-operative Standardtherapie führt oft nur zu vorübergehenden Therapieerfolgen mit einer hohen Rezidivrate. Dabei kann es zu …
Introduction: The L1 transmembrane glycoprotein regulating cell migration and adhesion is known to play an important role for the development of the nervous system. It is also present at high levels in several inflammatory and malignant dis…
Einleitung: Frauen mit Endometriose haben ein erhöhtes Risiko, später ein endometrioides oder klarzelliges Ovarialkarzinom zu entwickeln. Falls Endometriosepatientinnen zusätzlich unter langjähriger Infertilität leiden, erhöht sich die Stan…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reliability of diagnosing minimal and mild endometriosis under routine conditions, and to determine to what extent disease activity is taken into account. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force…
Endometriosis is an oestrogen-dependent disease that is treatable by oestrogen withdrawal, a therapy that has been effectively provided by the use of a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. Complete oestrogen withdrawal results in…
Endometriosis is an oestrogen-dependent disease that is treatable by oestrogen withdrawal, a therapy that has been effectively provided by the use of a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. Complete oestrogen withdrawal results in…
Pulmonary lesions and ureter involvement are rare complications of endometriosis. We describe the first case with an involvement of both sites in this condition. The radiographs showed "pulmonary metastases" together with clinical findings …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate changes in expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA in human endometrial explants in a chicken chorioallantoic membrane model of endometriosis. DESIGN: Experimental prospective study. SETT…
Due to the different pharmacological mode of action, GnRH-antagonists seem to open up new avenues to hormonal treatment in several indications. Although it may be still too early to speculate about the possible end of the era of GnRH-agonis…
The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is a useful model for the fluorescence diagnosis of experimentally induced endometriosis. In our experimental setup 75.7% of the histologically examined tissue preparations were viable and only 24.3% showe…
