The concentration of LH (hCG) receptors in the granulosa cells of ovarian follicles was assayed in 20 patients with histologically proven endometriosis and in 6 control patients. The levels of receptors in 15 patients with ovarian endometri…
Seven healthy women, aged 21–36 yr, were treated with metoclopramide (MC; 10 mg 3 times daily orally) from the 2nd to the 22nd cycle day over 2 consecutive menstrual cycles in order to investigate the effects of hyperprolactinemia on female…
Ovarian adenocarcinomas of endometrioid type were studied by different histological and histochemical technics to determine their morphologic criteria, the development of these tumors as well as their relationship to different conditions of…
Cytosol estrogen (ER) and progestin (PR) receptors were quantified in 47 endometriosis lesions from 41 patients and compared with receptor measurements in the endometrial tissue of nine of these patients. Half of the specimens of endometrio…
Retrospective evaluation of 137 patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma was attempted 4-12 years after therapy. The operation was radical or almost radical in 56 cases (40.8%). Postoperative treatment consisted of single-drug (N = 53) or m…
Abstract Some human ovarian malignancies respond favorably to hormone therapy. In order to obtain more information about the endocrine properties of these malignancies, we measured estrogen (ER) and progestin (PR) receptors in 21 malignant …
Two hundred and eight patients treated surgically for endometriosis were reviewed one to four years later. The incidence of endometriosis in this survey was 17 per cent of all gynecological laparotomies. After operation, 30 per cent of the …
The serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and, prolactin (PRL) were measured before and after gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) and thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation in 17 patients …
Prostaglandins (PGs) may be involved in the development of the symptoms of endometriosis. Therefore 18 patients with pelvic endometriosis were treated in placebo controlled double-blind trial with different prostaglandin biosynthesis inhibi…
The prostaglandin biosynthesis inhibitors ketoprofen and indomethacin were compared in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea in a double-blind, cross-over trial involving 23 patients. Each drug was used for 2-4 days during 3 consecutive men…
