To determine the efficacy and safety of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in patients with uveitic glaucoma, we retrospectively evaluated 17 eyes from 13 consecutive uveitic glaucoma cases who were treated with SLT due to inadequate int…

ObjectiveWe investigated how history of malignant neoplasia affected oocyte developmental competence.MethodsFifty-two cycles of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in women with a history of malignant disease (case group) were compared w…

BackgroundAdvanced glycation end-products (AGE), which accumulate with insulin resistance and aging, impair folliculogenesis and may decrease endometrial receptivity. Hishi (Trapa bispinosa Roxb.) extract, a safe herbal medicine, strongly i…

PURPOSE: To compare the diagnostic ability of reduced FOV diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging with that of 3D dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MR imaging in evaluating the depth of myometrial invasion in patients with endometrial cancer. METH…

PurposeTo evaluate the clinical diagnostic ability of computed diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for differentiating decidualized endometrioma from ovarian cancer.Materials and methodsComputed DWI technique was retrospectively applied to 20 …

PurposeExtra-ovarian endometriosis (EOE) usually appears as solid masses mimicking neoplasms both clinically and radiologically. Detection of blood products within a lesion may be suggestive of its endometriotic nature. We present a descrip…

BackgroundPrevious studies have investigated the impact of occupational risk factors on health outcomes among physicians. However, few studies have investigated the effects on pregnancy outcomes among physicians. In this study, we examined …

BackgroundThe epidemiology of intussusception, including its incidence, can vary between different countries. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of childhood intussusception in Japan using data from a nationwide inpatien…

Adenomyosis is a common nonneoplastic gynecologic disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium within the myometrium. On T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images, typical adenomyosis appears as an ill-demarcated low-signal…

BACKGROUND: Uterine endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy, and benign endometrial hyperplasia or polyps should be differentiated from endometrial cancer. In evaluating endometrial cancer on magnetic resonance imaging …

We report a case of polypoid endometriosis and correlate the MRI findings with the pathological findings. The polypoid endometriosis appeared as multiple polypoid masses protruding into the adjacent pelvic organs, including the uterus and r…

OBJECTIVE: Decidual changes of endometrial tissue in endometriomas during pregnancy may manifest as mural nodules and mimic malignant transformation. We evaluated magnetic resonance findings of decidualized ovarian endometriomas for the dif…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at 3 T compared with 1.5 T while focusing on the shading sign of endometrial cysts on T2-weighted images. METHODS: Fifteen ovarian endometrial cysts in 10 patients un…

OBJECTIVE: Susceptibility-weighted MRI combines magnitude and phase information from fully velocity-compensated gradient-echo sequences and depicts as signal voids the susceptibility effects caused by local inhomogeneity of the magnetic fie…

Malignant transformation is a rare complication of endometriosis. Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers are seen more often in younger women than are ovarian cancers without endometriosis, and early detection is important to improve the …

The endometrial cavity may demonstrate various imaging manifestations such as normal, reactive, inflammatory, and benign and malignant neoplasms. We evaluated usual and unusual magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the uterine endome…

We report a case of intrinsic-type ureteral endometriosis in a 28-year-old woman. She visited our hospital, complaining of lower abdominal pain. Drip infusion pyelography (DIP) showed left hydronephrosis, and left retrograde pyelography rev…
