Mindfulness-based psychological intervention for coping with pain in endometriosis
·doi:10.1080/19012276.2012.693727

Endometriosis is an important cause of pain and fatigue in fertile women. The disease is often overlooked in general medical practice, and significant delay from onset of symptoms to diagnosis and treatment is common. Severe cases cause chr…

Transvaginal ultrasonography of rectosigmoid endometriosis: interobserver variation of lesion size
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0412.2011.01308.x

This study evaluates the interobserver variation of transvaginal ultrasonographic measurements of the size of deep infiltrating endometriosis lesions in the rectosigmoid wall performed by an experienced and a less experienced sonographer. F…

Association of Interleukin-10 Promoter Polymorphism and Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2010.00888.x

PROBLEM: inflammatory processes are believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an important immunoregulatory cytokine. The biological actions are mainly inhibitory including inactivati…

Three‐dimensional ultrasound of deep infiltrating endometriosis involving the rectosigmoid colon
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0412.2010.01013.x

Sir, Recently, the use of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound and characteristics of deep-infiltrating endometriosis in general have been described (1). We would like to call attention to the use of 3D-transvaginal ultrasound as a new diagnos…

article 2010
Transvaginal ultrasonography of rectal endometriosis

Objectives: The aim of this present study was to evaluate the interobserver variation of transvaginal ultrasonographic measurements of endometriosis infiltrating the rectosigmoid wall. Methods: Transvaginal ultrasonography was performed ind…

Expression of the Epidermal Growth Factor System in Eutopic Endometrium from Women with Endometriosis Differs from That in Endometrium from Healthy Women
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000167798

BACKGROUND: The epidermal growth factor (EGF) system comprises four receptors, HER1-4, and several ligands, and is cyclically expressed in endometrium from healthy fertile women. Our aim is to identify differences in expression of the EGF s…

F181 Hormone replacement therapy after transcervical resection of the endometrium
·doi:10.1016/s0378-5122(97)81142-5
article 1996
Hormone replacement therapy after transcervical resection of the endometrium
·doi:10.1016/0029-7844(96)00308-0

OBJECTIVE: To determine if women who have undergone transcervical resection of the endometrium can be treated safely with estrogens alone. METHODS: Sixty-two postmenopausal women who had undergone endometrial resection were recruited into a…

article 1996

·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)58052-2
article 1996
The relationship between preoperative endometrial thickness, the anteroposterior diameter of the uterus and clinical outcome following transcervical resection of the endometrium
·doi:10.1046/j.1469-0705.1997.08060412.x

The objective of this study was to identify whether the endometrial thickness, or the anteroposterior diameter of the uterus as assessed by transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS), could be used to predict the clinical outcome following transcer…

article 1983
Aspects of Inhibition of Myometrial Hyperactivity in Primary Dysmenorrhea
·doi:10.3109/00016348309155202

Uterine hypercontractility is considered to be an important factor in primary dysmenorrhea. A survey is given on possible mechanisms controlling the cytoplasmic concentration of free calcium and thereby contractile activity in the myometria…

article 1983
Effects of calcium and nifedipine on noradrenaline- and PGF-2α-induced activity of the ampullary–isthmic junction of the human oviduct in vitro
·doi:10.1530/jrf.0.0670343

From 22 women undergoing hysterectomy at various stages of the menstrual cycle, strip preparations were dissected from the outer, longitudinal and the inner, circular smooth muscle layers of the ampullary-isthmic junction (AIJ). The strips …

The effect of danazol on the human female urethra.
Zentralblatt fur Gynakologie

The urethral pressure profile was recorded, at rest and under stress, from six women in fertile age, before and at the end of an eight-week treatment during which the probands received daily doses of 600 mg of Danazol. Only moderate decreas…

article 1978
Relaxing effects of Nifedipine on the nonpregnant human uterus in vitro and in vivo.

The effects of the calcium antagonist Nifedipine were investigated on isolated human myometrium and on uterine activity in healthy women during their first menstrual days. Nifedipine (0.01-1.0 microgram/ml) had a concentration-related inhib…
