The aim of this review was to assess critically the importance of the frequency, quantity and quality of retrograde menstruation and its relationship to peritoneal inflammation. The basis was the current evidence in women and in baboons sup…

In a preliminary study the hypothesis was tested that cytokine profiles in peripheral blood were higher in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis and cytokine profiles in peritoneal fluid were higher in women with superficial endometrio…
ObjectiveOur purpose was to test the hypothesis that menstruation and intrapelvic injection of endometrium for the induction of endometriosis affect inflammatory parameters in peritoneal fluid from baboons.Study designIn the first part of t…
A case-control study was designed to determine the possible association between chronic exposure to dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and the occurrence of endometriosis. The study group consisted of 42 infertile endometriosis c…
ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis that diagnostic laparoscopy can cause pelviperitoneal inflammation.DesignRetrospective analysis of data collected during a prospective controlled study in baboons.SettingAn academic research environment.Anima…
ObjectiveTo review the value of the baboon as a model for the study of endometriosis.Data identification and selectionStudies performed at the Institute of Primate Research in Nairobi, Kenya (1990-1994), and published in peer-reviewed journ…
BackgroundThis study was performed to test the hypothesis that endometriosis undergoes regression during pregnancy.MethodsThis study was performed on 11 baboons with histologically proven endometriosis, housed at the Institute of Primate Re…
OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of spontaneous endometriosis over a 32-month period in baboons with initially normal pelves. METHODS: In this observational longitudinal study, which was performed at the Institute of Primate Research, …
This study was done to test the hypothesis that the incidence and recurrence of retrograde menstruation is higher in baboons with spontaneous endometriosis than in those without. A total of 399 laparoscopies was performed on 113 female babo…
ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis that a recent corpus luteum (CL) without fresh ovulation stigma (OS) can be found with a higher incidence and recurrence in baboons with endometriosis and is associated with a reduced egg recovery rate after …
ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis that spontaneous endometriosis is a progressive disease in baboons.Design and settingProspective cohort study, Institute of Primate Research, Nairobi, Kenya.ParticipantsTwelve baboons with histologically prov…
BACKGROUND: It is not known whether stress affects the prevalence of endometriosis in women. Baboons with spontaneous endometriosis may be interesting models to study the human disease. For baboons, living in captivity is a period of chroni…
ObjectivesTo determine if microscopic endometriosis exists in visually normal pelvic peritoneum from baboons with and without endometriosis.DesignObservational histologic study at Institute of Primate Research, Nairobi, Kenya.SubjectsSevent…
This study was performed to test the hypothesis that anti-endometrial, lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity and natural killer (NK) activity are reduced in baboons with endometriosis when compared to animals with a normal pelvis. Lymphocyte-med…
ObjectiveThe Sampson hypothesis of retrograde menstruation as a cause of endometriosis was tested by determining the effect of intrapelvic injection of menstrual versus luteal endometrium on the incidence, peritoneal involvement, and stage …
