Nonparametric linkage analysis is widely used to map susceptibility genes for complex diseases. This paper introduces six nonparametric statistics for measuring marker allele sharing among the affected members of a pedigree. We compare the …
Endometriosis is gynaecological disorder, characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is the most common cause of pelvic pain and occurs in 20-25% of women with infertility. Although Sampson first descri…
Accessible online at: www.karger.com/goi In this issue of Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, the review of David Redwine clearly shows that invisible microscopic endometriosis, if well defined and well examined, is very rare [1]. Simi…
A possible association between endometriosis and spontaneous abortion has been suggested in mostly uncontrolled and/or retrospective studies. Some controlled studies evaluating the association between endometriosis and spontaneous abortion …
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, …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate how long an ovulation stigma remains visible as determined by serial laparoscopies performed during the luteal phase in baboons. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: Sixteen female baboons with a normal pelvis (n = 6) and with e…
In women with endometriosis, changes in peripheral blood and peritoneal fluid white blood cell (WBC) populations have been reported, but it is known whether these alterations are casually related to or a consequence of endometriosis. The pu…
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…
OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that fertility is reduced in baboons with endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective controlled follow-up study. SETTING: Institute of Primate Research, Nairobi Kenya. SUBJECTS: Seventy-one baboons, including 3…
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…
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…
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that immunosuppression increases the development and progression of endometriosis in baboons. DESIGN: Experimental controlled study. SETTING: Institute of Primate Research, Nairobi, Kenya. PARTICIPANTS: …
