Carcinosarcoma of the Müllerian system is an uncommon tumor. We report here a case of extra-uterine carcinosarcoma from pelvic wall, presenting 11 years after hysterectomy. Accidental surgical implantation of endometrioid cells is suggested…

To understand the mechanism of biological action of gestrinone (R2323), which has a therapeutic effect against endometriosis, the binding of gestrinone to numerous classes of intracellular steroid binding proteins was studied in the human u…

Tubo-ovarian abscess in postmenopausal women is a distinct and rare entity. The disease is usually diagnosed on the operating table and its high rate of postoperative complications and mortality commands special attention. By presenting our…

During the 1970s, surgery undertaken to remedy infertility at Sabbatsberg Hospital in Stockholm involved macrosurgical techniques. The patients described here had the same pathology on either side. Sixty-three underwent different procedures…

To differentiate between ovarian carcinoma and benign ovarian tumor, we compared alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBD), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and its isoenzyme activities in serum in 115 patients with ovarian carcinoma and benign …

In double-blind, crossover studies, piroxicam was compared with naproxen sodium and with placebo. The different parameters studied were pain intensity, patient's opinion of the drugs tested, complementary pharmacological treatment, ability …

A case of unilateral ureteral obstruction in extensive endometriosis in a 21-year-old patient is reported. The present patient received danazol therapy following conservative surgery, and restoration of the renal function was achieved 5 mon…

Specific estradiol (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) in the tumor cytosol of 54 patients with primary ovarian cancer were examined. Also 30 benign ovarian neoplasms and 19 normal ovaries were analysed. Of the malignant tumors, 46% contai…

Details of medical history, symptomatology, operative findings and certain other special features are reported for patients with external endometriosis treated operatively during the period 1969-76. The incidence of endometriosis in this su…

In the present phase II trial, 26 heavily pretreated patients with advanced recurrent ovarian carcinoma were treated with tranexamic acid, 4-6 g per os daily for at least 3 months. Of these 26 patients, 3 had stage IIb, 21 stage III and 2 s…

We present a case of extragenital endometrioid cystadenofibroma, whose rare pelvic localization is the motive for its publication, as no similar case had been described previously. Its possible histogenesis from a pelvic mesothelium, as wel…

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…

Ultrastructural observations on stigmas in rat ovarian follicles have been performed by scanning electron microscopy. Stigmas were classified into two types under a dissecting microscope; extensively bulging vesicles (bleb-type stigmas) and…

Nine patients with unilateral uretero-vaginal fistula afer hysterectomy were seen over a 9-year period. In 5 patients radical pelvic surgery combined with radiotherapy had been carried out because of carcinoma of the cervix. In one patient …

Hysterometry, a method for quantitative evaluation of the effect of pharmacologically active agents on the myometrium, has been applied to determine the effect of an oral contraceptive on uterine tonicity. Hysterometry was performed on the …

Uterine tonicity has been determined by means of hysterometry on the first day of menstruation in 5 women with severe primary dysmenorrhea. The effect of intravenous infusion of salbutamol in a dose of 10 microgram/min was evaluated. The re…
