The provided “paper” text is not a biomedical research article but an informational webpage about open-access publishing platforms and related software/services (e.g., OJS, OMP, OPS) and general research on research conducted by PKP. It does not describe a biomedical study, patient population, histopathology methods, results, or limitations. Because the content contains no histopathological analysis of hysterectomy specimens or any biomedical findings, there is no basis to summarize research outcomes. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to explore the histopathological findings and the rate of removal of ovaries in hysterectomy specimens. This study took into account 328 hysterectomy specimens examined in the Department of Pathology, Mymensingh Medical College and in one private Pathology Laboratory in Mymensingh town from March to August, 2005. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections stained with haematoxylin and eosin were examined under light microscope. Patients' age, parts of uterus examined and their histopathological findings were retrieved from laboratory records. The common histopathological findings were: chronic cervicitis (87.80%), leiomyoma (17.07%), uterine prolapse (16.72%), adenomyosis (3.96), non-specific endometritis (3.35%), squamous cell carcinoma of cervix (2.44%), endometrial polyp (2.44%), serous cystadenoma of ovary (2.44%) and endometrial hyperplasia (1.83%). Some of the specimens show more than one lesions in the body of uterus, of which coexistence of adenomyosis and leiomyoma was the most common. Neoplastic lesions in cervix were 4.27%, in body 16.92% and in ovaries 5.06%. Malignant neoplasms were found in cervix 71.43%, in uterine corpus 3.03% and in ovaries 25%. Ovaries of both sides were removed in 48.17% of total cases. Their median age was 45 years, lowest age 23 years and maximum age was 82. The rate of removal of both ovaries was found to be increasing with the increase of age. Only one case was found to be subtotal hysterectomy and others were total hysterectomy. The present study revealed that the most common histopathological cause of hysterectomy is chronic cervicitis. Most common neoplastic cause of hysterectomy is leiomyoma. The rationalities and the possible after effect of hysterectomy in sexual functions and other physiological impairment should be followed up.

Home Making Research A Global PUblic Good Our open source publishing platforms for scholarly journals, monographs, and preprints are a leading force in the global embrace of open access to research for the benefit of all. Publishing Software Free, open source software to disseminate research and manage the entire scholarly publishing workflow from submission to indexing. For Journals Open Journal Systems (OJS) is the world’s most widely used journal management and publishing software. For Books Open Monograph Press (OMP) is an end-to-end solution for publishing books with full metadata. For Preprints Open Preprint Systems (OPS) provides everything needed to run a fully-featured preprint server for researchers. Hosting & Other Services As the original and ongoing source of OJS, OMP, and OPS development, we are a trusted service provider for journal, press, and preprint hosting and support; consultation and training; and sponsored development. Research on research PKP is truly a Research and Development (R&D) initiative. It has a history of investigating vital scholarly communication issues through data science, policy analysis, historical inquiry, economic modeling, activist legal studies, and other methods. This probing and poking works in concert with PKP’s software development, as well as its hosting and other services, to raise the standards for what scholars and the public can expect from research publications and preprints. Join us in advancing open access and open science PKP benefits from a wide array of contributors. Here’s a chance to develop, support, and research ways of increasing the public and scholarly qualities of journals, books, and preprints. We have certainly come to appreciate what a wide range of support, skills, talents, and languages that it takes to turn research into a greater public good on a global scale.
