Hyperreactio luteinalis associated with chronic renal failure. (1/426)
Hyperreactio luteinalis is a rare benign condition characterized by bilateral ovarian enlargement associated with pregnancies where high concentrations of maternal serum human chorionic gonadotrophins are present. This condition may mimic the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. We report a case of a 34 year old woman with a history of chronic renal failure on haemodialysis who presented at 10 weeks' gestational age with hyperreactio luteinalis which was treated conservatively. Because of chronic renal failure, the presentation and course of the disease was different from that which has been previously reported. (+info)Histopathological findings of the ovaries in anovulatory women. (2/426)
Wedge resection of the ovary was carried out in 45 anovulatory women to study the correlation between the degree of disturbance of ovulation and the histopathological findings. Polycystic ovary was always found in patients with anovulatory cycles. The ovaries in grade 1 amenorrhea showing withdrawal bleeding in response to gestagen alone belonged to the nonspecific type, polycystic type and sclerotic type. These histological changes were relatively mild in many cases. The ovaries in grade 2 amenorrhea showing withdrawal bleeding in response to estrogen and gestagen but not to gestagen alone belonged to the non-specific type, polycystic type, sclerotic type, atrophic type and streak type. Even within the same histological entity, the histological findings of the ovaries were more pronounced in grade 2 amenorrhea than in grade 1 amenorrhea. The patients with primary amenorrhea had only hypoplastic and aplastic ovaries with marked histological abnormalities. (+info)Ovarian cysts in women receiving tamoxifen for breast cancer. (3/426)
Tamoxifen is a nonsteroidal anti-oestrogen with gynaecological side-effects. Only recently, ovarian cyst formation during tamoxifen treatment has been reported. The present study aimed to evaluate patient-related parameters that determine ovarian cyst formation in women using tamoxifen for breast cancer. A cross-sectional study was performed in 142 breast cancer patients using tamoxifen. Forty-five patients were also examined prior to tamoxifen treatment. Gynaecological assessment, transvaginal ultrasonography (TVU) and serum oestradiol (E2) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) analysis were performed. Follow-up assessments were performed twice a year. Uni- or bilateral ovarian cysts were detected by TVU in 24 tamoxifen-using patients and in one patient before tamoxifen treatment. Multiple regression analysis showed that cyst development is related (multiple R = 0.73) to high E2 (P < 0.001), younger age (P < 0.001) and absence of high-dose chemotherapy (P = 0.007). Patients with ovarian cysts had higher serum E2 levels compared to patients without cysts (1.95 vs 0.05 nmol l(-1); P < 0.001). All patients after high-dose chemotherapy or older than 50 years had E2 < 0.10 nmol l(-1) and/or amenorrhoea > 1 year and did not develop ovarian cysts. Patients still having a menstrual cycle during tamoxifen had a high chance (81%) of developing ovarian cysts. Breast cancer patients receiving tamoxifen only develop ovarian cysts if their ovaries are able to respond to FSH stimulation as shown by E2 production. (+info)Vascular endothelial growth factor levels in ovarian cyst fluid correlate with malignancy. (4/426)
Ovarian cancer is a richly vascularized neoplasm with solid and cystic components. The purpose of this study was to determine whether cyst fluid could be used to quantitatively evaluate production of angiogenic factors in ovarian lesions. ELISA was used to measure vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in the cyst fluid of patients with ovarian cancer (n = 13), benign cysts and cystadenomas (n = 23), borderline tumors (n = 5), and functional cysts (n = 8). VEGF levels were markedly elevated in the fluid of malignant cysts (38.5+/-8.2 ng/ml) as compared with benign (1.6+/-0.4 ng/ml; P < 0.001), borderline (5.7+/-1.5 ng/ml; P < 0.001), or functional cysts (3.8+/-2.0 ng/ml; P < 0.001). The presence of VEGF in cancer cells was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Follow-up of patients with malignant and borderline lesions demonstrated a correlation between VEGF levels in cyst fluid and tumor recurrence (P = 0.03). bFGF in malignant cysts was either undetectable or very low (0.3+/-0.2 ng/ml), and no significant differences were found in bFGF levels among malignant, benign, borderline, and functional cysts. This study demonstrates that ovarian malignancy is associated with dramatic elevation of VEGF levels in ovarian cyst fluid. Conversely, there is no correlation between cyst fluid bFGF levels and malignant transformation. The high levels of VEGF in malignant cysts are consistent with the hypothesis that this growth factor plays an important role in ovarian cancer related-angiogenesis and tumor progression and represents a potentially important target of antiangiogenic therapy. (+info)A case-control study to compare the variability of operating time in laparoscopic and open surgery. (5/426)
The purpose of this study was to compare the variability of operating times for some of the most common gynaecological procedures performed laparoscopically and by open surgery. The case notes of 60 women randomly selected from a cohort of 600 who had undergone laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts, leiomyoma and hysterectomy were reviewed. These patients were matched with an equal number of women who had been treated by open surgery for similar indications. Additional matching criteria included age (+/-2 years), size of the lesion in cases of ovarian cysts and fibroids (+/-3 cm), the period of amenorrhoea in ectopic pregnancies, and uterine size and pelvic pathology in women undergoing hysterectomy. Comparison of laparoscopy and laparotomy showed that the mean procedure times were similar for the two routes of surgery, with the exception of hysterectomy which took significantly longer if done laparoscopically. The duration of laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cystectomy and hysterectomy was significantly less predictable than at laparotomy. These data indicate that with the exception of hysterectomy, the average operating time for laparoscopic procedures is comparable to that for laparotomy. In contrast, the variability of duration of laparoscopic surgery tends to be much greater than with laparotomy for all procedures considered. (+info)Follow up of precocious pseudopuberty associated with isolated ovarian follicular cysts. (6/426)
The clinical outcomes of seven girls presenting with pseudosexual precocity caused by isolated autonomous ovarian follicular cysts are presented. Six of the seven girls, aged 11 months to 6.9 years, had a unilateral ovarian cyst detected by ultrasound at the first acute episode. Plasma oestradiol was raised in only five of the cases, but all had a low response to luteinising hormone releasing hormone stimulation. Follow up lasted for up to eight years with recurrent episodes of variable frequency and severity in all seven patients. Evidence of McCune-Albright syndrome appeared later in only three patients. It could not be predicted from the initial symptoms or the clinical course. Mutations of the G(s)alpha protein leading to activation were investigated in the lymphocytes and ovarian and bone tissues of four patients. Only one patient showed a mutation in bone tissue. Close follow up with repeated searches for skeletal lesions remains necessary since the distribution of somatic mutations cannot be assessed by molecular studies. Most patients with recurrent ovarian cysts require a conservative approach. (+info)How long does laparoscopic surgery really take? Lessons learned from 1000 operative laparoscopies. (7/426)
The purpose of this study was to assess the operating time of the most common gynaecological laparoscopic procedures. We analysed retrospectively 1000 consecutive operative laparoscopies on a procedure-by-procedure basis. Diagnostic laparoscopy and laparoscopic sterilization were specifically excluded from the analysis. The various laparoscopic procedures were grouped and analysed under six major categories. The average operating time for all cases was 76.9 min (range 10-400). In 38 cases (3.8%) the laparoscopic procedure was converted to laparotomy. The average operating time for treating ectopic pregnancy and tubal disease was approximately 60 min (range 13-240). Surgery for endometriosis and ovarian cysts averaged 72 min (range 10-240). Laparoscopic myomectomy and hysterectomy averaged 113 and 131 min respectively (range 25-400). Our results show that while the operating time for most operative laparoscopies is less than 75 min, the range of operating times is great. The relative lack of predictability in procedure times means that the efficient utilization of fixed theatre sessions is difficult. (+info)Cytokines in the follicular fluid of stimulated and non-stimulated human ovaries; is ovulation a suppressed inflammatory reaction? (8/426)
We determined the concentrations of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukins (IL)-1 beta, -6, -8 and -1-receptor antagonist (IL-1-ra) and of oestradiol and progesterone in the follicular fluid of 111 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and of six women with ovarian cysts in order to elucidate mid-cycle mechanisms causing dissociation of the follicle wall and local rupture of the ovarian tissue complex. Four stimulation protocols were administered: gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist/human menopausal gonadotrophin (GnRHa/HMG), clomiphene citrate/HMG (CC/HMG), HMG and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Concentrations of TNF alpha and IL-1 beta were below 15 and 3 pg/ml respectively. IL-6 (median 4.1, 3.5-4.4 pg/ml, 95% CI) was higher after stimulation with FSH (5.6 pg/ml) than with HMG (3.2 pg/ml, P < 0.05) or GnRHa/HMG (3.7 pg/ml, P < 0.05), and after stimulation with CC/HMG (5.5 pg/ml) than with HMG (P < 0.01) or GnRHa/HMG (P < 0.001). IL-8 ranged from 32 to 1241 pg/ml (147, 117-178 pg/ml) and IL-1-ra from < 31 to > 10,000 pg/ml (156, 109-192 pg/ml). Cytokine levels did not correlate to oestradiol or progesterone concentrations. The ovarian cysts contained similar IL-8 (14-540 pg/ml) and IL-1 beta (< 30 pg/ml), but higher IL-6 (13.6-> 500 pg/ml) and lower IL-1-ra concentrations. We assume that IL-6, IL-8 and IL-1-ra are involved in peri-ovulatory cellular interactions. Thus, ovulation appears to be a cytokine-regulated process of an 'inflammation' (IL-6 and IL-8) followed by 'anti-inflammatory' reactions (IL-1-ra). (+info)Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovaries, which are the female reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs. These cysts are a common occurrence in women of all ages, but are most commonly found in women of reproductive age. There are two types of ovarian cysts: functional and non-functional. Functional cysts are caused by hormonal changes in the body and usually resolve on their own within a few months. Non-functional cysts, on the other hand, are not caused by hormones and may require medical intervention. Symptoms of ovarian cysts may include abdominal pain, bloating, and discomfort during sexual intercourse. In some cases, ovarian cysts may be asymptomatic and discovered during a routine pelvic exam. Diagnosis of ovarian cysts typically involves imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI. Treatment options depend on the size and type of cyst, as well as the patient's overall health. Small cysts may be monitored with regular imaging tests, while larger cysts or cysts that cause symptoms may require surgical removal.
In the medical field, a cyst is a closed, fluid-filled sac that forms in or on an organ or tissue. Cysts can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and they can occur in various parts of the body, including the skin, liver, kidneys, ovaries, and brain. Cysts can be classified based on their location, size, and contents. Some common types of cysts include: 1. Epidermoid cysts: These are the most common type of cyst, and they form in the skin or hair follicles. They are usually benign and can be removed surgically. 2. Cystic acne: This is a type of cyst that occurs on the skin and is caused by the blockage of hair follicles. 3. Pancreatic cysts: These are cysts that form in the pancreas and can be either benign or malignant. 4. Kidney cysts: These are cysts that form in the kidneys and can be either benign or malignant. 5. Ovarian cysts: These are cysts that form in the ovaries and can be either benign or malignant. Treatment for cysts depends on their size, location, and type. Small cysts may not require treatment, while larger cysts or cysts that cause symptoms may need to be removed surgically. In some cases, medication may be used to treat cysts.
Cyst fluid is a clear or cloudy liquid that fills a cyst, which is a sac-like structure that can form in various parts of the body. The fluid inside a cyst can be either watery or thick and may contain various substances, such as proteins, enzymes, and cells. The composition of cyst fluid can vary depending on the type of cyst and the organ in which it forms. In some cases, the fluid inside a cyst may be analyzed to help diagnose the underlying condition or to guide treatment.
A follicular cyst is a type of ovarian cyst that forms when a follicle, which is a fluid-filled sac that contains an egg, fails to rupture and release the egg during ovulation. Instead, the follicle continues to grow and may eventually become a cyst. Follicular cysts are typically small and painless, and they often go away on their own without any treatment. However, in some cases, follicular cysts may cause discomfort or other symptoms, and they may require medical treatment.
A dermoid cyst is a type of cyst that forms from the remnants of the embryonic tissue that does not develop properly during fetal development. These cysts are typically found on the skin, but they can also occur in other parts of the body, such as the brain, ovaries, and testicles. Dermoid cysts are usually benign and do not cause any symptoms unless they become infected or grow large enough to cause pressure on surrounding tissues. They are usually diagnosed through physical examination and imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI. Treatment for dermoid cysts depends on the location and size of the cyst, as well as whether it is causing any symptoms. Small cysts may be monitored and treated with medication if they become infected. Larger cysts may require surgical removal to prevent complications such as infection, bleeding, or damage to surrounding tissues.
An epidermal cyst is a type of noncancerous growth that forms in the outer layer of skin, called the epidermis. It is a common skin condition that can occur anywhere on the body, but is most often found on the face, neck, and scalp. Epidermal cysts are usually small, round, and firm, and can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter. They are usually painless, but can become infected or inflamed if they are squeezed or traumatized. The exact cause of epidermal cysts is not known, but they are thought to be related to a blockage of the hair follicle or sweat gland. Treatment for epidermal cysts typically involves surgical removal, although they can also resolve on their own over time.
Ovarian diseases refer to any medical conditions that affect the ovaries, which are the female reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. These diseases can affect women of all ages and can range from benign to life-threatening. Some common ovarian diseases include: 1. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder that affects the ovaries and can cause irregular periods, infertility, and other symptoms. 2. Ovarian cancer: A type of cancer that starts in the ovaries and can spread to other parts of the body. 3. Endometriosis: A condition in which tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of it, often on the ovaries. 4. Ovarian cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that can develop on the ovaries and may be benign or cancerous. 5. Ovarian torsion: A condition in which the ovary twists on its stalk, cutting off blood flow and causing pain and other symptoms. 6. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS): A rare but serious condition that can occur in women undergoing fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), in which the ovaries become overly stimulated and produce too many eggs. Treatment for ovarian diseases depends on the specific condition and its severity. It may include medications, surgery, or other interventions. Early detection and treatment are important for improving outcomes and preventing complications.
Puberty, precocious refers to the early onset of puberty, which is defined as the onset of puberty before the age of 8 for girls and before the age of 9 for boys. Precocious puberty is a medical condition that can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, exposure to certain hormones or environmental factors, and certain medical conditions such as tumors or hormonal imbalances. The symptoms of precocious puberty may include the development of breast tissue in girls, the growth of pubic hair and underarm hair, and the onset of menstruation. In boys, precocious puberty may be indicated by the growth of pubic hair, the development of testicles, and an increase in muscle mass and height. Treatment for precocious puberty may involve the use of medications to suppress or delay puberty, as well as monitoring and management of any underlying medical conditions that may be contributing to the early onset of puberty. It is important to note that precocious puberty can have significant psychological and social impacts on affected individuals, and appropriate support and counseling may be necessary.
In the medical field, a torsion abnormality refers to a condition in which a structure, such as a testicle or ovary, twists on its own axis. This can cause a blockage of blood flow to the affected organ, leading to pain, swelling, and potentially serious complications if left untreated. Torsion abnormalities are typically diagnosed through physical examination and imaging studies, and may require surgical intervention to correct. They can occur in both males and females, and are more common in children and young adults.
A mediastinal cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the mediastinum, which is the area between the lungs in the chest. The mediastinum contains many vital structures, including the heart, great vessels, and lymph nodes. A mediastinal cyst can develop anywhere in the mediastinum and can be classified based on its location, size, and contents. Mediastinal cysts can be congenital or acquired, and they can be classified as either benign or malignant. Benign mediastinal cysts are non-cancerous and are usually asymptomatic, while malignant mediastinal cysts are cancerous and can cause symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and coughing. The diagnosis of a mediastinal cyst is typically made through imaging studies such as chest X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Treatment options for mediastinal cysts depend on the size, location, and type of cyst, as well as the patient's overall health. Small, benign mediastinal cysts may not require treatment and can be monitored with imaging studies. Larger or symptomatic cysts may require surgical removal or other interventions.
Endometritis is an inflammation of the endometrium, which is the inner lining of the uterus. It is usually caused by an infection, but can also be caused by other factors such as surgery, trauma, or hormonal changes. Symptoms of endometritis may include pelvic pain, fever, vaginal discharge, and abnormal bleeding. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to treat the underlying infection, and in some cases, surgery may be necessary. Endometritis can be a serious condition if left untreated, as it can lead to complications such as infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and even sepsis.
Endometriosis is a medical condition in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside of the uterus, on other organs in the pelvic cavity, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the lining of the pelvis. This tissue can also grow on the surface of the bowel, bladder, or other abdominal organs. Endometriosis can cause a range of symptoms, including pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, pain during sex, and infertility. The severity of symptoms can vary widely from person to person, and some people with endometriosis may not experience any symptoms at all. The exact cause of endometriosis is not known, but it is thought to be related to the retrograde menstruation, which is the backward flow of menstrual blood through the fallopian tubes and into the pelvic cavity. This can cause the endometrial tissue to implant and grow in other areas of the body. Diagnosis of endometriosis typically involves a combination of physical examination, medical history, and imaging tests such as ultrasound, MRI, or laparoscopy. Treatment options for endometriosis include pain management, hormonal therapy, and surgery to remove the endometrial tissue.
A synovial cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms in the joint capsule, which is the tissue that surrounds and protects a joint. Synovial cysts are usually benign and do not cause any symptoms, but in some cases, they can cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion in the affected joint. Synovial cysts can occur in any joint, but they are most common in the knee, wrist, and ankle. They are usually caused by repetitive joint motion or injury, which can cause the joint capsule to stretch and tear, allowing fluid to accumulate in the area. Treatment for synovial cysts depends on the size and location of the cyst, as well as the severity of symptoms. In most cases, synovial cysts can be treated with non-surgical methods such as rest, ice, and physical therapy. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the cyst and repair any damage to the joint capsule.
Bone cysts are fluid-filled cavities that develop in the bones. They are also known as osteocysts or osteolytic cysts. Bone cysts can occur in any bone in the body, but they are most commonly found in the long bones of the arms and legs, such as the femur and tibia. There are several types of bone cysts, including simple bone cysts, aneurysmal bone cysts, unicameral bone cysts, and giant cell tumors. Simple bone cysts are the most common type and are usually benign. They are filled with clear fluid and do not cause any symptoms unless they grow large enough to compress surrounding bone or nerves. Aneurysmal bone cysts are larger and more aggressive than simple bone cysts. They are filled with blood and can cause pain, swelling, and bone deformities. Unicameral bone cysts are also known as solitary bone cysts and are usually found in children. They are filled with clear fluid and do not cause any symptoms unless they grow large enough to compress surrounding bone or nerves. Giant cell tumors are rare and are usually found in adults. They are filled with abnormal cells and can cause pain, swelling, and bone deformities. Treatment for bone cysts depends on the type and size of the cyst, as well as the location and severity of symptoms. Treatment options may include observation, medication, surgery, or radiation therapy.
A bronchogenic cyst is a type of congenital cyst that arises from the bronchial tree, which is the network of airways that carry air from the trachea to the lungs. These cysts are usually benign and do not cause any symptoms in most cases. However, in some cases, they can become infected or cause problems with breathing if they grow large enough. Bronchogenic cysts are typically diagnosed through imaging tests such as chest X-rays or CT scans, and treatment may involve surgical removal if the cyst is causing problems or if there is a risk of it becoming infected.
Cystadenoma is a type of benign (non-cancerous) tumor that develops in the glandular tissue of the ovary. It is a cystic tumor, meaning that it is filled with fluid or semi-solid material. Cystadenomas are usually slow-growing and do not cause any symptoms unless they become large or cause pressure on surrounding organs. They are typically diagnosed through imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI, and are often removed surgically if they cause symptoms or if there is a concern about their potential to become cancerous.
Ovarian neoplasms refer to abnormal growths or tumors that develop in the ovaries, which are the female reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs and hormones. These neoplasms can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and they can vary in size, shape, and location within the ovaries. Ovarian neoplasms can be classified based on their histological type, which refers to the type of cells that make up the tumor. Some common types of ovarian neoplasms include epithelial ovarian cancer, germ cell tumors, sex cord-stromal tumors, and stromal tumors. Symptoms of ovarian neoplasms may include abdominal pain, bloating, pelvic pain, and changes in menstrual patterns. However, many ovarian neoplasms are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally during routine pelvic exams or imaging studies. Diagnosis of ovarian neoplasms typically involves a combination of imaging studies, such as ultrasound or CT scans, and blood tests to measure levels of certain hormones and tumor markers. A biopsy may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the type and stage of the neoplasm. Treatment for ovarian neoplasms depends on the type, stage, and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health and preferences. Options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these approaches. Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes and survival rates for patients with ovarian neoplasms.
A parovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops on the ovary, which is a small reproductive organ located in the female reproductive system. Parovarian cysts are a common occurrence in women of reproductive age and are usually benign, meaning they are not cancerous. There are two types of parovarian cysts: functional and non-functional. Functional cysts are caused by hormonal changes in the body and usually resolve on their own without treatment. Non-functional cysts, on the other hand, are not caused by hormones and may require medical intervention if they are large or cause symptoms. Symptoms of parovarian cysts may include abdominal pain, bloating, and discomfort during sexual intercourse. In some cases, a parovarian cyst may cause no symptoms at all and be discovered incidentally during a routine pelvic exam or imaging test. Treatment for parovarian cysts depends on the size and type of cyst, as well as the presence of symptoms. Small cysts that cause no symptoms may not require treatment and may resolve on their own. Larger cysts or cysts that cause symptoms may be treated with medication or surgery.
In the medical field, "remission, spontaneous" refers to the natural recovery or improvement of a disease or condition without any specific treatment or intervention. It is a spontaneous return to a state of health or wellness that occurs without any external influence or medical intervention. Spontaneous remission can occur in various medical conditions, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and mental health disorders. It is often seen as a positive outcome for patients, as it can reduce the need for medical treatment and improve their quality of life. However, it is important to note that spontaneous remission is not a guarantee of long-term recovery and that the underlying cause of the disease or condition may still be present. Therefore, it is essential to continue monitoring the patient's condition and seeking appropriate medical care as needed.
CA-125 antigen is a protein that is produced by some types of ovarian cancer cells. It is also produced by other types of cancer cells, as well as by non-cancerous cells in the body. The CA-125 antigen is measured in the blood to help diagnose and monitor ovarian cancer. A high level of CA-125 in the blood may indicate the presence of ovarian cancer, but it can also be elevated in other conditions, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and pregnancy. Therefore, the CA-125 test is not used alone to diagnose ovarian cancer, but rather as part of a larger diagnostic workup.
Pituitary Hormone-Releasing Hormones (PRHs) are a group of hormones that are produced by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain that controls many of the body's hormonal and metabolic processes. These hormones stimulate the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain, to produce and release other hormones that regulate various bodily functions. There are several different types of PRHs, including thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), and somatostatin-releasing hormone (SRH). Each of these hormones has a specific target hormone that it stimulates the pituitary gland to produce. For example, TRH stimulates the pituitary gland to produce thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which in turn stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. CRH stimulates the pituitary gland to produce adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which in turn stimulates the adrenal gland to produce cortisol. GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to produce follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which are important for reproductive function. GHRH stimulates the pituitary gland to produce growth hormone (GH), which is important for growth and development. SRH inhibits the production of several hormones, including GH and TSH. PRHs play a critical role in regulating many bodily functions, including growth and development, metabolism, reproduction, and stress response. Imbalances in the production or function of PRHs can lead to a variety of medical conditions, including hypothyroidism, Addison's disease, hypogonadism, dwarfism, and acromegaly.
Leiomyoma is a medical term used to describe a benign (non-cancerous) tumor that develops in the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. These tumors are also known as uterine fibroids and are the most common type of pelvic tumor in women of reproductive age. Leiomyomas can vary in size and number, and they can grow anywhere in the uterus, but they are most commonly found in the muscular walls of the uterus. They can also develop in other parts of the body, such as the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Symptoms of leiomyomas may include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure on the bladder or bowels, and infertility. Treatment options for leiomyomas depend on the size and location of the tumor, as well as the severity of symptoms. They may include medication, surgery, or other interventions.
Odontogenic cysts are a type of cyst that develops in the jawbone and is associated with the teeth. They are classified as developmental cysts, which means they form during tooth development or after tooth eruption. Odontogenic cysts are further classified into two main categories: dentigerous cysts and non-dentigerous cysts. Dentigerous cysts are the most common type of odontogenic cyst and are associated with unerupted or impacted teeth. They form around the crown of the tooth and can cause the tooth to become displaced or resorb. Non-dentigerous cysts, on the other hand, are not associated with teeth and can develop anywhere in the jawbone. They include keratocystic odontogenic tumors, radicular cysts, and gingival cysts. Odontogenic cysts are usually asymptomatic and are often discovered incidentally during routine dental X-rays. However, they can cause swelling, pain, and infection if they become infected or if they grow large enough to compress surrounding structures. Treatment for odontogenic cysts typically involves surgical removal of the cyst and the affected tooth or teeth.
In the medical field, autoanalysis refers to the process of analyzing one's own bodily fluids, such as blood, urine, or saliva, for the purpose of monitoring health status or detecting potential health problems. This can be done using various diagnostic tests and laboratory equipment, and may be performed by healthcare professionals or by individuals at home using self-testing devices. Autoanalysis can be used for a variety of purposes, including monitoring chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, detecting infections or other illnesses, and tracking the effectiveness of treatments. It can also be used for preventive care, such as screening for certain diseases or monitoring for early signs of potential health problems. Overall, autoanalysis is an important tool for maintaining and promoting health, and can help individuals take a more proactive role in managing their own health and well-being.
