The mammary mass was solid and firm and measured 2×5cm2 in greatest diameter. The uterus revealed thick uterine horn and cross sectioned wall. Histopathologically, the mammary mass revealed feline mammary carcinoma. In the uterus, cystic endometrial hyperplasia was observed. Feline leukemia virus positive reaction was detected by polymerase chain reaction. As far as we know, this is the first report of the simultaneous feline mammary carcinoma and uterine endometrial cystic hyperplasia with Feline leukemia virus infection in a cat. Keywords: Feline leukemia virus, cats, feline mammary carcinoma, uterine hyperplasia Tumors in mammary glands have been reported mainly in older female cats above 10 to 12 years [15]. Cats with mam- mary tumors are usually dead less than 1 year after the diag- nosis, and the size of tumor mass is the most significant prognostic barometer [15]. Presentation of complex cystic endometrial hyperplasia- pyometra (CEH-P) is not very common in cats.

  • Med12 Gain-Of-Function Mutation Causes Leiomyomas and Genomic Instability
    Med12 gain-of-function mutation causes leiomyomas and genomic instability Priya Mittal, … , Urvashi Surti, Aleksandar Rajkovic J Clin Invest. 2015;125(8):3280-3284. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI81534. Brief Report Genetics Uterine leiomyomas are benign tumors that can cause pain, bleeding, and infertility in some women. Mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) exon 2 variants are associated with uterine leiomyomas; however, the causality ofM ED12 variants, their genetic mode of action, and their role in genomic instability have not been established. Here, we generated a mouse model that conditionally expresses a Med12 missense variant (c.131G>A) in the uterus and demonstrated that this alteration alone promotes uterine leiomyoma formation and hyperplasia in both WT mice and animals harboring a uterine mesenchymal cell–specific Med12 deletion. Compared with WT animals, expression of Med12 c.131G>A in conditional Med12–KO mice resulted in earlier onset of leiomyoma lesions that were also greater in size. Moreover, leiomyomatous, Med12 c.131G>A variant–expressing uteri developed chromosomal rearrangements. Together, our results show that the common human leiomyoma–associated MED12 variant can cause leiomyomas in mice via a gain of function that drives genomic instability, which is frequently observed in human leiomyomas.

  • Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB)
    Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) What is Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is abnormal bleeding from the uterus that is not due to pregnancy or other recognizable pathology in the women’s uterus, pelvic or systemic disease. It is a functional problem of the uterus largely due to hormonal imbalance and not related to structural or anatomical problem. It is commonly present as heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia). However, the doctor can only derive to a diagnosis of DUB after all other causes for abnormal and heavy menstrual bleeding in a patient have been investigated and excluded. Who gets DUB and why is it important to know Almost every woman is at risk of experience DUB in their lifetime. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding occurs most often in adolescent and in women after 40 and close to menopausal age. Studies showed that nearly 80% of heavy menstruation (i.e. menstrual blood loss >80 mls per month) is caused by DUB. Heavy menstrual bleeding may affect a woman’s health both medically and socially causing problem such as iron deficiency anaemia and social phobia or discomfort respectively. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is the commonest cause of iron deficiency anaemia in women in the developed world and of chronic illness in developing world. It also affects productivity as almost 10 % of women absent from work due to heavy menstrual bleeding. For adolescent, heavy menstrual bleeding resulting in anaemia affects their school performance as they often feel lethargic and unable to participate in school activities too. What are other causes of abnormal menstrual bleeding? Other than DUB, the functional problem that often responsible for heavy or abnormal menstruation, there are many structural and systemic cause that need to be investigated and excluded first before DUB can be diagnosed.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Saline hysterosonography is a simple and cost-effective method with high sensitivity to detect uterine abnormalities causing postmenopausal bleeding. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of saline hysterosonography in detecting endometrial hyperplasia in women with postmenopausal bleeding by taking histopathology as a gold standard. METHODOLOGY: A hundred and twenty (120) cases were enrolled from the outpatient and inpatient department of obstetrics and gynecology. Proper history and relevant examination of the patient was done. Then preparations were made for the procedure. The patient was counseled and the technique explained to her. Then Foley catheter no 12 was passed in cervix and sonography was done while instilling normal saline through a cervical catheter and scan pictures were frozen and results were given by expert gynecologist of Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Histopathology specimen was sent to the pathology lab. RESULTS: Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy of saline hysterosonography in detecting endometrial hyperplasia was recorded as 96.15%,91,49%,75.76%,98.85%, and 92.5% respectively. CONCLUSION: Saline hysterosonography has high sensitivity to detect uterine hyperplasia. It can be used as a cost effective alternative to hysteroscopy in many units in Pakistan.

  • Menopause Practice Essentials: a Short Review
    ISSN: 0974-5343 IJMST (2019), 9(3):11-24 DOI: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3366071 Menopause practice essentials: a short review Sebastião David Santos-Filho Fisioterapia, Faculdade Mauricio de Nassau, Natal, RN, Brasil. [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Menopause is the final menstrual period. It is diagnosed after 12 months of amenorrhea and is characterized by a myriad of symptoms. Hormonal changes occur over a period leading up and immediately following menopause. Menopause results from loss of ovarian sensitivity to gonadotropin stimulation, which is directly related to follicular attrition. With the commencement of menopause and a loss of functioning follicles, the most significant change in the hormonal profile is the dramatic decrease in circulating estradiol. The menopausal transition is a time when physiologic changes in responsiveness to gonadotropins and their secretions occur, and it is characterized by wide variations in hormonal levels. This work describes all physiological alterations occurred by menopause. Also, it describes the markers used to identify this period of life in women. The clinical and relations of the menopause and other disorders in a short review of all the process of this disturb. Key-words: Menopause; Gonadotropin; Estradiol; Quality of life.

  • Some Indications for Hysterectomy
    SOME INDICATIONS FOR HYSTERECTO:NIY* BY J. ]\BALDWIN, M.D., F.A.C.S., COLUMBUS, OHIO s a general rule most surgeons limit their indications for hyster­ A ectomy to fibroids producing marked symptoms, to cancers, and rarely to certain types of puerperal infections; but occasionally they extend their advice to cases in which double tuba-ovarian abscesses have been removed, and in which the uterus is found denuded of its peritoneum. A composite picture of a certain class of patients who present them­ selves very frequently to the physician, would represent a woman usu­ ally between 30 and 40 years of age, but with the limit extending in either direction; she has usually had one or more children, or miscar­ riages, or both; there often is a laceration of the cervix; the uterine body is enlarged, hard and tender, :with more or less tendency to drop .. ping down and retroversion; there is a history of prolonged and humil­ iating leucorrhea, pronounced dyspareunia, backache, bearing down, marked pelvic discomfort and general unhappiness. Almost invariably she has been treated locally by pessaries, tampons, curettements, Churchill's tincture of iodin, carbolic acid, Battey's iodized phenol, or something of that sort; during treatments she has perhaps felt a lit­ tle better, but improvement, if anything more than imaginary, has been very transient. Only a few months ago a patient was referred to me who had been studied in a celebrated Baltimore clinic for over two weeks. She had come home with the advice to keep quiet for a number of weeks, and to be dieted so as to reduce her weight by 15 pounds, as she was that much heavier than the average.

Peck Date B.A., M.C.H. Co-Supervisor: ________________________ __________________ Dr Z. Bengis Date M. Tech (Hom) (Cum Laude) Johannesburg, 2009 DECLARATION I, Bianca De Canha, declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Technology at the University of Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other Technikon or University. ___________________ Signature of Candidate ________ day of _______________________ ii ABSTRACT Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a minimum of one year of regular intercourse without contraception (Carlson et al, 2002). This may occur as primary infertility, where individuals have never had a biological child, or secondary infertility where individuals have had at least one previous documented conception (Greer et al, 2003). Infertility, in the African setting, is seen as a violation of the social norm. It contributes to psychological distress and marital instability as well as the loss of social security, social status and gender identity. Parenthood is considered culturally mandatory making childlessness unacceptable. Not only does Africa have the highest fertility rates in the world, Africa also has the highest number of infertility cases globally (Dyer et al, 2005; Ragone & Twine, 2000). Unexplained infertility is diagnosed when the routine investigation of semen analysis, tubal patency and assessment of ovulation show no abnormality and the couple have engaged in regular sexual intercourse.
