Disease relevance of Uterine Prolapse

• The patients with hydronephrosis were older (mean age 68+/-9.5 SD vs. 60.5+/-10.8 SD, P<0.001) had a higher creatinine levels (0.84+/-0.4 SD vs. 0.78+/-0.3 SD P<0.005) and had a higher degree of uterine prolapse (mean 2.6+/-0.9 SD vs. 1.1+/-1.2 SD, P<0.005) [1].

High impact information on Uterine Prolapse

• DESIGN: A total of 40 women, scheduled to undergo vaginal hysterectomy because of uterine prolapse, were randomly assigned to the tamoxifen group (20 mg/day; 20 women) or the control group (20 women) [2].
• STUDY DESIGN: One hundred fourteen women with anterior vaginal prolapse were randomly assigned to undergo anterior repair by one of 3 techniques: standard, standard plus polyglactin 910 mesh, or ultralateral anterior colporrhaphy [3].
• In a classic article published in 1949 Marshall, Marchetti, and Krantz demonstrated that stress incontinence in women without uterine prolapse could be corrected by a simple vesicourethral suspension [4].
• Relationships between vaginal collagen, plasma oestradiol and uterine prolapse in turkeys [5].
• The prevalence of vaginal prolapse in the flocks was not related to the serum albumin, calcium or urea of the ewes [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Uterine Prolapse

• Treatment of uterine prolapse in young women. Sacral cervicopexy by polyvinyl alcohol sponge [8].
• Levormeloxifene and idoxifene, on the contrary, were noted to increase uterine prolapse and incontinence during phase III trials that prematurely terminated [9].
• We have measured serum levels of cortisol, 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA), 4-androstene-3,17-dione (A4) and total (free + conjugated) estrone (tE1) before, during and up to 6 days after surgery in 30 postmenopausal women undergoing repair of vaginal prolapse [10].

Biological context of Uterine Prolapse

• Eight women with uterine prolapse and at least 5 years of menopause were randomly divided into four groups and treated as follows: (I) no hormonal treatment; (II) 0.625mg/day of CEE orally; (III) 1.25mg/day of CEE orally; (IV) 50microg/day of 17beta-estradiol transdermally [11].

Anatomical context of Uterine Prolapse

• Reported are results obtained from determination of calcium, phosphorus, protein, and cholesterol in blood serum of 10 Gir cows with uterine prolapse [7].

Gene context of Uterine Prolapse

• JAMA patient page. Uterine prolapse [12].
• Extra-articular features included high frequencies of occurrence of varicose veins, piles and uterine prolapse among other abnormalities [13].
• All patients underwent fluorourodynamic evaluation including an abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP) with reduction of the vaginal prolapse [14].
• This study aimed to examine the frequency and nature of complications of vaginal prolapse surgery performed by members of SGS over a year and to determine the feasibility and the problems associated with prospective, multicentered collaborative data acquisition [15].
• Uterine prolapse in a young nulligravida with scleroderma and premature ovarian failure [16].
