Chemical compound and disease context of Genital Diseases, Female

  • Monthly implant of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist: a practical therapeutic approach for sex-steroid dependent gynecologic diseases [8].
  • Samples of cervical tissue were obtained from women immediately following term delivery from spontaneous labor or oral PGE2-induced labor and from a small nunber of nonpregnant women in the reproductive years undergoing hysterectomy for benign gynecologic disease [9].
  • To evaluate the usefulness of the plasma dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-to-cortisol ratio (D/C) and the plasma aldosterone-to-plasma renin activity ratio (ALDO/PRA) as indicators of stress, we first monitored changes in these ratios associated with surgery in 13 patients who were healthy except for their localized gynecologic diseases [10].
  • No significant difference was found when arterial and venous levels were compared and there was no difference in venous PGE levels when subjects with cancer were compared to patients with benign gynecologic disease [11].
  • Urinary gonadotropin peptide (UGP) was measured in 866 urines from normal women and women with benign and malignant gynecologic disease using the Triton UGP enzyme immunoassay [12].
 

Biological context of Genital Diseases, Female

  • SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shimane Medical University Hospital, Izumo, Japan. PATIENT(S): Two hundred forty-five Japanese women with endocrine disorders and/or gynecologic disease and 153 healthy, nonpregnant, fertile Japanese women [13].
  • We investigated serum CA 125 levels in 120 patients with benign gynecologic disease, and examined variations in CA 125 levels during the menstrual cycle in six normally cycling women [14].

Gene context of Genital Diseases, Female

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Genital Diseases, Female

  • The concentration of TATI was determined by radioimmunoassay in the urine of 148 patients with various forms of gynecologic malignancy and in a reference population consisting of 98 patients with non-malignant gynecologic disease, and also in 40 patients with severe infections or inflammatory disease [6].
