leiomyoma/albumin

Uterine leiomyoma associated with ascites and hydrothorax was apparently cured by total hysterectomy. This is believed to be the 15th recorded case of this type of Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome and the first in a patient with severe curvature of the spine and dorsolumbar scoliosis. The association with

Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome accompanied by massive ascites in uterine leiomyoma is rare. We encountered a rare case of a 37-year-old, nulliparous woman with a lower abdominal tumor and severe abdominal distention due to massive ascites. Serum cancer antigen 125 and vascular endothelial growth factor

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to quantify markers of myometrial ischemia, necrosis, and inflammation in women undergoing uterine artery embolization (UAE). METHODS Women with symptomatic fibroids were randomized to treatment with UAE (n = 14) or abdominal myomectomy (n = 11). Peripheral

An ultrasound (US), image-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device was developed for noninvasive ablation of uterine fibroids. The HIFU device was an annular phased array, with a focal depth range of 30-60 mm, a natural focus of 50 mm, and a resonant frequency of 3 MHz. The in-house

To evaluate the efficacy of low dose megestrol on malnourished dialysis patients we treated 16 dialysis patients with persistent hypoalbuminemia ( < 3.5 gm/dl for 2 consecutive months) and adequate dialysis at a dose of 20 mg orally twice daily. Twelve patients on peritoneal dialysis and 4 on

The safety and preliminary efficacy of a new ultrasound contrast medium. Albunex for evaluating Fallopian tube patency during transvaginal sonography were studied in seven women. All of the women had sought medical attention because of uterine fibroids and excessive menstrual bleeding and were

Gestrinone is a synthetic steroid hormone with anti-estrogenic and anti-progesterone properties. It is used to treat endometriosis, shrink uterine fibroids and reduce menorrhagia; besides, it has been investigated for use as contraceptive. Also, due to its anabolic effects, it has been included in

BACKGROUND We evaluated the usefulness of contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract diseases. METHODS The subjects were 42 patients with upper GI tract diseases: 4 esophageal carcinomas, 30 gastric carcinomas, 5 gastric myogenic tumors,

The chronic intravenous toxicity of cefodizime sodium (THR-221) was studied in beagle dogs. Groups of 6 males and 6 females were treated with THR-221 at doses of 0 (saline), 200, 400, 800 and 1600 mg/kg/day for 6 months. The THR-221 related symptoms were vomiting, excessive drinking behavior and

The contribution of plasma protein(s) to the stabilization of fibroids formed in rat lungs exposed to acute silica dust inhalation was examined. Antibodies against component proteins of the nodules remaining insoluble in 2% SDS, 10M urea and 40 mM sulfhydryl reagents under prolonged boiling
