The pathophysiology and management of uterine disease biology
This review provides an update on research progress regarding the molecular pathogenesis and putative clinical management of USC. Accuracy: Serous uterine cancer, although rare, is the most fatal form of uterine cancer. · Therapeutic options for abnormal uterine bleeding AUB are medical or procedural, with medical treatment typically being first-line therapy. 1. Among the specific arteriovenous malformations, AVMs can be found anywhere in the vascular system, including the uterus. Acquired uterine AVM is a rare cause of life-threatening hemorrhage that may result from trauma, surgical intervention, or in the setting of a pre-existing pathologic uterine process. Historically, treatment of uterine AVMs has been required, Summary. The incidence of preeclampsia varies. for nulliparas. for multiparas. Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity, preterm birth, perinatal mortality and intrauterine growth retardation. Unfortunately, the pathophysiology of this multisystem disorder is characterized by abnormal vascular disease. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the pathophysiology of endometriosis and its potential role in the development of endometrial cancer from a molecular perspective and suggests that a better understanding of the molecular basis of endometriosis will improve the approach to clinical treatment. To expand. 41.1. Introduction. Theriogenology published a series of definitions for postpartum uterine diseases in cattle. Since then, the incidence, etiology, pathogenesis and consequences of the major postpartum uterine diseases - metritis and endometritis have been better understood 2-7. It is less clear why some dairy cows, INTRODUCTION. Dysmenorrhea is defined as painful menstrual cramps caused by the uterus, and is considered one of the most common gynecological conditions in women of childbearing age. Although it is a common condition, it is generally underdiagnosed as most women do not seek medical attention2,3. Accordingly, uterine fibroids are benign neoplasms of the uterus and represent a major source of morbidity in women of childbearing age. In this Primer, Stewart et al. discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and... Endometrial polyps are focal intrauterine endometrial neoplasm that may be single or multiple. Their size varies from a few millimeters to several centimeters, and their morphology can be sessile, with large or small implantation bases, or pedunculated. 1. Endometrial polyps consist of three elements: endometrial glands, stroma and blood. Endometrial hyperplasia, in atypical forms, is the precursor lesion for endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the endometrium, which represents the most common gynecological malignancy in industrialized countries. 1 Endometrial hyperplasia, defined as the disordered proliferation of endometrial glands, results from PDQ Adult Treatment Editorial Board estrogenic stimulation. Published online: This PDQ Cancer Information Summary for Healthcare Professionals provides comprehensive, peer-reviewed, evidence-based information on the treatment of endometrial cancer. It is intended as a tool to inform and assist physicians in the care of their patients. Introduction. Rupture of the pregnant uterus is an uncommon but very serious obstetric event strongly associated with high fetal and maternal morbidity during the peripartum period. A uterine rupture is the complete division of all three..
