Laparoscopic management of pregnancy in a patient with uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis.

Pregnancy in a rudimentary uterine horn is a rare and potentially lethal condition. The highest risk of rupture is reported to be during the late first and second trimester. The risk of rupture correlates with the thickness of the myometrium surrounding the fetal pole.

Study of sexual functioning determinants in breast cancer survivors.

Our goal was to identify the treatment, personal, interpersonal, and hormonal (testosterone) factors in breast cancer survivors (BCSs) that determine sexual dysfunction. The treatment variables studied were type of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and tamoxifen. The personal, interpersonal, and physiologic factors were depression, body image, age, relationship distress, and testosterone levels.

Paratubal cyst: a case report.

Paratubal cyst can undergo torsion that can make it difficult to diagnose since tubal cysts mimic ovarian cysts. Most reported cases of paratubal cysts have occurred in pediatric patients, and this type of cyst rarely causes symptoms of lower abdominal pain mimicking appendicitis. We present the case of a 28-year-old female who was taking Carbergoline for hyperprolactinoma associated with a pituitary adenoma who came to the ER at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit experiencing severe abdominal pain.

Elevated early follicular gonadotropin levels in women with unexplained infertility do not provide evidence for disordered gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion as assessed by luteinizing hormone pulse characteristics.

Objective: To determine whether women with rigorously defined unexplained infertility demonstrated altered GnRH secretion, as reflected by serum LH secretion patterns.

Design: Prospective observational study.

Setting: National Center for Infertility Research at Michigan.

Estrogen raises the sweating threshold in postmenopausal women with hot flashes.

Objective: To determine if estrogen ameliorates hot flashes by raising the core body temperature sweating threshold, by reducing core body temperature fluctuations, and/or by reducing sympathetic activation (as measured by plasma 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol).

Design: Laboratory physiological study.

Setting: University medical center.
