Body image in perimenopausal women.

Introduction: Menopause is the last natural menstruation, followed by a period of 12 months during which no bleeding occurs (WHO). This natural process results from the phasing out of the physiological activity of the ovaries and involves numerous psychological and somatic disturbances. Although perimenopausal ailments are experienced by most women, the correlation between their perception of the bodies and biopsychosocial functioning in the climacteric period is not fully understood.

Impact of experimental diabetes and chronic hypoxia on rat fetal body weight.

Objectives: The aim of the study is to determine the impact of the experimental diabetes and the chronic hypoxia on pregnancy development and rat fetal body weight.

Material And Methods: The experiment was performed on female Wistar rats. Animals were divided into the experimen-tal groups.

Management of uterine leiomyosarcoma.

The low incidence of uterine sarcomas requires many issues associated with its biology and clinical course to be followed with more research. Unsatisfactory surgical outcomes and a high risk of cancer dissemination make it worthwhile to consider the feasibility of supplementary systemic treatment. The currently employed chemo- and hormonal therapy is characterised by low efficacy.

Coping with stress and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence.

Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) involves uncontrolled leakage of urine through the urethra as a result of damage to its sphincter muscle and a disturbed function of the urogenital diaphragm within the pelvis minor. The symptoms of UI radically impair psychological, somatic, and social functioning. The aim of each disease stress coping process is to reduce the impact of harmful agents as well as the acquisition of necessary preventive measures in order to combat the disorder.

[Influence of chronic hypoxia on optical density of μ-opioid receptors in fetal rat brain].

Unlabelled: Fetal brain is considered to be the major body organ, critical for the future quality of human life. Offspring exposed to prenatal hypoxia has been evidenced to experience behavioral abnormalities as a result of the injury sustained by neuronal cells in the brain. The relatively early appearance of opioid receptors proved susceptible to endogenous and exogenous factors.

Selected determinants of quality of life in women with urinary incontinence.

Urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the most common diseases in women. It involves uncontrolled leaking of urine through the urethra. UI incidence depends on age and in certain age groups it can affect up to 60% of the female population.
