Guided Imagery and Music in the Treatment for Breast and Gynecologic Cancer: An RCT Pilot.

The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial pilot was to investigate the potential effectiveness of the music psychotherapy method, Guided Imagery and Music (GIM), to assist female patients who are undergoing chemotherapy treatment for breast or gynecologic cancer. A secondary aim was to suggest performance improvements regarding the protocol and the resources required to undertake a future larger scale study. The researchers randomized participants (n = 20) into two groups: Intervention group (n = 10) and Control group (n = 10).

Mucinous epithelial lesions in endometrial curettage material: a diagnostic challenge.

Aim: To evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of several benign or malignant mucinous lesions that can be encountered in endometrial curettage material.

Materials And Methods: Nineteen well-differentiated mucinous endometrial carcinomas, 12 papillary mucinous metaplasias, 11 cervical microglandular hyperplasias, 11 endocervical adenocarcinomas, 2 goblet cell metaplasias, 1 minimal-deviation adenocarcinoma, and 1 lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia entered the study. Immunohistochemistry was performed with the following antibodies against: estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, vimentin, p16, p63, carcinoembryonic antigen, and Ki-67.

A pre-tailored panel of antibodies in the study of cervical mesonephric remnants.

Aims: To investigate the immunohistochemical profile of cervical mesonephric remnants.

Methods And Results: Cases of mesonephric remnants, microglandular hyperplasia, tunnel clusters, tuboendometrioid metaplasia and cervical adenocarcinomas were immunohistochemically stained with Ki-67, CD10, bcl2 and p16. All 26 cases of mesonephric remnants were strongly positive for bcl2 and weakly to moderately positive for p16.

Human papillomavirus infection in malignant and benign gynaecological conditions: a study in Greek women.

HPV infection is by far the most frequent sexually transmitted disease. Our aim in this prospective nonrandomized study was to investigate the frequency with which different subtypes of the human papillomavirus (HPV) are found in gynaecological malignant and benign conditions and to compare the rate of infection between them. Detailed data of 195 women were selected and divided into three groups.
