Relugolix combination therapy and symptoms of uterine myomatosis - selected case reports of indication spectrum and treatment outcomes.

Objective: An illustrative review of the indications for relugolix combination therapy (RCT) in the management of symptoms associated with uterine myomatosis.

Methods: A set of annotated case reports from outpatient and clinical practice.

Results: The file includes a non-invasive methodology for defining excessive menstrual bleeding using the pictorial bleeding assessment chart (PBAC).

Circulating Endometrial Cells: A New Source of Information on Endometriosis Dynamics.

Unlabelled: The focus of the presented work was to isolate and characterize circulating endometrial cells (CECs) enriched from peripheral blood (PB) of patients with diagnosed endometriosis. The molecular characteristics of CECs could be supportive for an understanding of endometriosis pathogenesis and treatment decisions in the future.

Material And Methods: Blood samples ( = 423) were tested for CECs presence.

Kondo-like phonon scattering in thermoelectric clathrates.

Crystalline solids are generally known as excellent heat conductors, amorphous materials or glasses as thermal insulators. It has thus come as a surprise that certain crystal structures defy this paradigm. A prominent example are type-I clathrates and other materials with guest-host structures.

Altered Immunity in Endometriosis: What Came First?

Background: This study was conducted to summarize current knowledge of the changes within the immune system, from action of macrophages, lymphocytes and NK cells to biological effects of their products. Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disorder defined as a presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus affecting over 5 million reproductive-aged women in the U.S.

Direct measurement of individual phonon lifetimes in the clathrate compound BaGeAu.

Engineering lattice thermal conductivity requires to control the heat carried by atomic vibration waves, the phonons. The key parameter for quantifying it is the phonon lifetime, limiting the travelling distance, whose determination is however at the limits of instrumental capabilities. Here, we show the achievement of a direct quantitative measurement of phonon lifetimes in a single crystal of the clathrate BaGeAu, renowned for its puzzling 'glass-like' thermal conductivity.

Multiband Transport in CoSb Prepared by Rapid Solidification.

Nano-grained CoSb was prepared by melt-spinning and subsequent spark plasma sintering. The phonon thermal conductivity of skutterudites is known to be sensitive to the kind and the amount of guest atoms. Thus, unfilled CoSb can serve as model compound to study the impact of a nanostructure on the thermoelectric properties, especially the phonon thermal conductivity.

Crystal structure and optical and magnetic properties of Pr(2)(MoO(4))(3).

Praseodymium molybdate Pr(2)(MoO(4))(3) was synthesized using the standard ceramic route. The crystal structure of the material has been successfully solved in superspace group I2/b(alphabeta0)00 with lattice constants a = 5.30284(4), b = 5.

[Sarcomatous chromophobe cell renal carcinoma. 2 case reports].

Chromophobe cell renal carcinoma is a relatively rare primary tumour of the kidney. We present two cases of sarcomatoid transformation in this type of renal cell carcinoma. Described transformation in chromophobe renal cell carcinoma has been reported previously only in four publications.
