Relationships among sexual function, marital intimacy, type D personality and quality of life in patients with ovarian cancer, with spouses.

Objective: This study aimed to identify the relationships among sexual function, marital intimacy, type D personality and quality of life (QoL) in patients with ovarian cancer, with spouses.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used, and 104 patients were recruited using convenience sampling, from the inpatient and outpatient gynaecological clinics of two tertiary medical centres using structured questionnaires.

Results: Of the 104 participants, 31.

Simultaneous laparoscopic and arthroscopic excision of a huge juxta-articular ganglionic cyst compressing the sciatic nerve: A case report.

Background: A large ganglionic cyst extending from the hip joint to the intrapelvic cavity through the sciatic notch is a rare space-occupying lesion associated with compressive lower-extremity neuropathy. A cyst in the pelvic cavity compressing the intrapelvic-sciatic nerve is easily missed in the diagnostic process because it usually presents as atypical symptoms of an extraperitoneal-intrapelvic tumor. We present a case of a huge ganglionic cyst that was successfully excised laparoscopically and endoscopically by a gynecologist and an orthopedic surgeon.

SCRIB Is Involved in the Progression of Ovarian Carcinomas in Association with the Factors Linked to Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Predicts Shorter Survival of Diagnosed Patients.

SCRIB is a polarity protein important in maintaining cell junctions. However, recent reports have raised the possibility that SCRIB might have a role in human cancers. Thus, this study evaluated the roles of SCRIB in ovarian cancers.

Primary hepatoid carcinoma of the ovary: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Hepatoid carcinoma of the ovary (HCO) is a rare disease that originates from the ovarian surface epithelium. It is histologically characterized as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a hepatocyte-rich granular cytoplasm.

Primary malignant melanoma arising from ruptured ovarian mature cystic teratoma with elevated serum CA 19-9: a case report and review of literature.

Background: Ovarian mature cystic teratomas comprise tissues derived from all three germ layers. In rare incidences, malignant tumors may arise from ovarian mature cystic teratoma, which occurs in 0.2-1.
