Peritonitis After Endometrial Cytology in a Woman With Hydrosalpinx Caused by Chronic Infection.

Some women infected with (CT) are asymptomatic, while others experience lower abdominal discomfort when the inflammatory process extends to the fallopian tubes. Without treatment, salpingitis can progress to pelvic peritonitis and subsequently, peritonitis in the upper abdomen, a condition known as Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, in some cases. A nucleic acid amplification assay is required for diagnosing CT infection.

Uterine Cervical Adenosarcoma Showing an Endophytic Growth Pattern.

Adenosarcomas are biphasic neoplasms that usually originate in the uterine corpus and comprise a benign epithelial component and a malignant stromal component. Uterine adenosarcomas typically present with abnormal genital bleeding, an enlarged uterus, and a tumor that protrudes into the endometrial cavity. These tumors rarely protrude through the cervical os and are often misdiagnosed as cervical polyps.

Renal Subcapsular Hematoma Formation Due to Hydronephrosis Caused by Recurrent Uterine Cervical Cancer.

Most non-traumatic renal subcapsular hematomas are found in the presence of primary or metastatic renal tumors, or in the presence of vascular disease of the renal blood vessels. We managed an asymptomatic renal subcapsular hematoma that formed due to uterine cervical cancer that metastasized to the left common iliac lymph nodes. A 48-year-old woman with stage IB1 cervical cancer underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiation following a radical hysterectomy.

Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia 3 in a Woman Without Simultaneous Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasm.

In the presence of the uterus, it is rare that vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN) alone exists. We described our experience with a case in which VAIN3 was found in the vaginal fornix without lesions in the uterine cervix. She had cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CIN) 1 several years ago.

Villoglandular Papillary Adenocarcinoma With Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 3 of the Cervix in a Woman With a Misdiagnosis of a Cervical Polyp.

We report a case in which a polypoid lesion with a diameter of 5 mm was diagnosed as a cervical polyp due to a negative Papanicolaou (Pap) smear in the cervix, and polypectomy revealed a diagnosis of villoglandular papillary adenocarcinoma (VGA) on histopathological examination. A 63-year-old woman with a cervical polyp, who had no abnormal symptoms and a negative Pap smear was referred to our hospital. We performed cervical polypectomy, and the pathological result was VGA with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 3.

WAPL induces cervical intraepithelial neoplasia modulated with estrogen signaling without HPV E6/E7.

Since cervical cancer still afflicts women around the world, it is necessary to understand the underlying mechanism of cervical cancer development. Infection with HPV is essential for the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). In addition, estrogen receptor signaling is implicated in the development of cervical cancer.

Impact of improvement of sleep disturbance on symptoms and quality of life in patients with functional dyspepsia.

Background/aims: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is often comorbid with sleep disturbance. However, it is not fully understood how sleep disturbance affects the pathophysiology of FD. We aimed to investigate the relationship between FD and sleep disturbance.

Short-term Prospective Questionnaire Study of Early Postoperative Quality of Life After Colorectal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection.

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become popular as an alternative to laparoscopy-assisted colectomy (LAC) for early colorectal cancer.

Aim: To validate postoperative quality of life (QOL) based on subjective symptoms of patients from questionnaire survey.

Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients planned to undergo ESD for adenoma or Tis/T1a cancer at our institution between December 2011 and January 2013.

Influence of co-infection complicated with human papillomavirus on cervical intraepithelial neoplasia development in patients with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance.

Aim: Human papillomaviruses (HPV) infection is a primary cause of the development of cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer. However, the influence of other infections on intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) development has not been fully elucidated. We evaluated the association between co-infection and CIN development in subjects with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS).

Use of fibrin monomer complex for screening for venous thromboembolism in the late pregnancy and post-partum period.

Aim: We measured fibrin monomer complex (FMC) levels in all subjects who gave birth at our hospital and evaluated the feasibility of using FMC for screening for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients during late pregnancy and the post-partum period.

Methods: From August 2010 to January 2012, all women who gave birth at our hospital were included. FMC and D-dimer levels were determined during the late pregnancy and post-partum periods.

Modified repeated intracyclic clomiphene citrate therapy after conventional clomiphene therapy.

Purpose Of Investigation: We compared modified repeated intracyclic clomiphene citrate therapy (RICCT) to gonadotropin therapy to determine whether this modified regimen was an effective alternative after conventional clomiphene therapy.

Methods: Patients with ovulation disorder received treatment with modified RICCT and gonadotropin, and ovulation, pregnancy, total drug cost, and adverse effects were compared.

Results: Among a total of 16 patients, 14 successfully ovulated after modified RICCT and 11 ovulated after gonadotropin therapy; two did not respond to either therapy.

Repeated intracyclic clomiphene citrate therapy can be more effective than hMG therapy in inducing ovulation: case report.

Purpose Of Investigation: When clomiphene citrate is ineffective in the treatment of anovulation, hMG administration is typically selected. However, high-dose hMG therapy is associated with a variety of adverse events. We describe the use of a modified clomiphene citrate regimen that was successful in increasing the effectiveness of ovulation induction.
