| laparoscopic co2 laser uterine nerve ablation for treatment of drug resistant primary dysmenorrhea. | twenty women with drug-resistant primary dysmenorrhea were subjected to laparoscopic co2 laser uterine nerve ablation. menstrual pain assessed by a linear analog pain score showed a reduction of 33%, decreasing from 7.5 +/- 0.5 preoperatively to 5.0 +/- 1.7 postoperatively. the procedure was free of major complications and should be considered as a second-line therapeutic option in women who have failed medical treatment using nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents or ocs. | 2006 | 1386032 |
| morphological evidence that activated polymorphs circulate in the peripheral blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. | purified peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leucocytes (pmns) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (ra) have been found to differ from purified pmns from normal subjects in ways that are consistent with their prior activation. however, it is currently contentious whether activated pmns really circulate in patients with ra, or whether they are produced as an in vitro artefact of purification. recently developed rapid leucocyte fixation and preparation technique showed that the proportion of po ... | 2006 | 1540020 |
| mucin-producing cells and endocrine cells of gallbladder epithelium in patients with uncomplicated cholelithiasis. | in this study we have investigated various morphofunctional features of gallbladder mucosa in patients with uncomplicated cholelithiasis. the histological changes, endocrine cell types and their distribution, and mucin-producing cells were characterized by immunocytochemistry and mucin histochemistry; moreover, we attempted to correlate these findings to the number and size of gallbladder stones and the type of bacteria present in the bile. our results indicate that, despite similar clinical par ... | 2006 | 1855773 |
