Loss of PKBβ/Akt2 predisposes mice to ovarian cyst formation and increases the severity of polycystic ovary formation in vivo

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2012
SUMMARY Ovarian cysts affect women of all ages and decrease fertility. In particular, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), in which multiple follicular cysts develop, affects 5–10% of women of reproductive age and can result in infertility.

Frequency and Phenotype of Coexisting Aquaporin‐4 and Autoimmune Encephalitis Autoantibodies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among 9457 aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) immunoglobulin G‐positive patients, 2071 underwent autoimmune encephalitis antibody testing and 85 (4%) had coexisting antibodies, most commonly cerebrospinal fluid glial fibrillary acidic protein‐IgG and N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor‐IgG, or serum high‐titer GAD65‐IgG.

Huge bilateral ovarian cysts in adulthood as the presenting feature of Van Wyk Grumbach syndrome due to chronic uncontrolled juvenile hypothyroidism

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013
Juvenile primary hypothyroidism causing cystic ovaries and pseudoprecocious puberty (Van-Wyk Grumbach syndrome (VWGS)) is well documented in literature. There are only a few reports of primary hypothyroidism presenting as ovarian cysts in adults. Here we

Protease‐Activated Theranostic Nanomedicine for Endometriosis Treatment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects a substantial proportion of reproductive‐aged women. In this study, we identify aberrant overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) in endometriotic lesions and develop a novel multifunctional nanomedicine that integrates MMP‐9‐targeted therapy, ratiometric photoacoustic (PA ...

Neonatal Ovarian Cysts: Management with Reference to Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Asian Journal of Surgery, 2004
Ultrasound (US) has been used as a tool to determine the indication for surgery for neonatal ovarian cysts. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contributes to optimal management. Methods: Between 1993 and

A Wearable Microfluidic Sweat‐Patch Pilot Study for Detecting Breast‐Cancer Proteins CEA and PIP/GCDFP‐15

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A passive capillary‐driven microfluidic patch standardizes noninvasive sweat collection from the axilla and chest during exercise. Paired sweat and capillary blood samples enable laboratory ELISA analysis of CEA and PIP. CEA is detectable but often below quantification limits, while PIP remains undetectable in sweat.

Inorganic Nanomaterials can Promote or Inhibit Tumor Metastasis Depending on Tumor Microenvironment Composition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As engineered nanomaterials gain prominence in cancer imaging and therapy, understanding their impact on tumor progression becomes increasingly critical. We demonstrate that gold and silica‐coated gold nanomaterials can either suppress or enhance breast cancer metastasis through distinct tumor microenvironment interactions, while identifying ...

Serum and peritoneal fluid concentrations of soluble human leukocyte antigen, tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 10 in patients with selected ovarian pathologies

Journal of Ovarian Research, 2017
Background Although immune system plays a key role in the pathogenesis of both endometriosis and ovarian cancer, its function is different. Therefore, we hypothesized, that selected immune parameters can serve as diagnostic markers of these two ...
