Metagenomic Analysis of Milk of Healthy and Mastitis-Suffering Women.

2015

Background: Some studies have been conducted to assess the composition of the bacterial communities inhabiting human milk, but they did not evaluate the presence of other microorganisms, such as fungi, archaea, protozoa, or viruses. Objective: This study aimed to compare the metagenome of human milk samples provided by healthy and mastitis-suffering women. Methods: DNA was isolated from human milk samples collected from 10 healthy women and 10 women with symptoms of lactational mastitis. Shotgun libraries from total extracted DNA were constructed and the libraries were sequenced by 454 pyrosequencing. Results: The amount of human DNA sequences was ≥ 90% in all the samples. Among the bacteri…

Body image during sexual activity in the population of Polish adult women

2020

Introduction. Recently it has been shown that body image during sexual activities is a better predictor of the diversity of sexual experience than body image as a psychological trait. To measure contextual body image (as a state) the Body Exposure During Sexual Activity Questionnaire (BESAQ) was developed. Material and methods. 845 women aged 18-55 years were included in the study. The original model was first translated into Polish and consulted to create the version to be further validated. The original model was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The population was divided in two equal groups – group 1 was used for exploratory factor analysis. Discriminant and convergent va…

Sexual behaviors and function during menopausal transition—does menopausal hormonal therapy play a role?

2020

Objectives: The menopausal transition is a biological adaptation to the variety of life changes (body, comorbidities, relationship), but that biology is not an “end all” in the context of sexual function and overall sexual health. The aim of this study is to evaluate determinants altering the risk of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and other sexual problems and to establish whether menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT) decreases that risk and modifies sexual behaviors. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in 210 women between the ages of 45 and 55. Two groups were identified: MHT users (n = 107) and controls—MHT non-users (n = 103). Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of M…

Enzym-histochemische Studien am cervicalen Dr�senfeld des Uterus

1972

Durch enzym-histochemische Untersuchungen an Cervices soll Einblick in den Stoffwechsel des cervicalen Drusenfeldes gewonnen werden. Hierfur wurden insbesondere die Enzyme des Glucosestoffwechsels, der Fettsaureoxydation, des Pentosephosphatstoffwechsels, des Citronensaurecyclus sowie des NADH- und NADPH-Diaphorese-Systems und des Aminosaurestoffwechsels untersucht. Die einheitliche Nachweistechnik erlaubt in Form eines Art Screening-Tests eine Information uber die vorhandenen Aktivitaten der einzelnen Enzyme, wobei — abgesehen von einem Enzym des Glucosestoffwechsels, namlich der Alkoholdehydrogenase und des Aminosaurestoffwechsels, der Glutamatdehydrogenase — alle Fermente nachgewiesen we…

Phosphatasen in der Placenta und ihren einzelnen Zellfraktionen

1956

In der menschlichen Placentazelle wurde die intracellulare Verteilung der Phosphataseaktivitat bei pH 5,6 und pH 9,8 untersucht. Von der im Gewebe vorhandenen Fermentaktivitat (saure bzw. alkalische Phosphatase) entfallen 82 bzw. 92% auf die Fraktion der Mikrosomen + Cytoplasma, 11 bzw. 7% auf die Mitochondrien und nur 3 bzw. 2% auf die Zellkerne. Die hochste spezifische Aktivitat weisen die Mitochondrien auf. Diese kann durch vorherige Behandlung des Gewebes (Extraktion mit H2O, Stehenlassen bei Zimmertemperatur, Einfrieren und Auftauen) um das 1 1/2–2fache gesteigert werden. Es folgen in absteigender Reihenfolge das Cytoplasma + Mikrosomen und der Zellkern. Die Aktivitat im mutterlichen u…

Scratching beneath 'The Scratching Case': systematic reviews and meta-analyses, the back door for evidence-based medicine

2014

Endometrial scratching or injury was first suggested a decade ago as a simple intervention to improve endometrial receptivity in patients undergoing ART. More than a decade later, based on weak evidence some doctors have adopted this strategy, although there is not yet agreement about its real benefit. In this opinion paper, we analyze the methodological and plausibility problem beneath 'the Scratching Case'. This is also applicable to several other examples of spurious associations reported in the literature. In particular, we emphasize what should be done so as not to dilute evidence-based medicine by a vicious circle created by the over-exploitation of inadequate or insufficient data to …
