Assessment of myometrial infiltration and preoperative staging by transvaginal ultrasound in patients with endometrial carcinoma
1995
In recent years, the incidence of carcinoma of the endometrium has shown an upward trend, such that it is currently the most frequently encountered malignant tumor of the female genital tract. An accurate preoperative diagnosis of the extent and spread of such carcinomas is of crucial importance for the selection of a therapeutic approach appropriate to the stage and infiltration of each particular tumor. In a prospective study of 80 patients with a carcinoma of the endometrium, performed at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of Mainz, we compared the preoperative findings of transvaginal sonography with the postoperative histological results with respect to the f…

OC2.01: Examination of the fetal brain by three-dimensional ultrasound: potential for routine neurosonographic studies
2005
Objective: To evaluate the role of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound in the assessment of the fetal brain and its potential for routine neurosonographic studies. Methods: We studied prospectively 202 consecutive brain fetuses between 16 and 24 weeks’ gestation. A 3D-ultrasound volume of the fetal head was acquired transabdominally. The entire brain anatomy was later analyzed by a sonologist expert in neonatal cranial sonography using the multiplanar images. The quality of the conventional planes obtained (coronal, sagittal and axial, at different levels) and the ability to visualize properly the major brain anatomic structures were evaluated. Results: Acceptable rendered cerebral volumes we…

Armbrust et al. 2015: Randomization questionable
2016
It is certainly possible that Cesarean delivery modifications like the one described by Armbrust, Hinkson, von Wiezsacker, and Henrich [1] are well received by mothers and partners, but some seriou...
Embryonic adhesion is not affected by endometrial leptin receptor gene silencing.
2006
Objective In rodents, evidence suggests that the leptin system is mandatory for embryonic implantation. We aimed to investigate the functional relevance of the endometrial leptin receptor (OB-R) in the adhesion phase of human implantation. Design We used an in vitro model for embryonic adhesion, composed of a human endometrial cell line (HEC1-A) and B6C3F1 mouse embryos. The OB-R gene was silenced in a stable manner by RNA interference, and embryonic adhesion rates were analyzed. Setting Research laboratory at a university-affiliated center. Intervention(s) RNA interference. Main Outcome Measure(s) Embryonic adhesion in cells treated with OB-R RNAi. Result(s) The OB-R shRNA-transfected cell…
