1. Polycystic ovary syndrome - morphologic and dynamic evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder, affecting up to 15% of women of reproductive age. The syndrome is characterized by oligo-anovulation, hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries. What constitutes the best definition of PCOS is still a matter of debate. READ MORE

2. Three-dimensional ultrasound studies of normal and abnormal ovaries
Abstract : The aims of this work were: 1) to estimate the number of follicles, ovarian volume and power Doppler vascular indices and their changes with age using three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal grey-scale and power Doppler ultrasound in asymptomatic women of fertile age either with natural menstrual cycles or using combined oral contraceptives, and 2) to determine whether tumour vascularity, assessed by 3D power Doppler ultrasound, can help discriminate between benign and malignant ovarian tumours. A group of 303 gynaecologically asymptomatic women, aged 20–39 years with normal menstrual cycles (NMC) and another group of 213 women aged 20–39 years using combined oral contraceptives (COC) were examined using two-dimensional (2D) and 3D transvaginal ultrasound once between cycle day 4 and 8.

3. Ovarian cancer. Biomarkers, surgical outcome and survival
Abstract : Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common female cancer worldwide and the most lethal of the gynaecologic malignancies. Around 700 women are diagnosed in Sweden per year. Due to vague symptoms most of the patients are diagnosed with late-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and prognosis is poor, with a five-year survival of 49%. READ MORE

4. Experimental studies on ovarian cryopreservation and transplantation
Abstract : Around 8% of all cancer victims are below 40 years of age and the survival after cancer treatment during childhood and reproductive years has increased considerably to be around 80% today. The clinical field of fertility preservation has emerged to enable cancer patients that are treated with potentially gonadotoxic chemotherapy-radiotherapy during childhood or reproductive ages, to preserve their fertility.

5. Metabolic and ovarian consequences of perinatal sex steroid programming
Abstract : Endocrine and metabolic disturbances in adulthood may stem from insults such as nutritional and hormonal alterations that occur at critical periods in pre- or postnatal life – a process known as programming. This means that suboptimal conditions in utero and early life may contribute to adult reproductive and metabolic impairments such as type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. READ MORE
