2. 1. Host epithelium integrity in the female reproductive tract during Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection

   Author : Linda Weyler; Helena Aro; Lene Rasmussen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Female reproductive tract; Neisseria gonorrhoeae; VK2 E6E7 cells; DNA damage; cell cycle; mitosis; restriction endonucleases; infection models; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Abstract : Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections are asymptomatic in approximately fifty percent of the affected women. Left untreated, this can develop into a long-term inflammatory state with detrimental secondary complications such as ectopic pregnancy and sterility. Furthermore, studies have shown that N.

4. 2. Biological Markers of Fertility

   Author : Sarah Nordqvist; Helena Åkerud; Karin Kårehed; Agneta Skoog Svanberg; Anneli Stavreus-Evers; Geraldine Hartshorne; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; angiogenesis; embryogenesis; female reproductive tract; fertility; fertilization; Histidine-rich glycoprotein; intron; in vitro fertilization; oocyte; ovarian response; pregnancy; single nucleotide polymorphism; Src homology 2 domain-containing adapter protein B;

   Abstract : Infertility affects 15 % of couples, which corresponds to 60 - 80 million worldwide. The microenvironments in which the oocyte, embryo and fetus mature are vital to the establishment and development of a healthy pregnancy. READ MORE

5. 3. G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER) in the female reproductive tract: from physiology to cancer

   Author : Zuzana Kolkova; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Estrogen effects are mediated either through genomic action involving the classical estrogen receptors, estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and beta (ERß), which function as transcription factors in the nucleus, or through rapid non-genomic action via receptors associated with plasma membrane. Recently, a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family was ascribed estrogen receptor properties and proposed as a candidate for mediating non-genomic estrogen signaling. READ MORE

6. 4. Nitric oxide synthase in female reproductive and urinary organs: Hormonal regulation and functional significance

   Author : Jassim Al-Hijji; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gynaecology; Obstetrics; estrogen; trophoblast; placenta; vagina; Nitric oxide; uterus; ovarian steroids; andrology; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; reproduktion; sexualitet;

   Abstract : Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity was studied in cytosolic and particulate fractions in reproductive organs from rabbit (uterus and vagina) and rat (uterus, vagina and cervix). NOS was found predominantly in cytosolic fractions in all tissues and the activity of NOS in both fractions was highly Ca2+ dependent. READ MORE

7. 5. Female urinary incontinence. A study on heredity, urodynamic and hormonal factors and the evaluation of a novel surgical technique

   Author : Maria Andrada; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Female urinary incontience; pelvic organ prolapse; pelvic floor disorders; urodynamics; urethral parameters at rest; surgical outcome; serum estradiol; perimenopause; TVT; TVT-Secur; familial aggregation; risk for surgery; first grade relatives;

   Abstract : Abstract Pelvic floor disorders (PFD) represent a major public health issue worldwide. Aims of this work Study I: to investigate associations between preoperative resting urethral parameters (MUCP, FL and CA) and objective outcome of laparoscopic colposuspension and, if possible, to identify cutoff values useful in clinical practice.
