Abstract

This study was set up to evaluate the predictive value of hysteroscopic examination in patients referred to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Medical and Health Science Center, Debrecen, Hungary. The authors performed 835 biopsies by hysteroscopy over more than 13 years. They compared their findings with histological findings held in a a computerized clinical database. The sensitivity of hysteroscopy was 0.52 for hyperplasia, 0.87 for polyps, 0.85 for myomas, 0.68 for carcinoma, and 0.73 for atrophy. It seems that for findings facing into the uterine cavity (such as submucosal myomas and peduncular polyps), hysteroscopy can predict the histological results. The evaluation of endometrial cycles and of the thickness of the endometrium by hysteroscopy is less accurate.

Cell Atlas of the Human Eye

Constructing a cell atlas of the human eye will require transcriptomic and histologic analysis over the lifespan. This understanding will aid in the study of development and disease. Find the latest research pertaining to the Cell Atlas of the Human Eye here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
