Design, development and validation of a novel mechanical occlusion device for transcervical sterilization
… are unable to provide an instant occlusion of fallopian tubes. This work aims at the design, development and validation of a novel mechanical occlusion device, which achieve both instant and permanent female sterilization via the transcervical approach. The device is designed to provide an …

American Anti-Welfare Right-Wing Populism: The Case of Bucktown
… citizens $1000 in exchange for having their fallopian tubes tied or receiving vasectomies. Most respondents expressed that the sterilization proposal was targeted at low-income blacks. Although work ethic deficiency was used to frame poverty and welfare-dependency, support and opposition for …

Immunohistochemical and molecular studies on ovarian cancer progression and prognosis
… deposits from 33 cases and benign-appearing fallopian tubes from 38 cases. In addition, an independent gene expression data set with 285 EOC cases was analyzed, and relevant cell line models used for validation of investigative antibodies. In paper I, expression of the androgen receptor (AR) …

Characterization of Redox Active Natural Compounds in Chlamydia Infection
… disease, 2) inflammation of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries/pelvic peritoneum, and 3) infertility. Because of the medical burden and the growing threat of antibiotic resistance for Ct, there is an urgent need for new treatment strategies to fight diseases induced by Ct infection. …

Notchless Interacts with Multiple Signaling Pathways during Mouse Peri-Implantation Development
… transitions from a suspension environment in the fallopian tubes to an adherent system within the uterus. Successful transition requires maternal and fetal signaling cascades that establish maternal-fetal boundaries. Failure is common, as ~ 25% of all human pregnancies terminate during these …

Sexual adjustment of women undergoing pelvic exenteration with vaginal reconstruction
… organs (including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and vagina). The myocutaneous gracilis graft procedure is the preferred technique for neovaginal reconstruction. This study assesses the sexual adjustment of 40 women who have undergone pelvic exenteration at a 500-bed southwestern …

Novel method of selecting human spermatozoa for <em>In </em><em>Vitro </em>fertilization
… viscous cervical mucus, the uterus and into the fallopian tubes. The more spermatozoa are released into the vagina, and the more motile they are, the more spermatozoa will be able to penetrate through the cervical mucus and potentially find the oocyte. Even the morphology of spermatozoa provides …

Advancing Ovarian Cancer Diagnostics: Discovering Potential Protein Biomarkers in Extracellular Vesicles
… that majority of HGSOCs typically arise from the fallopian tubes (FT), our biomarker search concentrated on proteins present on the surface of EVs released by both FT and HGSOC tissue explants and representative cell lines. Using LC-MS/MS, 985 exo-proteins were identified that comprised the …

Genetic Imbalances in Endometriosis Detected by Oligonucleotide-Array Based Comparative Genomic Hybridization
… approximately 90% of women with unobstructed fallopian tubes are thought to have some menstrual debris in the peritoneal cavity. Therefore, this theory does not explain in full why endometriosis occurs in some but not all women who experience retrograde bleeding.</p> <p>Genetic factors are …

The effects of di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (dehp) on lesion development in a mouse model of endometriosis
… aggregates into the peritoneal cavity via the fallopian tubes in a process known as retrograde menstruation. These endometrial fragments attach and invade the peritoneal surfaces, eventually forming lesions. Primates are the only species that naturally develop endometriosis, however due to the …

Voices of Endo: Cultural Factors Influencing Delayed Diagnosis of Endometriosis
… anatomy, meaning the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, live with endometriosis, which is about 200 million people worldwide. Endometriosis is a disease in which the growth of endometrial-like tissue grows around the reproductive organs, rectum, bladder, or throughout the …

Understanding the Collective Dynamics of Motile Cilia in Human Airways
… in the brain, the transport of ovules in the fallopian tubes, and breaking the left/right symmetry in the embryo. Another notable example, and one that is central to this thesis, is mucociliary clearance in human airways: A carpet of motile cilia helps keeping the cell surface free from …
