In Brazil, data on the prevalence of AUB is scarce and does not reflect the national reality. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of AUB and associated factors in Brazil. METHODS: Multicenter cross-sectional study, including 8 centers representing the 5 official geographic regions of Brazil...

BACKGROUND: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) that is any irregularity in menstrual cycles causes women to refer to clinics. This study aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and complications of endometrial ablation by the thermal balloon (Cavaterm) method with the hysteroscopy loop resection method in the treatment of AUB. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study is an open-label, randomized clinical trial that was performed in the two hospitals, Shahid Akbarabadi and Hazrat Rasoul Akram, of Tehran, Iran, from December 2019 to October 2020...

BACKGROUND: Pasteurella multocida , is a bacterium that is frequently transmitted to humans from domestic pets. Infections are generally localized, but previous reports have exhibited that Pasteurella can cause systemic infections such as peritonitis, bacteremia and in some rare cases tubo-ovarian abscess. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 46-year-old woman who came to the emergency department (ED) with complaints of pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), and fever...

BACKGROUND: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) has a significant socioeconomic impact since it considerably impacts quality of life. Therapeutic options are frequently based on trial and error and do not target disease aetiology. Pathophysiological insight in this disease is required for the development of novel treatment options. If no underlying cause is found for the AUB (e.g. fibroids, adenomyosis, polyps), endometrial-AUB (AUB-E) is usually caused by a primary endometrium disorder. When AUB is induced by prescribed (exogenous) hormones, it is classified as iatrogenic-AUB (AUB-I)...

The development of minimally invasive techniques has led to the creation of innovative alternatives in cases where traditional methods are not applicable. In modern gynecology, hysteroscopy has become the gold standard for the evaluation and treatment of intrauterine pathology. Endometrial ablation (EA) is a procedure that uses different types of energy to destroy the endometrium and is currently used as an alternative technique in cases of heavy menstrual bleeding when medical treatment has failed and uterine preservation is desired...

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and the resulting cardiac remodeling is a common cause of heart failure. The RNA binding protein Human Antigen R (HuR) has been previously shown to reduce cardiac remodeling following both I/R and cardiac pressure overload, but the full extent of the HuR-dependent mechanisms within cells of the myocardium have yet to be elucidated. In this study, we applied a novel small molecule inhibitor of HuR to define the functional role of HuR in the acute response to I/R injury and gain a better understanding of the HuR-dependent mechanisms during post-ischemic myocardial remodeling...

INTRODUCTION: Heavy menstrual bleeding leads to depletion of iron stores, with subsequent iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA). To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in treatment of ID/IDA caused by abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred and twenty women ≥ 40 years old with chronic AUB and ID/IDA were included in this study for correction of ID/IDA. Participants received FCM infusion for correction of ID/IDA...

BACKGROUND: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the most common health issue in women, defined as any bleeding pattern that differs in frequency, duration, and amount. Endometrial sampling and its histopathological examination is the first-line test in patients presenting with AUB. The aim of this study was to analyze the histopathological patterns of endometrium in women with AUB and to find the predominant histopathologic pattern in the different age groups of women with AUB...

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a distressing menstrual condition that continues to be one of the most common rationales for hysterectomy in underdeveloped countries. It can be either focal (breakthrough bleeding) or diffuse (bleeding throughout the body) (withdrawal bleeding). AUB has a negative impact on a female's physical, social, and emotional well-being. It is caused by chronic endometritis, micro erosions, or vascular fragility caused by micro-vessel structural anomalies. Polyps, submucosal leiomyoma, atrophy, and cancer can all produce endometritis and micro erosions in otherwise healthy endometrium (organic causes)...

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in the reproductive years in non-pregnant women comprises a group of symptoms that include abnormal frequency and the irregular onset of flow as well as prolonged and heavy menstrual bleeding. It is a common, chronic, and debilitating condition affecting women worldwide with an adverse impact on their quality of life. Until the last decade, the "menstrual" terminology used to describe both normal and abnormal uterine bleeding and its underlying causes was inconsistent, creating considerable confusion...

AIM: To investigate the status of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in Japan using the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification (AUB system 1 and 2; PALM-COEIN) and to clarify the relationship between AUB symptoms and the diseases causing AUB. METHODS: In a nationwide study, we enrolled first-time patients who visited target facilities during two consecutive weeks from December 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020. The FIGO classification was used to investigate patients with symptoms and causative diseases of AUB...

INTRODUCTION: We undertook a literature review of the use of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices when utilized for heavy menstrual bleeding and/or dysmenorrhea. METHODS: A narrative review of articles in the Scopus and Medline databases was conducted. RESULTS: A number of options exist for the management of both abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and dysmenorrhea, and evidence is accumulating that the insertion of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) represents a useful option for their long-term treatment...

OBJECTIVES: Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign gynecological tumors. Symptomatic leiomyomas represent a major cause of hospitalization, particularly those associated with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and anemia. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of anemia in women hospitalized due to uterine leiomyomas and evaluate its impact on treatment management and clinical outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Population-based retrospective study of women hospitalized for uterine fibroids in public hospitals in mainland Portugal between 2010 and 2015...

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a clinical entity which can lead to iron deficiency anemia. Classification according to the acronym PALM-COEIN (polyp, adenomyosis, leiomyoma, malignancy, and hyperplasia; coagulopathy, ovulatory dysfunction, endometrial, iatrogenic, and not otherwise classified) provides a structured approach to establish the cause of AUB. The goal of this review is to discuss the different mechanisms and the relationship between uterine disorders and AUB. Heavy menstrual bleeding, a subgroup of AUB, is more closely related to the presence of uterine fibroids...

Menstruation is defined as monthly uterine bleeding, regarded as a sign of reproductive health. When characterized by excessive bleeding (heavy menstrual bleeding [HMB]), it may act as a useful clinical marker for diagnosis of reproductive diseases. Endometrial and myometrial mechanisms underlying abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), which includes HMB, have hormonal, cellular, and molecular aspects. Structural and nonstructural causes of AUB, presenting with HMB as the major symptom, result in iron depletion and consequent anemia...

PURPOSE: To review and compare the most recently published recommendations on the investigation and management of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive review of recommendations from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ACOG), the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG), the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) and the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) on AUB in reproductive-aged women was carried out...

Huntington's disease is a progressive and lethal neurodegenerative disease caused by an increased CAG repeat mutation in exon 1 of the huntingtin gene (mutant huntingtin). Current drug treatments provide only limited symptomatic relief without impacting disease progression. Previous studies in our lab and others identified the abnormal binding of mutant huntingtin protein with calmodulin, a key regulator of calcium signaling. Disrupting the abnormal binding of mutant huntingtin to calmodulin reduces perturbations caused by mutant huntingtin in cell and mouse models of Huntington's disease and importantly normalizes receptor-stimulated calcium release...

AIM: To classify the FIGO's PALM-COEIN etiology for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) patients according to the ultrasound and histopathology and to evaluate the etiology prevalence distribution for AUB patients. METHODS: A total of 1065 women with AUB in the Second Hospital of Shandong University between January 2019 and March 2021. The intrauterine histopathological and ultrasound results were reviewed retrospectively.PALM-COEIN etiology classification was performed according to histopathology and ultrasound...

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is frequently encountered in the gynecological complaint of perimenopausal female visiting the outpatient department. Beginning in mid-40s, perimenopause is often marked with menstrual irregularities. Intramyometrial pregnancy (IMP) is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy with an incidence of <1% of all ectopic gestation may present as AUB in perimenopausal female. It remains a diagnostic challenge, especially in background of negative pregnancy test with the lesion ultrasonographically mimicking a fibroid with or without degeneration or an adenomyoma...
