A considerable number of women with PCOS experience a psychiatric disorder during their lifetime. Clinicians should be aware that women with PCOS are at a high risk for major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and binge-eating disorder.
We suggest that HG appears to be associated with depression and anxiety symptoms rather than deterioration of eating attitudes and body image. However, these results should be confirmed by prospective and clinical studies.
This study was undertaken to compare the diagnostic performance of transvaginal sonography (TVS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and frozen section for detection of cervical involvement in endometrial cancer. The study included 64 consecutive patients with endometrial cancer. The subjects were evaluated with TVS and MRI by two radiologists and the frozen sections by a pathologist. The diagnostic accuracies of TVS, MRI and frozen section were compared using the McNemar test. The accuracy rates of TVS, MRI and frozen section were 90.6%, 92.2% and 95.5%, respectively. There were no statistical significant differences in overall diagnostic performance for the preoperative and intraoperative assessment of cervical involvement, although frozen section seemed to be slightly superior to the imaging techniques. TVS and MRI have similar performance in determination of cervical involvement. However, although time consuming and expensive, MRI may be recommended in cases with poor quality TVS. Frozen section may be advocated where preop-tests are equivocal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
