Elevated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and dietary fat intake in women with cyclic mastopathy

Article Abstract:

A high-fat diet may contribute to cyclic mastopathy. This condition is characterized by breast swelling, tenderness and pain during the last phase of the menstrual cycle. Researchers measured blood levels of fat in 34 women with severe cyclic mastopathy and 29 women without this condition. The women with cyclic mastopathy had elevated blood levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol during the symptomatic phase compared to the other women. Their dietary fat intake was also greater at all times compared to the other group.

The Noble-Mengert-Fish operation - revisited: a composite approach for persistent rectovaginal fistulas and complex perineal defects

Article Abstract:

The Noble-Mengert-Fish technique appears to be effective in treating rectovaginal fistulas and other perineal injuries. The perineum is often damaged during childbirth, sometimes creating a link between the rectum and vagina. Women with this damage cannot hold stool and suffer from severe embarrassment. The Nobel-Mengert-Fish surgical technique was successfuly in 94% of 34 women with fecal incontinence due to perineal injuries.
