The response to mechanical distension of the non-pregnant human uterus in vivo
- 1978

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The ability of the uterus to contract in response to mechanical distension has been utilized in the development of a method, hysterometry, for the quantification of hormonal and pharmacological effects on the human myometrium in vivo. The method has been built up with due consideration for laws from mechanics of materials and hydrodynamics. By applying mathematical theorems and accepting certain approximations, the basic results of recordings of intrauterine pressure are transformed inte wall tension, allowing for the size of the uterus. The equivalent of an elasticity modulus in the myometrium has been used as a synthetic discriminator (without any real physiologic correlation) for the evaluation of hormonal and pharmacological effects.Hysterometry har been used for the evaluation of uterine tonicity during the menstrual cycle. It was demonstrated that uterine tonicity is higher in the proliferative than in the secretory phase. The uterine tonicity correlated well with the concentrations in serum of estradiol and progesterone at the time of the examination.Hysterometry has also been used for the evaluation of effects of inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis (Naproxen Sodium and Naproxen acid) and of a selective beta-2-receptor stimulator (Salbutamol) upon the uterus in women with primary dysmenorrhea. It was shown that uterine tonicity was high on the first day of menstruation in untreated or placebo-treated dysmenorrheic women. Administration of inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis or beta-2-receptor stimulating agents markedly decreased the uterine tonicity and relieved the menstrual pain.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Prophylactic mastectomy is an effective risk-reducing option in women with hereditary increased risk of breast cancer. It may be combined with immediate reconstruction, with the intention of improving aesthetic outcome and health-related quality of life. Sixty-one women underwent prophylactic mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction in Malmö, Sweden, between 1995 and 2003. Forty women underwent bilateral prophylactic mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. Ten of these had a previous breast cancer diagnosis. Twenty-one women underwent contralateral prophylactic mastectomy and immediate reconstruction after a previous breast cancer. Fifty-four of the women (89%) were evaluated clinically for aesthetic results and complications. Patient satisfaction and quality of life were evaluated with one study-specific and two standardised health-related questionnaires administered at time of clinical follow-up. Median follow-up time was 42 months (range 7–99 months). The position of the reconstructed breasts was judged as satisfactory in 77% of breasts. Symmetry in relation to the midline was adequate in 89% of breasts. A capsular contracture grade III according to Baker and indentation tonometry was observed in 1% of breasts (1/104). The complication rate was 18% (7% early and 11% late). Secondary corrections were carried out in 11% of breasts. The study-specific questionnaire revealed a high degree of satisfaction. No woman regretted the procedure, and all women would have chosen the same type of surgery again. An age-stratified comparison of Swedish women using the Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) questionnaire was carried out for this study. The study population scores were high, suggesting that prophylactic mastectomy and immediate reconstruction on both physical and psychological issues in this retrospective study had no negative effect. Also, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) questionnaire did not suggest any increased anxiety or depression among the patients. Prophylactic mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction in women at risk of hereditary breast cancer may be carried out with a satisfactory aesthetic outcome and an acceptable rate of complications comparable to those in other studies, and does not in itself seem to be associated with a decreased quality of life.
