Clinical observations suggest that estrogen levels above physiologic plasma concentration can result in pathologic endometrial changes. Patients with feminizing ovarian tumors and those with the ...polycystic ovary syndrome who have excessive amounts of endogenous estrogens have a high incidence of endometrial cancer.1-4 Several investigators have noted the development of atypical hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma in women receiving prolonged treatment with various estrogen preparations, including the sequential oral contraceptives.5-11 Until recently, the association of exogenous estrogens with carcinoma of the endometrium had been based on clinical impression, but convincing epidemiological data had been lacking. Recent reports by Smith et al.12 and Ziel and Finkle13 indicate that the risk of endometrial cancer is 5 to 14 times greater in women taking exogenous estrogens.
Patients with hypogonadism are frequently treated with estrogenic substances to initiate the development of breasts and menstrual bleeding. Most of these patients are then maintained on estrogenic preparations for years. Therefore, this group of subjects provides a model for the study of possible development of endometnial changes in response to estrogen therapy.
To date, there have been 12 reported cases of endometrial adenocarcinoma in gonadal dysgenesis patients who received estrogen therapy.14-19 Eleven of these women were known to have received diethylstilbestrol; one patient was taking a sequential ethinyl estradiol-dimethisterone preparation at the time of the study and had previously taken an unknown estrogen preparation for four years.
This article presents information about the relationship of estrogen therapy and endometrial histology in 43 hypogonadal patients followed up in the Pediatric Endocrine Clinic and the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore.

This report documents the clinical outcome of 137 consecutive menstrual extractions. The pre- and postprocedural pregnancy testing is correlated with histologic examination of tissue obtained. This ...report reviews the management of the unsuccessful cases.
Four cases of primary ovarian abscess associated with intrauterine contraceptive devices are presented. It is proposed that both their unilaterality and the fact that they were primary in the ovary ...rather than tuboovarian are due to the fact that bacteria from the intrauterine device are shed continuously through the fallopian tubes, resulting in the inoculation of the corpus luteum, a unilateral structure. Removal of the ovarian abscess without additional surgical therapy is sufficient for a patient with this type of pelvic infection.
The ability to understand the biogeophysical parameters that create ocean color in coastal waters is fundamental to exploiting remote sensing for coastal applications. The apparent color, which is ...the upwelling radiance of large water bodies is determined by the absorption and scattering of light caused by the water, the organic and inorganic material contained in the water, and the bottom, when the albedo is high enough and the water is shallow enough.
Bio‐optical oceanography measures and models the interaction of the light field with the biological and nonbiological constituents of natural waters. One goal of optical oceanography is to be able to use measured radiance to identify and quantify water constituents, referred to as inherent optical properties (IOPs). Linking optical properties with measured water quality parameters often is made through radiative transfer models, in which the light field is modeled through the water and all of its constituents. This modeling is done to evaluate optical closure, which is the ability to accurately predict the upwelling radiance resulting from a known set of constituents.
