    Iatrogenic metrorrhagia after the use of itraconazole for onychomycosis.
    Indian J Pharmacol 2017 Nov-Dec;49(6):470-471
    Department of Dermatology, Nicolina Medical Centre, Apollonia University, "P.Poni" Research Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Lasi, Romania.
    We present first case report on itraconazole, a drug very commonly used for onychomycosis, used along with simvastatin that caused metrorrhagia. The suggested probable mechanism is the inhibition of steroidogenesis, especially estrogens that resulted in low-estrogen breakthrough bleeding. This article emphasizes the importance of drug interaction check prior the initiation of onychomycosis treatment. Read More

    Expression of matrix metalloproteinase enzymes in endometrium of women with abnormal uterine bleeding.
    Neuro Endocrinol Lett 2018 Feb;38(8):537-543
    1st Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical University of Warsaw, Poland.
    Objectives: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is caused by derangement of physiological processes of tissue growth, shedding and regeneration.

    2 Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Newark, NJ, USA.
    From 1861 to 1962, clinicopathologic research tried to explain the association of abnormal uterine bleeding with uterine enlargement. The etiology was theorized as metropathy, suggesting that myometrial dysfunction may predispose to abnormal uterine bleeding. Research reached a nadir in 1962, when a major review dismissed myometrial hypertrophy as a plausible explanation after prior rejections of the theories of chronic myometritis, fibrosis uteri, and subinvolution as causes of bleeding.

The origin of these cells, in both sexes, remains unknown and is still a matter of debate. Read More
