“…The other cases (42-years-old, 46-years-old, and 68-years-old) were presented with straw-colored or dark-stained discharge from Bartholin’s cyst during the surgical procedure. The hemorrhagic component of the cyst was confirmed based on the pathological report in these cases[ 19 , 23 ]. The presentation of our case was quite different from those reported previously.…”

“…In this case, bright-red blood with some blood clots flew out from the cyst, which was unusual to us. Some cases of a hemorrhagic Bartholin’s cyst have been reported[ 19 , 23 - 25 ]. Details of these cases are summarized in Table 1 .…”

“…Apart from the above, the hemorrhagic Bartholin’s cyst should be differentiated from the endometriosis of the Bartholin’s gland[ 23 ]. Endometriosis is characterized by the estrogen-dependent proliferation of the endometrial gland and stroma at locations other than the uterine cavity.…”

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive and neurodegenerative illness which results in alterations in cognitive development. It is characterized by loss/dysfunction of cholinergic neurons, and formation of amyloid plaques, and formation of neurofibrillary tangles, among other changes, due to hyperphosphorylation of tau-protein. Exposure to pesticides in humans occurs frequently due to contact with contaminated food, water, or particles. Organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids and neonicotinoids are associated with the most diagnosed incidents of severe cognitive impairment. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of these pesticides on the phosphorylation of tau protein, and its cognitive implications in the development of AD. It was found that exposure to pesticides increased the phosphorylation of tau protein at sites Ser198, Ser199, Ser202, Thr205, Ser396 and Ser404. Contact with these chemicals altered the enzymatic activities of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta, and protein phosphatase-2A. Moreover, it altered the expression of the microtubule associated protein tau gene, and changed levels of intracellular calcium. These changes affected tau protein phosphorylation and neuroinflammation, and also increased oxidative stress. In addition, the exposed subjects had poor level of performance in tests that involved evaluation of novelty, as test on verbal, non-verbal, spatial memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
