Abstract

Functional endometrial disturbances may be divided into four main types: 1) deficient proliferative phase: atrophic endometrium resulting from nonfunctioning ovaries; resting endometrium resulting from inadequate ovarian function; endometrium associated with an anovulatory cycle; and endometrium associated with persistent estrogenic stimulation. 2) deficient secretory phase: delayed secretion (after twenty-two days); persistent secretion; irregular endometrial secretion; and gonadotropic endometrial hyperstimulation. 3) deficient involutive phase: premature involution of the secretory endometrium (synchronous corpus luteum but early breakdown); excessive shedding of the secretory endometrium (synchronous corpus luteum but fast breakdown); and prolonged involution of the secretory endometrium (irregular shedding: persistent corpus luteum). 4) deficient regenerative phase: delayed regeneration (ovular implantation or prolonged treatment by gestagens) and regeneration after curettage or after endometrial subinvolution.

[Migraine and tension headache. New procedures for objective differentiation].

AIMS: Presentation of a new questionnaire for headache analysis that supplements a computer-aided scheme for the diagnosis of headaches. MAJOR POINTS: The classification scheme of the International Headache Society (IHS) represents an instrument for the classification and identification of headaches that makes use of phenomenological criteria. On this basis, a computer program was developed that permits clearly differentiated analysis of various common types of headache. Both primary forms of headaches and clinically relevant secondary forms are taken into account. Since many--although not all--doctor's offices are equipped with personal computers, a questionnaire has now been developed with the aid of which the two major primary forms of headache, migraine and tension headache, can be distinguished. On average, the patient takes only five minutes to complete the questionnaire. Evaluation is performed simply, with the aid of an evaluation sheet. Types of headache other than those described cannot be excluded on the basis of the questionnaire.
