Uterine dehiscence in term pregnant patients with one previous cesarean delivery: Growth factor immunoexpression and collagen content in the scarred lower uterine segment
Article Abstract:
A study to investigate the relationship between the occurrences of uterine dehiscence in term pregnant scarred uteri and the presence of altered biochemical behavior of the scarring process was conducted. The results revealed that uterine dehiscence of scarred uterus may be related to altered biochemical behavior of the scarring process.

Impact of menopause on collagen subtypes in the arcus tendineous fasciae pelvis
Article Abstract:
The impact of menopause on the structural components of the arcus tendineous fasciae pelvis (ATFP) is determined. The decrease in the quantity of collagen I in the ATFP, results in a decrease in the ratio of collagen I/(III+V), compromises the tensile strength and increases susceptibility to anterior vaginal wall prolapse.
