Female Treatment Options Female Anatomy Problems Problems with the fallopian tubes, uterus or cervix require immediate attention. After diagnosing the problem by using hysteroscopy ( a close visual examination of the uterus) or imaging procedures including ultrasound (the use of sound waves to see the ovaries and uterus) and hysterosalpingogram (HSG, an x-ray technique which uses dye injected into the uterus to see if it is normal and if the tubes are open), fertility specialists may perform a laparoscopy (minimally invasive surgery) to correct the anatomic problems, or robotic surgery for

Our laboratory takes a geroscience approach to understanding biological processes that contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. The long-term goals of our laboratory are to: identify nonpharmacological interventions that target insulin and glutamate signaling pathways that prevent or alleviate cognitive decline and elucidate their mechanisms of action in order to identify pharmacological targets for treating Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. To address these goals, our laboratory has several ongoing research interests examining the contribution of body temperature
