the objective of this study was to highlight the postnatal development of the uterine tubes of the west african dwarf goat from birth to 28 weeks of age by gross examination and light microscopy. there was a caudal migration of the paired uterine tubes from behind the paired kidneys at birth to the pelvic inlet at week 8 of age. each uterine tube exhibited three segments namely; infundibulum, a...

reproductive abnormalities cause major losses of sheep production. abattoir materials were used todetermine the extent of reproductive wastage. reproductive tracts were collected from 524 ewes slaughtered at urmia slaughter-house in urmia, northwest of iran, during a period of 12 months. overall, 30.10% of the ewes examined were pregnant. a total of 149 (28.44%) tracts developed acquired reprod...

Introduction Ectopic pregnancy may be defined as implantation of fertilized ovum out side the normal uterine cavity. It may occur in tube (95%), the uterus (intramural, angular, cervical or in rudimentary horn), the ovary, the broad ligament or else where in the peritoneal cavity. The common site in the tube is the ampulla, followed by the isthmus. In the ampulla, the pregnancy is often expelle...

OBJECTIVE Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) are the most common complication after hysteroscopy in patients of reproductive age. Intra-abdominal anti-adhesion gel reduces the incidence of adhesions, but effects on fertility after uterine surgery are not known. The objective of our work was to evaluate the effect of intrauterine anti-adhesion gel on spontaneous fertility after repeated intrauterine ...

Objective: The aim of this trial was to determine whether endometrial scratch-suction caused by insertion tube of (IUCD) with suction improved the probability of pregnancy in the subsequent IVF cycle in patients who had previous failed IVF outcome by removing small polyps and any hazardous materials. Design: Observational prospective cohort experimental study. Setting: Zagazig University Hospit...

Vaginal ultrasonography of uterine peristalsis during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle demonstrates an increasing frequency and intensity of subendometrial and myometrial peristaltic waves as the follicular phase progresses. During this time the numbers of contraction waves with a fundo-cervical direction decrease considerably in favour of waves of contraction with a cervico-fundal d...

Aim: To keep the cervical canal dilated after the fi rst high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy fraction to avoid general anesthesia during subsequent applications. Patients and Methods: In the fi rst HDR brachytherapy application: examination and cervical dilatation was done under general anesthesia. The proximal 4 cm of urinary Foley catheter was cut (making the new cervical tube), inserted in th...

Induced abortions continue to be practiced, despite availability of contraceptive-based methods. Their commonest immediate and early complications are hemorrhage, retained products of conception, genital tract infections, and lacerations. Uterine perforation can be complicated by injuries to small intestines, bladder, rectum, appendix, and rarely to fallopian tubes. We report here on a case of ...

OBJECTIVES This study is aimed at determining the pattern of abnormalities in the Hysterosalpingograms of patients who attended the Radiology Unit of Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki. METHOD The 188 hysterosalpingograms conducted between January 2002 to December 2005 were analysed.. RESULTS The mean age in this study was 31 years. Forty-one (21.8%) Hysterosalpingograms w...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to propose a new method for imaging the uterine cavity and Fallopian tube patency by three-dimensional dynamic magnetic resonance hysterosalpingography (3D dMR-HSG) and to analyse if, by using a higher viscosity contrast solution, direct visualization of the Fallopian tubes may be achieved by this new technique. METHODS 10 consecutive infertile women u...
