Maternal adnexal torsion in pregnancy, with a reported incidence of 1-10 per 10,000 spontaneous pregnancies, is very uncommon. Since it has been described as a severe complication after controlled ovarian hyper-stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF), it is more common in IVF pregnancies. This condition mainly occurs in the first trimester; it is rare during the late second trimester. Cons...

In this article, we provide an update on incidence rates of ophthalmic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), in the context of other NHL, in the USA. We also provide population-based estimates of incidence and survival for ocular adnexal NHL, the most common form of ophthalmic NHL, for which descriptive patterns have not been previously reported. Ophthalmic and ocular adnexal NHL have unique incidence ...

AIMS To report the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with ocular adnexal marginal zone B cell lymphoma (MZBL) with IgG4-positive plasma cells. METHODS 114 biopsy samples of ocular adnexal MZBLs were analysed. MZBLs with IgG4-positive plasma cells were included when the IgG4:IgG ratio was >40% (IgG4-related group). The serum levels of each subclass of immunoglobulins and soluble ...

background and objectives: the diagnosis of pregnancy associated adnexal masses is rising due to routine utilization of sonography in prenatal care. the purpose of this study was to describe pregnancy associated adnexal masses over a period of 10 years. patients and methods: a retrospective study was reviewed hospital records of all pregnant women with adnexal mass that underwent surgical resec...

INTRODUCTION Periadnexal adhesions are known to contribute to subfertility. The restoration of the tubo-ovarian anatomy is one the key principles in reproductive surgery, and this involves adhesiolysis. However, adhesion formation/reformation is very common after periovarian adhesiolysis. It is not known if the application of Hyalobarrier®, an anti-adhesion gel, around the adnexal region postsu...

Background: Abdominal adhesions are considered as an important problem in abdominal surgery. In this study we compared the effectiveness of atorvastatin, hyaluronic acid and interceed (oxidized cellulose) in prevention of postoperative intestinal adhesions. Material and Methods: A total of 40 Wistar-albino rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: Group 1 (Sham); Group 2 (Control ...

abstract: introduction: the prevalence of adnexal tumour has been reported to vary between one in eight thousands to 2.3% of pregnancies according to investigational techniques administered. broader use of ultrasonography in pregnancy and the increasing rate of caesarean section (c-section) could be expected to lead to the diagnosis of more adnexal tumours compared to previous studies. aim and ...

In this study, adhesions on individual filopodial shafts were shown to control veil (lamellar) advance and to be modulated by guidance cues. Adhesions were detected in individual filopodia of sensory growth cones using optical recordings, adhesion markers, and electron microscopy. Veils readily advanced along filopodia lacking shaft adhesions but rarely advanced along filopodia displaying shaft...

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of topical administration of honey in prevention of or reduction in post-surgical peritoneal adhesions in dog. The study was conducted on 18 adultfemale mixed-breed dogs with a mean ± SD weight of 20 ± 4.25 kg. A standardized surgical trauma (serosaltrauma model) was made in the dogs’ descending colon to induce adhesion formation. T...

despite of the fact that the vulva contains a high density of apocrine and anogenital mammary glands in addition to eccrine glands and folliculosebaceous units, the benign vulvar adnexal tumours are rare. though the varied clinical presentation and diverse histopathological spectrum of vulvar neoplasms has amazed the pathologists, only few studies have been reported in literature. the present f...
