Objective: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) remains a great therapeutic challenge with no optimal treatment available. Tissue maintenance and remodeling are performed by fibroblasts, therefore altered cellular functionality may influence tissue quality. In this study, we evaluated functional characteristics of fibroblasts from tissues involved in POP. Study design: To rule out normal ageing tissue d...

LE were hyperrnobile and all but 2 were located at the leaflet coaptation point. All mitra l LE prolapsed 1nto the atrium during systole and the aortic LE prolapsed into the outflow tract during diastole. No LE were noted on the tricusp1d and pulmonic valves. No subject had a cardioembolic event during Jongterm lollow up. Conclusions: 1) LE are common (14%) in subjects with normal hearts. 2) LE...

uterine inversion is shortly described as the indentation and depression of the fundic area extending downwards up to the different levels of the birth canal till vaginal opening. clinical diagnosis of uterine inversion is difficult due to its non-specific symptoms and physical examination. ultrasonography is the most practical modality for radiological evaluation, but it is inadequate to deter...

e-posta: [email protected] Abstract Leiomyomas, or fibroids, are the most common benign tumors of the uterus. Pedunculated submucous myomas usually cause menstrual irregularities but rarely labor like pain through dilating the cervix and prolapsing through it with possible avulsion of the twisted necrotic prolapsed portion. We present a case of pedunculated submucous myoma, mimicking cervica...
