Infertility is a critical component of reproductive health. The tuboperitoneal factors are responsible in about 25-37% cases of female infertility and hence evaluation of tubal patency represents a key step and a basic investigation in the assessment of infertile women. To carry out diagnosis of tubal factors by HSG and diagnostic laparoscopy and observe efficacy and to compare the effectivenes...

Aquaporin-5 (AQP5), a water channel, plays key roles in salivary secretion. The novel phosphorylation of AQP5 was investigated by using human salivary gland (HSG) cells and mouse salivary glands. In the HSG cells stably transfected with a wild-type mouse AQP5 construct, a protein band immunoreactive with antibody against phosphorylated PKA substrate was detected in the AQP5 immunoprecipitated s...

A total of 88 Fallopian tubes from 44 patients was examined with hysterosalpingo contrast sonography (HyCoSy), hysterosalpingogram (HSG), and laparoscopic chromopertubation (LC) in order to assess their relative accuracy for measuring tubal patency. HyCoSy was done by transvaginal ultrasound and the contrast was SH U 454 (Echovist). The flow of multiple fractions of the contrast medium through ...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes cell survival and differentiation in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Previously, we reported that BDNF is produced by salivary glands under acute immobilization stress in rats. However, expression of BDNF is poorly understood in humans, although salivary gland localization of BDNF in rodents has been demonstrated. In the present stud...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to describe the first experiences with hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy) as a first step routine office procedure for tubal patency testing. METHODS A prospective observational cohort study was started in a university affiliated teaching hospital. In 2010, 73 patients with subfertility and a low risk of tubal pathology were examined. A non-toxic foam...

introduction: infertility is a common complication present in 10-15% of the population. it causes serious problems for the family. there are different methods for evaluation and treatment of infertility. one of the routine tests is hysterosalpingography that was first used in1922 and with changes in types of contrast media and its techniques, it is the primary test for simultaneous evaluation o...

background: genital tuberculosis (tb) is an important cause of infertility in the developing countries, where hysterosalpingography (hsg) remains an initial diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of tubal and peritoneal factors leading to infertility. objective: the aim of this study was to determine the hsg findings of genital tb in infertile women. materials and methods: we retrospectively re...

Background Müllerian anomalies are associated with infertility. Hysteroscopy as the gold standard of evaluating Müllerian anomalies is an invasive, expensive and risky procedure which requires enough experience. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) and hysterosalpingography (HSG) are less invasive procedures, but their accuracy is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of combinati...

Background To introduce the application of hysterosalpingography in the investigation of female infertility for midwives. MaterialsAndMethods s:344:"A review was performed within articles published at “PubMed”, “Elsevier”, "Google Scholar", "EBSCO", original text books and etc. to reach the aim. Lots of unique high-quality hysterosalpingograms were provided in this article, using the archive of...
