Background: Müllerian anomalies are associated with infertility. Hysteroscopy as the gold standard for 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 there is little known about the accuracy of these tests. The aim of this stud...

Abstract Study question To assess whether Hystero-salpingo-Foam Sonography (HyFoSy) is an effective and feasible alternative to X-ray Hystero-Salpingo-Graphy (HSG) Hystero-salpingo-Contrast (HyCoSy) in fallopian tube patency assessment. Summary answer HyFoSy demonstrated significantly superior diagnostic sensitivity specificity compared HyCoSy, however only minimal agreement with HSG. What know...

Background & aim: Despite the identification of hysteroscopy as the most accurate method for the diagnosis of uterine cavity disorders, the patients are initially subjected to hysterosalpingography (HSG).  In this regard, the present study aimed to compare the diagnostic value of HSG and hysteroscopy in the detection of uterine cavity abnormalities in infertile women. Methods: This cross-sectio...

A case of late first trimester/early second trimester recurrent pregnancy loss in a 30-year-old para 3+0 Nigerian woman is reported. She was referred to the Radiologist for Hysterosalpingography (HSG) work-up following repeated spontaneous abortions at early pregnancy stage. There was no history of trauma, surgery, alcohol/drug abuse or haematological disorder such as sickle cell anaemia or Tha...

OBJECTIVE To study histamine transport and metabolism of salivary gland (SG) epithelial cells in healthy controls and SS patients. METHODS Enzymes and transporters involved in histamine metabolism were analysed in cultured human submandibular salivary gland (HSG) epithelial cells and tissue sections using quantitative real-time PCR and immunostaining. HSG cells were used to study [(3)H]histam...

Background: Tubal pathology ranks among the most frequent causes of subfertility, next to ovulatory disorders and sperm defects .There fore , assessment of tubal patency is a fundamental part of infertility workup. Investigation for tubal disease can be divided into radiological tests: hysterosalpingography (HSG) , selective salpingography and hystero-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy) , microbiologi...

Background: This study showed the patterns and grading of Asherman’s syndrome on hysterosalpingography(HSG). Asherman’s syndrome (AS)which is termed as uterine synechiae, and intrauterine adhesions (IUA),result in trauma to the basal layer of the endometrium with subsequent scarring. This may be from previous pregnancy, dilation and curettage, surgery, or infection such as genital tuberculosis....

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) has been targeted as an eco-friendly alternative technology to conventional chromic acid anodizing (CAA) for corrosion protection of aluminium alloys in the aircraft industry. However, PEO implies high energy consumption. Flash-PEO coatings (≤10 μm) produced short treatment times (≤ 5 min) constitute a feasible way overcome this limitation. Nevertheless, long...
