BACKGROUND The risk of cross-infection from shared ultrasound probes in endorectal and vaginal ultrasonography due to low-level disinfection (LLD) is difficult to estimate because potential infections are also sexually transmitted diseases, and route of contamination is often difficult to establish. In France, the widely used standard for prevention of infections is through the use of probe cov...

A four-year-old Anatolian Shepherd bitch was brought to our clinic with an intermittent purulent-hemorrhagic vaginal discharge complaint no general symptoms for six months following the last parturition. There were signs of mass or lesion on wall during physical examination. Anechogenic uterine content, hyperechoic structures freely floating in lumen, and suspicious fetal tissue remnants detect...

OBJECTIVE Obstetric anal sphincter injuries are one of the most significant complications of vaginal delivery that give way to fecal incontinence, which is defined as the involuntary leakage of gas, fluid or solid stool. Although sphincter injuries are seen in 0.5-9% of all deliveries. It has been reported that 20-41% of women who had vaginal deliveries had occult anal sphincter injuries as end...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical application of uterine artery blood flow parameters by vaginal color Doppler ultrasonography in patients with repeated embryo implantation failure and to examine the correlation between uterine artery blood flow parameters and microvessel density (MVD). We monitored the outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in eighty pat...

Adenocarcinoma Urethral diverticulum Vaginal cancer Abstract We report an extremely rare case of a 50-year-old woman with an adenocarcinoma arising within a urethral diverticulum. She could not be diagnosed correctly before operation and the microscopic pathological examination of the surgical specimen was the only indication showing the cancer origin. Yasuhiko Nakamura, MD, Department of Obste...

Abstract Shifts in commensal bacteria (i.e., Firmicutes) the human microbiome are associated with compromised fertility. The objectives of this study were to characterize 1) reproductive and 2) cytokine concentrations prior artificial insemination (AI) vaginal uterine flushes from postpartum beef cows. Twenty Bos indicus-influenced cows (~60 days free health issues) weighed, body condition scor...

BACKGROUND Premature birth is considered one of the main problems in modern Obstetrics. It causes more than 50 % of neonatal mortality; it is responsible for a large proportion of infant morbidity and incurs very high economic costs. Cervical length, which can be accurately measured by ultrasound, has an inverse relationship with the risk of preterm birth. As a result, having an effective inter...

Choriocarcinoma and placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) are rare varieties of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). PSTT alone constitutes about 1-2% of all trophoblastic tumors, which presents at early reproductive age and the serum beta-hCG level is much lower than choriocarcinoma. This tumor usually invades the myometrium and its depth of penetration is a prognostic factor. The firs...
