In the female, Müllerian ducts will develop to form the uterine tubes, uterus, cervix, and the upper one-third of the vagina; in the male, they are lost. This abnormal development can lead to uterine malformations resulting from aplasia of a part of Müllerian duct. Morphological abnormalities can vary from insufficient fission of tissues causing bicornuate uterus, double uterus or preserved ute...

It is highly prevalent in developing countries, where the vast major...

Transformed cells differ from normal cells in their pattern of heat shock protein expression. Here, we report differential expression of a Mr 70,000 heat shock protein (HSP7O) in squamous cell carcinomas of the uterine cervix compared to normal or premabignant uterine cervix. Expression of HSP7O was measured using a mouse mAb against HSP7O by an ELISA. A significant increase in the bevel of exp...

Blue nevi are uncommon, asymptomatic lesions of the uterine cervix. These lesions are not often detected clinically or on colposcopy. Careful histopathological examination is required. The nevus cells are said to originate from the immature melanoblasts of the neural crest. These lesions need to be differentiated from malignant melanoma and melanosis of the cervix. We present here a case report...

Carcinoma of the uterine cervix represents the second most frequent female malignancy worldwide, but few biochemical tumour markers have been implemented into clinical practice. Elevated extracellular guanosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) levels have been reported to be a sensitive, early and reliable marker for screening relapse in carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The mechanism behind t...

PURPOSE to compare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonographic measurement of the uterine cervix with Bishop's score for the prediction of vaginal delivery after labor induction, with 25 mcg of misoprostol. METHODS a prospective study for the validation of a diagnostic test was conducted on 126 pregnant women with indication for labor induction. The patients were evaluated by Bishop's score...
