BACKGROUND Traditionally, septate uterus was diagnosed with invasive method like hysterosalpingography and hysteroscopy. Nowadays transvaginal ultrasonography was reported to be a sensitive tool for detection of septate uterus too. OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to evaluate the application of two dimensional ultrasound (2-DUS) and real time three dimensional ultrasound (3-DU...

Background: Cassia italica or Senna is a wild plant distributed in south of Iran. It increased water consumption and has a laxative effect. In traditional medicine this plant has been used for the dysmenorrheal. Objective: In this study we investigated the effect of aqueous extract of Cassia italica on uterus contraction. Materials and Methods: Virgin Wistar rats 200-300g were purchased. After ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the potential dose reduction in the uterus as a result of lead apron protection during thoracic CT scans. Moreover, the distribution of the radiation dose in the uterus was determined in order to obtain information about the ratio of internally and externally scattered radiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The uterus doses during thoracic CT were de...

Bicornuate Uterus is a type of lateral fusion disorder of the mullerian ducts. According to the American Fertility Society Classification of Mullerian Anomalies, bicornuate uterus is a class IV anomaly. Incidence of this anomaly varies. This may affect a woman's obstetric, as well as her gynecologic outcome. Here we present a 23 year primigravida at 38 weeks and 5 days gestation with footling b...

Dracocephalum kotschyi Boiss. is a traditional medicine with antispasmodic activities. The objective of this research was to study antispasmodic activities of hydroalcoholic extract of D. kotschyi on rat isolated uterus contractions for comparison with isolated ileum. Hydroalcoholic extract was obtained from aerial part of D. kotschyi using percolation method. A portion of rat ileum or uterus w...

BACKGROUND In order to study the novel genes related to rat embryonic implantation, a novel implantation-associated gene, Iag-1, was identified and characterized from rat uterus of early pregnancy. Iag-1 was initially derived from suppressive subtracted hybridization of a cDNA library of rat uterus, which was used to analyse differentially expressed genes between the preimplantation and implant...

Adrenergic nerve fibres of the mammalian uterus degenerate during pregnancy. The behaviour of peptidergic fibres, such as substance P-positive fibres and of its preferred neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-R), is poorly studied in the pregnant rat uterus. The present study analysed the changes in substance P immunoreactivity and in the expression of NK1-R protein in the uterus of non-pregnant, pregnant...

Uterine malformations consist of a group of miscellaneous congenital anomalies of the female genital system. Their mean prevalence in the general population and in the population of fertile women is approximately 4.3%, in infertile patients approximately 3.5% and in patients with recurrent pregnancy losses approximately 13%. Septate uterus is the commonest uterine anomaly with a mean incidence ...

Rupture of the pregnant uterus, similar to rupture of any internal organ, can be life threatening for the mother and fetus [1]. Uterine rupture is a tear in the wall of the uterus which commonly occurs in the lower segment of the uterus. The tear could be anterior, posterior, lateral or combination of these. It could be transverse, vertical or combination of these. In most cases, it occurs in t...
