Background: Left ventricular torsion is one of the most important biomechanical parameters of heart that routinely is measured in short axis view.  A review of the literature has indicated that assessment of left ventricular torsion in short axis view has some limitations. In the present study, we evaluated whether torsion angle assessment in long axis view can be used as a diagnostic biomechan...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of the presence of endometrial fluid (seen through ultrasound) on the outcome of IVF cycles and its association with the aetiology of infertility, in tubal and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) cases specifically.

BACKGROUND The possibility of conception following selective salpingography and tubal catheterization is believed to decline sharply a few months after the procedure. This observation may be due to the relatively small number of patients and short follow-up of previous studies. Furthermore, couples with other causes of infertility apart from proximal tubal blockage have usually been excluded. ...

Purpose To determine whether menstrual cycle phase or hormonal treatments affect observation of tubal patency during HSG. Material and Methods Ten participants underwent repeated HSG examinations: during the follicular and luteal phase of a ...

Background. Surgery is sometimes required for the management of tubal ectopic pregnancies. Historically, surgeons used electrosurgery to obtain hemostasis. Topical hemostatic sealants, such as FloSeal, may decrease the reliance on electrosurgery and reduce thermal injury to the tissue. Case. A 33-year-old G1 P0 received methotrexate for a right tubal pregnancy. The patient became symptomatic si...

Background Although pelvic inflammatory disease can be seen after tubal occlusion, tuboovarian abscess is rare, with only 38 cases reported since 1975 [1]. The differential diagnosis of tuboovarian abscess after tubal occlusion should include non-infectious and non-gynecologic etiology, particularly as women age [2]. Case A 40 year old multiparous woman with a distant history of tubal occlusi...
