34 35 The present study was conducted to determine the impact of suppressing trophoblast 36 remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries by prematurely elevating estrogen levels in the first 37 trimester of baboon pregnancy on uterine and umbilical blood flow dynamics. Uteroplacental 38 blood flow was assessed by Doppler ultrasonography after acute administration of saline (basal 39 state) and ser...

The most common way of detecting pregnancy in rabbits is by manual palpation. Real-time ultrasonography may be an alternative to be used in rabbit production units in the future if it turns out to be practicable. There is a paucity of scientific knowledge on the suitability of real-time ultrasonography for pregnancy diagnosis in rabbits. In the present study pregnancy diagnosis by transabdomina...

Background: Mullerian duct malformations delineate a group of congenital anomalies that result from arrested development, or incomplete fusion of the mesonephric ducts. In many patients, uterine anomalies have been related with infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, prematurity and other obstetric complications which increase perinatal morbidity and mortality rates, where as in others these mal...

INTRODUCTION Leiomyoma of the bladder is a rare tumor arising from the submucosa. Most patients with bladder leiomyoma may present with urinary frequency or obstructive urinary symptoms. However, there are a few cases of bladder leiomyoma coexisting with uterine leiomyoma presenting as dyspareunia. We herein report an unusual case of coexisting bladder leiomyoma and uterine leiomyoma presenting...

The present study was conducted to determine the impact of suppressing trophoblast remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries by prematurely elevating estrogen levels in the first trimester of baboon pregnancy on uterine and umbilical blood flow dynamics. Uteroplacental blood flow was assessed by Doppler ultrasonography after acute administration of saline (basal state) and serotonin on days 60,...

The mare had delivered a healthy filly 45 days previously with no apparent difficulty. Ultrasonographic examination of the mare’s uterus at h...

Uterine artery blood flow (UABF) is critical to maintaining uterine perfusion in nonpregnant states and for uteroplacental delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the fetus during pregnancy. Impaired UABF is implicated in infertility and several pregnancy complications including fetal growth restriction, small for gestational age, and preeclampsia. The etiology of abnormal UABF is not known. Here, ...

To verify the reliability of transvaginal ultrasonography in diagnosing intrauterine disease and in evaluating the operability of submucous myomas and to determine the feasibility, acceptability and validity of hysteroscopy for menorrhagia, we performed a prospective 5 year study on 793 women of mean age +/- SD of 41.5 +/- 7.8 years. All the patients referred for excessive menstrual bleeding wi...
