Accumulation of oviductal fluid in the ampullar lumen as a result of occlusion of the infundibulum is referred to as hydrosalpinx. A low pregnancy rate (10%) after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in hydrosalpinx patients and a relatively high incidence (50%) of abortions during the first trimester suggested that leakage of this fluid into the uterine cavity may exert a cytotoxic effect on the deve...

STUDY QUESTION Does uterine peristalsis influence the chance of clinical pregnancy in an embryo transfer cycle? SUMMARY ANSWER The uterine peristaltic wave frequency before embryo transfer is inversely related to the clinical pregnancy rates in fresh and frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Uterine peristalsis participates in regulating fluid migration after mock embr...

Maternal infection is a cause of adverse developmental outcomes. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced embryonic resorption, intra-uterine fetal death (IUFD) and preterm labor have been well characterized. In the present study, we investigated the effects of maternal LPS exposure on intra-uterine fetal growth and skeletal development. All pregnant mice except controls received an intraperitoneal inj...

fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the uterus during female reproductive age. uterine artery embolization (uae) using embolic particles (pva, gelfoam) to occlude the uterine arteries, have been reported as a relatively safe, effective, and durable nonsurgical alternative to hysterectomy in diminishing fibroid-related symptoms. to block the arterial blood supply to the fibroid complet...

ndometrial vasculature has been shown to play an important role in the early endometrial response to the implanting blastocyst, and vascular changes may contribute to uterine receptivity . the aim of this study was to investigate the role of endometrial and subendometrial vascularity and thickness in uterine receptivity in infertile women treated with assisted reproductive technologies (art). a...

During pregnancy parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is one of many growth factors that play important roles to promote fetal growth and development including stimulating placental calcium transport. Angiotensin II, acting through the AT1a, receptor is also known to promote placental growth. We examined the effects of bilateral uterine artery and vein ligation (Restricted), which mimics...

Secretion of proteins by the endometrium of pigs during pregnancy is reported to be influenced by progesterone and estrogen. The effect of estrone treatment from d 30 to 45 of pregnancy on endometrial protein secretion and uterine capacity was tested in unilaterally hysterectomized-ovariectomized (UHO) gilts. Ten intact and 16 UHO crossbred gilts were mated and assigned to the following treatme...

Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the most common obstetric emergencies and largest contributor to maternal mortality in world, with uterine atony being cause. A 38-year-old woman came Karitas Hospital complaining vaginal bleeding after giving birth three hours ago. On examination, patient was somnolent signs shock. Anemic conjunctiva, pale lips, weak contractions uterus, active bleeding. The lab...

Background: Uterine inversion is a rare obstetric emergency but potentially life-threatening condition. If these are not immediately diagnosed, the massive and underestimated blood loss can lead to hypovolemic shock. Case: Case of 24 years old woman was referred from district Public Health Center with vaginal bleeding after delivery abdominal pain. We found fundal height postpartum 3 fingers ab...
