Non-gonococcal inflammations of the female genitalia are of very common occurrence and many of them correspond to forms of non-gonococcal urethritis in the male. Some authors, including Ilyin (1966), have found various inflammatory processes of the lower urogenital tract in the majority of women who had had sexual contact with men suffering from non-gonococcal urethritis; such women may have va...

Treatment and resolution of mare urogenital infection involves consideration of the systemic health of the mare, correction of urogenital anatomic defects, and enhancement of uterine clearance in non-pregnant mares, ident...

We describe the cloning, expression pattern, and genomic organization of Lbx2, a murine homologue of the Drosophila and mammalian ladybird genes. Lbx2 includes a homeodomain motif most closely related to those of Lbx1 and the Drosophila ladybird proteins. Lbx2 transcripts are first detected at E10.5 when they are located in the gonadal component of the urogenital ridge. Expression of Lbx2 drama...

To understand better the factors that contribute to diagnostic errors in urogenital pathology units, as part of our ongoing research into urogenital cancers, from a consecutive series of 6304 histologic reports for the years 2003 to 2006 we selected for review those containing more than one evident error. We reviewed 1746 urogenital histopathologic diagnoses, 1459 (83.56%) referred to biopsies ...
