OBJECTIVES To investigate whether, in women with abnormal uterine artery Doppler, platelet volume and function will identify a subgroup of women at increased risk of pre-eclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction and whether in-vitro platelet aggregation precedes the onset of clinical disease. DESIGN Platelet number, volume and aggregation induced by collagen or adenosine 5'-diphosphate we...

Pregnant rats were ovariectomized on day 14 of pregnancy (sperm = day 1) and daily injected with 4 mg progesterone. The intrauterine pressure and volume of the conceptus with placenta of these rats and intact normal pregnant rats were measured every morning between day 14 and 20 of pregnancy. The average volume of the conceptus in both groups increased at an almost constant rate until day 18 of...

We report the first case of a heterotopic pregnancy (HP) following ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination (IUI) with resultant normal intrauterine pregnancy after salpingectomy. A 41-year-old para 0 +0 that presented with primary infertility due to azoospermia and polycystic ovaries after laparoscopic evaluation.
