BACKGROUND Hydatidiform mole is an important obstetric problem which can result in harmful and serious outcomes. In this study, an attempt was made to determine the proportion of hydatidiform mole in prenatal clinics of Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS) to find the precise frequency of this disease. METHODS Between January 2012 and January 2013, all women who immediately after positi...

Mole is one of the first Java-based mobile agent systems. It runs on an unmodified Java virtual machine on PCs under Windows 95/NT and on workstations under several UNIX dialects. Earlier versions of Mole have provided a basic infrastructure for communication and migration of mobile agents. Version 3.0 of Mole has been strongly revised and several requests and proposals from users of the earlie...

AIMS To assess the degree of difficulty in diagnosing partial mole by analysing intraobserver and interobserver agreement among a group of pathologists for these diagnoses. METHODS Fifty mixed cases of partial mole, complete mole, and non-molar pregnancy were submitted to seven histopathologists, two of whom are expert gynaecological pathologists; the other five were district general hospital...

The heats of reaction of trypsin with soybean (Kunitz), ovomucoid, and lima bean inhibitors have been measured at pH 5.0 and 10’ and 25”. All the reactions were endothermic, with AH ranging from 8.6 Cal per mole for the lima bean inhibitor to 15.3 Cal per mole for the soybean inhibitor. Equilibrium constants for the association were calculated from the dependence of residual tryptic activity up...

Twin pregnancy consisting of complete molar pregnancy and a coexisting fetus occurs with an estimated incidence of 1 per 22,000–100,000 pregnancies, and may be increasing due to the greater use of assisted reproductive techniques [1]. These pregnancies are associated with significant maternal and fetal complications including preeclampsia, thromboembolic disease, hyperemesis, hemorrhage, intrau...

a twin pregnancy with a coexisting complete hydatidiform mole and a healthy fetus (cmcf) is rare. here we report three cases of cmcf with different clinical courses but similar outcome without a surviving neonate. two women required uterine evacuation before 20 weeks of gestational age because of vaginal bleeding and medical complications and the other patient underwent termination of her pregn...

a case report of the relatively rare condition of a primary hydatidiform mole in the fallopian tube is presented. key words; hydatidiform mole fallopian tube.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is considered to be one of the factors which regulate relaxin secretion in humans. Serum immunoreactive relaxin levels are increased and are detectable by radioimmunoassay both in normal and molar pregnancy. Circulating hCG levels are increased in trophoblastic disease. In the present study, relaxin and hCG levels were sequentially measured in patients with in...
