BACKGROUND Ovarian pregnancy is a rare form of the non-tubal ectopic pregnancy. It ends with rupture before the end of the first trimester. One of the important risk factors for ovarian pregnancy is in the use of Intra uterine devices (IUD). CASE We report here one such uncommon case of ovarian ectopic pregnancy. Our patient is a 30 years old multiparous woman with two previous cesarean secti...

The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is approximately 1.3-2% of all pregnancies, and more than 90% of ectopic pregnancies are detected in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. Ectopic pregnancy occurring in tubal stump after tubectomy is extremely rare, and the frequency of tubal stump pregnancy is approximately 0.4% of all pregnancies. We report one of these rare cases of ectopic pregnancy in a 26-...

Human ectopic pregnancy (EP) remains a common cause of pregnancy-related first trimester death. Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized from L-arginine by three NO synthases (NOS) in different tissues, including the Fallopian tube. Studies of knockout mouse models have improved our understanding of the function of NOS isoforms in reproduction, but their roles and specific mechanisms in infection-induc...

background: measurement of serum β-hcg concentration commonly used to diagnose tubal ectopic pregnancy (ep) and follow up patients treated conservatively.objective: the aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of maternal serum β-hcg concentration in ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy to help physicians identify those women who are at greatest risk.materials and methods: this is a ...

BACKGROUND In its 1993 report the Canadian Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies challenged the effectiveness of in vitro fertilization for severe male infertility. To address the Commission's concern, the authors compared the relative effectiveness of in vitro fertilization combined with intracytoplasmic sperm injection for severe male infertility and conventional in vitro fertiliz...

Pelvic serous carcinoma is usually advanced stage at diagnosis, indicating that abdominal spread occurs early in carcinogenesis. Recent discovery of a precursor sequence in the fallopian tube, culminating in serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), provides an opportunity to study early disease events. This study aims to explore novel metastatic routes in STICs. A BRCA1 mutation carrier (...

The main female anatomical causes of infertility include post-infectious tubal damage, endometriosis, and congenital/acquired uterine anomalies. Congenital (septate uterus) and acquired (myomas and synechiae) diseases of the uterus may lead to infertility, pregnancy loss, and other obstetric complications. Pelvic inflammatory disease represents the most common cause of tubal damage. Surgery sti...
