INTRODUCTION Tuboperitoneal pathology is responsible for 40-50% cases of infertility. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) & laparoscopy are the two classic methods available for evaluation of tubal pathology and are complementary to each other. Though pelvic sonography and HSG are good enough to exclude gross intrauterine pathology, but subtle changes in the form of small polyps, adhesions and seedling...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of hysterosalpingography (HSG) in patients who underwent concomitant radiofrequency endometrial ablation and hysteroscopic sterilization. METHODS This historical cohort study was conducted at a midwestern academic medical center. A total of 186 women (94 with combined procedure and 92 with sterilization alone) were identified as having undergone intervention...

BACKGROUND The objective of the present study was to compare the likelihood of abnormal Chlamydia trachomatis antibody test results with that of abnormal hysterosalpingography (HSG) test results in patients with tubal factor infertility. METHODS Anti-C. trachomatis immunoglobulin G antibodies were determined prospectively in 295 infertility patients by means of an indirect fluorescent antibod...

Forty crossbred boars were equally divided into eight groups at birth. Four groups were immunized (200 micrograms/boar) at 12 wk of age against either luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) conjugated to human serum globulin (LHRH-hSG) in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), LHRH-hSG in muramyldipeptide adjuvant (PEP), procine luteinizing hormone (LH) conjugated to hSG (pLH-hSG) in CFA or ov...

OBJECTIVES Presently, hysterosalpingography (HSG) is used as a means to evaluate women with infertility and repetitive pregnancy loss. Venous intravasation is a complication and potential pitfall during HSG and analogous procedures including hysteroscopy. The aim of our study was to assess the venous intravasation and to obtain critical information for more secure and more accurate procedures. ...

BACKGROUND Health systems guidance (HSG) are systematically developed statements that assist with decisions about options for addressing health systems challenges, including related changes in health systems arrangements. However, the development, appraisal, and reporting of HSG poses unique conceptual and methodological challenges related to the varied types of evidence that are relevant, the ...

The state of the art of the infertility workup, strange as it may appear, has never been accurately defined. A recent survey, that was designed to determine how reproductive endocrinologists practice on a daily basis, demonstrated that the five basic tests that were regarded as the cornerstone of the infertility evaluation were: semen analysis, assessment of ovulation, hysterosalpingogram (HSG)...

BACKGROUND Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is considered as a primary test in infertility work up worldwide due to its reliability in evaluating abnormalities related to the uterus and fallopian tubes. OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy of applying eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (lidocaine-prilocaine cream) (EMLA) on the uterine cervix in reducing pain during HSG. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eig...

Hyperplasia suppressor gene (HSG) is a novel gene that markedly suppresses the mitogenetic stimuli or injury mediated by vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. Herein we provide experimental evidence to show that HSG can also play a key role in tumor proliferation. Down-regulation of HSG protein in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues compared to adjacent tissues. Overexpression of HSG suppress...
