Clinical studies have reported associations between ovarian stromal hyperplasia and the diagnosis of hormonally related tumors such as endometrial cancer. To assess the hypothesis that characteristics of benign ovaries among postmenopausal women are related to risk for breast, endometrial, and colon cancer, we analyzed systematically collected transvaginal ultrasound data for participants enrol...

OBJECTIVE To calculate inter- and intraobserver reliabilities for three-dimensional endometrial volume measurements during in vitro fertilization using virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL). PATIENTS AND METHODS Three-dimensional ultrasound measurements of the endometrium using VOCAL software were performed on the day of oocyte retrieval in each of 79 consecutive patients undergoing i...

OBJECTIVES This report seeks to introduce some cases of the patients who received magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) surgery (MRgFUS)-based intramural uterine fibroids treatment where the post-MRgFUS intramural uterine fibroids decreased in its volume and protruded towards the endometrial cavity to be expelled by hysteroscopy. METHODS Of the 157 p...

BACKGROUND A good blood supply towards the endometrium is usually considered to be an essential requirement for implantation. We aimed to evaluate the role of endometrial and subendometrial blood flows in the prediction of pregnancy during IVF treatment. METHODS Patients undergoing the first IVF cycle were recruited. A three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound examination with power Doppler was perfo...

The aim is to compare hysteroscopy, two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (2D TVUS), and three-dimensional (3D) Virtual Organ Computer-aided AnaLysis™ (VOCAL) to detect endometrial polyps (EPs) in premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). This prospective study was done at Ain Shams Maternity Hospital, Egypt, from March 5, 2015, to December 30, 2015, enrolling 118 premenopausa...

BACKGROUND The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) recommend lymph node sampling (LNS) as a key component in the surgical staging of high-grade endometrial cancer. Our goal was to examine surgical staging patterns for high-grade endometrial cancer in the United States. METHODS The National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) was searched for patients...

BACKGROUND This study compares results of endometrial ablation alone and in combination with myoma coagulation. Subsequent surgery rates were 38% for ablation alone and 12% for combined therapy. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare hysterectomy rates following various surgical procedures to treat profuse uterine bleeding as well as myomatous uteri. STUDY DESIGN This is a descr...

To examine the role of three-dimensional (3D) volume estimation in predicting pituitary down-regulation in an IVF-embryo transfer programme, 46 women were treated with buserelin acetate for down-regulation prior to and concomitantly with ovarian stimulation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used for statistics. The area under the curve (AUC) provides a measure to show ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupuncture point stimulation (TEAS) on endometrial HOXA10 protein expression and three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler ultrasound parameters as markers of endometrial receptivity in women undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). METHODS A total of 68 women undergoing FET were randomised to receive TEAS or mock TEAS at acupun...
