UNLABELLED The aim, of this prospective study was to estimate whether the presence of endometrial fluid detected by transvaginal ultrasound investigation was a marker for the pathological changes of the endometrium in postmenopausal women. MATERIAL AND METHODS 128 postmenopausal women with uterine bleeding and 29 asymptomatic postmenopausal women underwent transvaginal ultrasound investigatio...

A 29-year-old nulliparous patient at week 38, with a history of laparoscopic resection of the left fallopian tube performed 13 months before due to ectopic pregnancy was admitted to the Clinic on 5 August 2014 with initiating uterine contractions. According to the laparoscopy protocol the left fallopian tube was removed. The fallopian tube was excised from its uterine section with the use of el...

Background: Nonpuerperal uterine inversion is a rare medical condition that many gynecologists might not be encountered even with one case during their entire medical practice. It refers to the expulsion of uterine corpus from the dilated cervix resulting in uterus being turned inside out. There are two kinds of uterine inversion, puerperal and non-puerperal, which the second condition is less ...

An intrauterine device (IUD) is a safe, effective, simple, and reversible method for birth control, but some women with IUD may still become pregnant. Induced abortion is the main method for termination of pregnancy. If induced abortion is not well‑managed in these patients, it may result in serious vaginal bleeding and uterine rupture. We report a case of uterine artery rupture after induced a...

The incidence of postbreeding fluid accumulation is approximately 15% in a normal population of Thoroughbreds. Both the incidence and severity of intraluminal fluid accumulation increase with age. In addition, barren mares are more likely than maiden and foaling mares to accumulate fluid in the uterine lumen the day after breeding. Postbreeding fluid accumulation treated with uterine lavage or ...

UNLABELLED Precise uterine fluid pH regulation may involve the Na(+)/H(+)-exchanger (NHE). We hypothesized that NHE isoforms are differentially expressed under different sex steroid treatment and at different oestrous cycle phases which may explain the uterine fluid pH changes observed under these conditions. METHOD Oestrous cycle phases of intact WKY rats were identified by vaginal smear. An...

Pro-inflammatory cytokines play an important role during the process of human parturition. The focus of this review was to explore the contribution of biological, biochemical, and genetic changes in the onset of term labor. This article reviews the English-language literature on inflammatory, hormonal, and immunological factors in an effort to identify the molecular basis of human parturition. ...

Pregnancy rates after frozen semen inseminations (AI), particularly in older and problem mares, are lower than after fresh semen AI. Uterine contractility and the inflammatory reaction after frozen semen insemination were studied in two groups of mares: the abnormal group comprised of 6 old barren mares categorized in biopsy category IIB or III, and the control group including 6 reproductively ...

Four estrous beagles were inseminated with 1 x 10(8) sperm into both the right and left uterine horns, and the uterine horn and oviduct on one side were removed under anesthesia after 7 hr and 24 hr, respectively. The lumen of the uterine horns and oviducts was flushed with canine capacitation medium (CCM), and movement of the sperm in CCM was assessed by phase-contrast microscopy. In a second ...
