primary choriocarcinoma of the uterine cervix is an extremely rare disease. the clinical diagnosis of cervical choriocarcinoma is difficult, because of its rarity and being non-specific abnormal vaginal bleeding the most common symptom. in the present report,the authors present a case of cervical choriocarcinoma, which was initially misdiagnosed as a cesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy. rem...

Labor is a physiological event involving a sequential, integrated set of changes within the myometrium, deciduas, and uterine cervix that occur gradually over a period of days to weeks. Biochemical connective tissue changes in the uterine cervix appear to precede uterine contractions and cervical dilation, and all of these events usually occur before rupture of the fetal membranes. In other wor...

Uterine cancer is the most common cancer of the female genital tract and is the fourth most frequent cause of cancer death in women in the U.S. Despite the high prevalence of uterine cancers, the molecular events that lead to neoplastic transformation in the uterus are poorly understood. Moreover, there are limited mouse models to study these malignancies. We generated transgenic mice with high...

OBJECTIVE To study the activity of the human uterine cervix at the onset of labour and further characterise cervical asynchronous electromyographic (EMG) activity in the latent phase. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Clinical hospital in Ljubljana. PARTICIPANTS Forty-seven healthy nulliparous women with relatively unripe cervices requiring induction of labo...

Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCTs) are a rare group of stromal neoplasms containing prominent sex cord-like elements. Since they were first described in 1945 by Morehead and Bowman [1], no more than 100 such tumors have been reported [2]. In a report by Clement and Scully [3], these neoplasms were divided into 2 groups on the basis of clinical and histologic patterns. ...

Chloroethane, bromoethane and ethylene oxide represent a unique set of chemicals that induce endometrial neoplasms in the uterus of B6C3F1 mice following an inhalation route of exposure. The results of the NTP's chronic bioassays with these three compounds resulted in an unusually high incidence of uterine epithelial neoplasms in B6C3F1 mice (chloroethane 86%, bromoethane 56%) and a lower incid...

OBJECTIVE In Mexico, cervical uterine cancer (CUC) is one of the leading causes of death among women, however a low degree of participation in the early detection programs has been found. This study is aimed at describing the social determinants of knowledge related to cervical uterine cancer and proper testing being conducted by establishing the social differences with regard thereto among a p...
