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...

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...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to analyze changes of coping strategies in severely injured accident victims over time and to compare patients with high and low posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom levels with regard to their coping patterns and accident-related cognitions. METHODS 106 consecutive patients with severe accidental injuries admitted to a trauma surgery intensive car...

BACKGROUND Tubal factor infertility is one of the main causes of female infertility. Although its sensitivity is low, hysterosalpingography (HSG) is remains the first-line method for evaluating tubal patency. AIMS To compare pregnancy rates in patients with HSG proven proximal or distal unilateral tubal occlusion, and unexplained infertility undergoing both controlled ovarian stimulation (COS...

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...

background:   objective: to evaluate the effect of unilateral tubal blockage diagnosed by hsg on cumulative pregnancy rate (cpr) of the stimulated iui cycles.   materials and methods: a cross-sectional analysis was performed between october 2006 and october 2009 in an academic reproductive endocrinology and infertility center. two groups of patients undergoing stimulated iui cycles were compare...

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)...

INTRODUCTION Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is still a commonly used investigation in the evaluation of the female genital tract and the main indication for HSG is infertility. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to find the pathology detected at HSG in patients with infertility in our setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of 289 consecutive patients who underwent hysterosa...
