BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to propose a new method for imaging the uterine cavity and Fallopian tube patency by three-dimensional dynamic magnetic resonance hysterosalpingography (3D dMR-HSG) and to analyse if, by using a higher viscosity contrast solution, direct visualization of the Fallopian tubes may be achieved by this new technique. METHODS 10 consecutive infertile women u...

Objective: To assess the value of 3D ultrasound in the management of patients with suspected Asherman’s syndrome. Study Design: A case series of 54 infertile patients who presented to a tertiary care center, between 1998-2004, with suspected Asherman’s syndrome and underwent both HSG and 3D ultrasound prior to hysteroscopy. Sensitivity and the ability to attain fertility post-operatively were c...

INTRODUCTION The objectives were to assess the diagnostic value of hysterosalpingography (HSG) with laparoscopy as gold standard in the evaluation of tubal patency and pelvic adhesions in women suffering from infertility. METHODS We conducted a comparative cross sectional study on 208 medical files of infertile women followed up at the Yaoundé General Hospital during a period of five years (D...

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of hysterosalpingography (HSG) in diagnosing tubal patency and peritubal adhesions using laparoscopy with chromopertubation as the gold standard. DESIGN Meta-analysis of 20 studies comparing HSG and laparoscopy for tubal patency and peritubal adhesions. PATIENTS Four thousand one hundred seventy-nine patients with infertility in 20 studies. INTERVENTION Hyste...

It has been reported that cimetidine, a histamine type-2 receptor (H2R) antagonist, inhibits the growth of glandular tumors such as colorectal cancer. However, its effects against salivary gland tumors are still unknown. We demonstrated previously that human salivary gland tumor (HSG) cells spontaneously express the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and also that HSG cell proliferation could...

Modern insulin regimens for the treatment of type 1 diabetes are highly individualized. The concept of an individually tailored medicine accounts for a broad variety of different insulin regimens applied. Despite clear recommendations for insulin management in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes there is little distinctiveness about concepts and the nomenclature is confusing. Even amo...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to examine the role of hysterosalpingocontrast sonography (HyCoSy) as a screening test for endometrial and tubal pathology at the start of the infertility investigation protocol. METHODS HyCoSy was compared with X-ray hysterosalpingography (HSG) for the assessment of the endometrial cavity and Fallopian tube patency. A total of 103 women with a hist...

INTRODUCTION A health systems approach to understanding efforts for improving health care services is gaining traction globally. A component of this approach focuses on health system governance (HSG), which can make or mar the successful implementation of health care interventions. Very few studies have explored HSG in low- and middle-income countries, including Nigeria. Studies focusing on men...
