Uterine fluid proteins for minimally invasive assessment of endometrial receptivity

Secretomics of Endometrial Fluid for Non-invasive Assessment of Endometrial Receptivity

Endometrial markers of uterine receptivity utilizing the donor oocyte model.

BACKGROUND Ethical constraints limit the ability to study peri-implantation phase human endometrium. In this study, the donor oocyte model was used to study candidate endometrial markers of uterine receptivity. METHODS Archived, paraffin-embedded tissue obtained by endometrial biopsy during cycle days 21-23 of patients undergoing 'mock' hormonal treatment cycles were evaluated by standard his...

Minimally Invasive Treatment Options for Uterine Fibroids

518 JCOM September 2006 Vol. 13, No. 9 www.turner-white.com Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors of the female reproductive tract. These benign tumors occur in approximately 20% to 25% of women of childbearing age, with increased prevalence rates of over 50% among African-American women [1]. Fibroids may vary in size, from microscopic to larger than a basketball, with many women having m...

Submucous uterine adenosarcoma—minimally invasive treatment

BACKGROUND Uterine adenosarcomas are rare malignant gynaecological tumours. Due to its submucous localization, they can be easily confound with benign tumours like endometrial polyps or submucous myomas. However, the treatment of uterine adenosarcomas requires an oncologic surgical approach. CASE PRESENTATION In the following case report, we present the minimally invasive treatment of a uteri...
