background: in 1970, human papillomavirus (hpv) was introduced as the main etiologic factor of cervical carcinoma. since there is no possibility of detecting the virus and its subtypes using serological methods and cell culture, the molecular methods such as pcr have particular importance in accurate, early and definite diagnosis of the virus. so, in this research, our goal is to use a propriet...

abstract background and aims: the human papilloma virus was introduced as the major etiological agent in outbreak of cervical cancer in 1970. since it is very difficult to recognize these viruses and their types using the serological tests and cell culture, molecular methods such as pcr are of great importance. therefore, in this study, our goal was to use a multiple specific pcr assay on l1 an...

SETTING Labour ward at Kalafong Hospital in Atteridgeville, Pretoria, that serves an indigent South African urban population. METHODS Data were collected prospectively on all women undergoing induction of labour with oral misoprostol from 1 March 2004 to 28 February 2005. Patients with contraindicat...

although the diagnostic category of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ascus) has been known since 1988, its use and appropriate clinical follow up and management still remains controversial. this study was carried out to evaluate the diagnostic value of ascus, using cytohistologic correlation. a retrospective review of archival materials in our cytology laboratory files was ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the factors associated with failed induction of labour (IOL) in a secondary care hospital. METHOD This is a retrospective cross sectional study on women admitted for labour induction in Aga Khan Hospital for women Karimabad from 1st Jan, 2009 to 31st Dec, 2009. Induction was considered successful if the patient delivered vaginally and failed if it ended up in Caesarean Sec...

PURPOSE to compare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonographic measurement of the uterine cervix with Bishop's score for the prediction of vaginal delivery after labor induction, with 25 mcg of misoprostol. METHODS a prospective study for the validation of a diagnostic test was conducted on 126 pregnant women with indication for labor induction. The patients were evaluated by Bishop's score...

in this paper, biharmonic slant helices are studied according to bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis3. we give necessary and sufficient conditions for slant helices to be biharmonic. the biharmonic slant helices arecharacterized in terms of bishop frame in the heisenberg group heis3. we give some characterizations for tangent bishop spherical images of b-slant helix. additionally, we illu...

Objective. Development of an effective method for preparing the cervix in pregnant women with a tendency to overmaturity against background lack biological readiness childbirth, as well reducing time soft birth canal childbirth order conduct subsequent labor excitation.
 Material and methods. The patients were divided into 3 groups depending on childbirth: 1st group (n = 50) only laminaria...

Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety of 25 mcg intravaginal misoprostol vs 50 mcg misoprostol for induction of labor. Material and methods: This study group consisted of 100 cases of low-risk singleton pregnancies attending the antenatal clinic of SAH and RC, or admitted to the antenatal ward. Study group included singleton pregnancy, Over 37 weeks of gestation with Vertex presentatio...
