Assisted reproduction technique (ART) is a known risk factor for ectopic pregnancy (EP). Ovarian (OEP) rare but well-known variant of EP, which carries diagnostic challenges & mostly diagnosed intraoperatively. Fibroid common medical problem, it not yet recognised OEP. Risk factors as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis or fibroids can alter fallopian tube patency results in EP. In t...

Background Hysteroscopy offers diagnostic accuracy and the ability to treat uterine pathology. The current study aimed to review the findings and feasibility of the proposed office-based diagnostic and operative microhysteroscopy in previously diagnosed women with unexplained infertility and to evaluate the post-microhysteroscopic pregnancy outcome in a-year follow-up period. MaterialsAndMethod...

OBJECTIVE to quantify placenta-specific RNA in plasma of women carrying foetuses with intrauterine growth restriction and pregnant women with normal pregnancies. METHODS 8 pregnant women with foetuses with intrauterine growth restriction were studied as well as 18 women with uncomplicated pregnancies in the third pregnancy trimester. Total free RNA was quantified in maternal plasma by spectro...

INTRODUCTION The management of pregnancy in young women with essential thrombocythemia is complex and may present a difficult problem. An adverse pregnancy outcome due to thrombosis or bleeding is a common complication. in addition, little is known about fertility in these women prior to the disease. CASE OUTLINE We present the first case of a young woman with primary infertility and essentia...

ObjectiveTo determine whether body mass index (BMI) affects intrauterine insemination treatment success.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingAcademic medical center.Patient(s)A total of 3,217 cycles in 1,306 patients.Intervention(s)None.Main Outcome Measure(s)Primary outcome was live birth rate stratified by BMI. Secondary outcomes included rates clinical pregnancy (defined as an with a hear...

The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that the natural antioxidant melatonin (MEL) and the synthetic antioxidant stobadine (STO) could reduce the incidence of maternal and embryofoetal toxicity in rats due to intrauterine hypoxia. Chronic hypoxia was induced pharmacologically by the administration of the anticonvulsant phenytoin (PHT) during the entire period of pregnancy. PHT...

A contributing factor to poor placental perfusion, leading to intrauterine growth restriction and preeclampsia, is the failure of invading extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells to remodel the maternal uterine arteries during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. Noninvasive assessment of EVT cells in ongoing pregnancies is possible beginning three weeks after conception, using trophoblas...

background: intrauterine insemination (iui) is the first therapeutic step in assisted reproductive techniques and many factors, including male and female infertility and technique-dependent factors, have been reported to influence pregnancy rates after iui. methods: we carried out this retrospective study on 1201 couples undergoing 3012 intrauterine insemination cycles during 2002 to 2009. preg...

In the present study, we explored the microparticles involved in the control of hemostatic equilibrium, i.e microparticles originating from platelet, endothelial cells and total MP defined as annexin V positive microparticles. Our aim was to analyze the level and procoagulant activity of these microparticles in normal pregnancy and pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia or isolated intrauter...

BACKGROUND/AIM Usual histopatological diagnosis of intrauterine pregnancy is made by demonstration of chorionic villi, but in the curettage tissue from intrauterine miscarriage they may not be present in all cases. The use of monoclonal antibody against cytokeratin as a sensitive and reliable marker for the morphologic discrimination between invasive trophoblastic (IT) cells and decidual cells ...
