Introduction: Many previous studies have proved that the anatomical features of cervix can affect the success of artificial insemination. These characteristics differ in sheep breeds. This study aimed to describe the anatomical features of cervix in Zell ewes; the only tailed sheep in Iran. Methods: Eighty nonpregnant and clinically healthy reproductive tracts of adult Zel sheep were collected...

background : there are only a few reports that exist regarding primary non-hodgkin lymphoma of the genital tract. in this article, one case of primary b-cell type non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) of the cervix is presented. case history: a 45 year-old woman presented bloody vaginal  discharge. upon vaginal examination, the cervix was found to be enlarged. cervical biopsy revealed b-cell type non-hodg...

Introduction. Carcinoma of cervix rarely metastasizes to cervical lymph nodes and is associated with poor prognosis. To date, only few case reports have been reported in the medical literature. Here, we report a case of this unusual manifestation of carcinoma of cervix. Case Presentation. A 39-year-old Saudi woman who was treated three years ago for bulky IB stage carcinoma of cervix with total...

some physical properties and chemical compositions of two cultivars (semsouri and shahabadi) of cantaloupe studied during four different stages of maturity from fruit set to completely ripe. the physical properties investigated were the geometric mean diameter (gmd), specific gravity (sg), mean firmness (mf), rind, seed (%) and flesh (%). the chemical compositions were brix, titrable acidity (t...

Cervical abnormalities may be congenital or acquired. Congenital anomalies of the cervix are rarely isolated, and more commonly accompany other uterine anomalies. Various imaging tools have been used in the assessment of Mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs). Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for definitive diagnosis and classification of the MDAs. Hysterosalpingog...

Using a progesterone receptor antagonist, onapristone/ZK 98.299, we examined the in-vivo effects of progesterone on the function of uterine cervix during pregnancy. Onapristone was intravenously administered to pregnant rabbits on day 20 post coitum. After 24 h, the antiprogesterone increased the wet weight of the uterine cervix and decreased the DNA concentration in the cervix. In-situ hybridi...

Abnormal looking cervix, or suspicious cervix, is a common clinical condition seen in gynecological practice. Colposcopic examination of the cervix allows differentiation between physiologic changes that occur in response to normal cyclic variations in hormone secretion and a variety of structural and pathological conditions. This article addresses some of these common clinical problems and pro...

Introduction: Sarcoma of the cervix is uncommon and its prevalence is about 1% of malignancies of the cervix. One type of sarcoma is leiomyosarcoma and the location of this tumor in cervix is very rare. Although uterine sarcoma can involve the cervix and lead to misdiagnosis of cervical leiomyosarcoma, the location of the bulk of the tumor in uterine cervix (not isthmus) for diagnosis of cervic...

Background: Cancer cervix is the most common cancer in women of the developing countries where screening facilities are inadequate. Cancer cervix is a preventable cancer due to its long pre invasive stage and availability of screening methods. Colposcopy is an in situ clinical examination of cervix with magnification and illumination. It is a clinical method that complements the laboratory meth...
