Mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) is a part of the mediator complex, which is believed to regulate transcription. MED12 is mutated at high frequency and with different mutation frequencies in uterine fibroids and breast fibroadenomas of different populations. This study aimed to analyze MED12 mutations in Senegalese population. MED12 was sequenced in the tumoral tissues and blood samples of S...

The aim of this study was to examine whether the secreted fluid from the uterus influences the survival and fertilization capacity of fowl sperm in the hen oviduct. Hens with either regular uterine fluid secretion or irregular uterine fluid secretion were artificially inseminated through the transfer of sperm into the uterus. Twenty-four hours after  artificial insemination, 3 hens with regular...

Embryo transfer (ET) is the final and most crucial step of the IVF procedure, characterized by a close collaboration between the clinician and the embryologist. Several studies have shown improvement in clinical pregnancy rates resulting from a focus on different aspects of the gentle embryo transfer technique. Issues such as impact of physician’s experience, trial transfer, catheter type, embr...

Uterine prolapse is a common obstetrical problem, which adversely affects productive and reproductive performance of cattle by affecting postpartum return to estrus, conception rate and calving interval and the incidence of uterine prolapse as 42.9% among various obstetrical problems in cattle. In this study total uterine prolapse, replacement of everted organ of uterine proplase was done manua...

Background & Objectives: Recurrent miscarriage (RM) occurs in some women. There is much evidence that increased uterine blood flow resistance (reduced uterine perfusion) increases the risk of RM. This study was aimed at evaluating the efficacy of Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids, alone or in combination with aspirin, in the reduction of uterine blood flow resistance in women with a history of RM. Metho...

Uterine inversion is a rare condition that is accompanied by massive hemorrhaging and shock, resulting in a maternal emergency. The diagnosis of uterine inversion is often difficult due to massive postpartum hemorrhaging. Ultrasonography is useful for the diagnosis in such conditions, but we do not often encounter typical ultrasonographic images in uterine inversion because it occurs rarely. In...

Completion of uterine curettage may be challenging following uterine perforation even under sonographic and laparoscopic monitoring. This report illustrates the use of a flexible intubating stylet as a guide to place the suction curette into the uterine cavity when sonography and laparoscopy alone are not successful. Use of a malleable instrument such as an intubating stylet as a guide should b...

background & objectives: tumor diathesis (td) is defined as granular proteinaceous precipitates on slide surface of cytologic smears. it is found in the background of smears of invasive carcinoma but not in all cases. the aim of present study was to determine the prevalence of td in cervicovaginal smears from patients with uterine cervix carcinoma. methods: cytological smears and histologi...

The objective of this study was to review the literature on sperm transport in the mare. During this process the sperm cells must reach the oviducts in order to fertilize the oocyte, but before reaching this site it must go through the uterus that is a hostile environment at this moment since there is an inflammatory reaction in this location that aims to eliminate excess spermatozoa and bacter...
