Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is an entity associated with serious complications. The higher incidence of cesarean delivery related to a PAS. Until now there no valid strategy prevent PAS; however, relationship has been reported between the presence extensive myometrial defects in area where section was performed and increased risk developing PAS subsequent pregnancy. This observation gives r...

BACKGROUND Glycodelin, a glycoprotein, is present in both blood plasma and uterine flushings. It has been implicated in the process of implantation and angiogenesis. During the secretory phase, progesterone secretion is related to glycodelin production. METHODS AND RESULTS We obtained uterine flushings, prospectively, from 47 infertile patients during the proliferative phase. Patients were re...

In this article, we demonstrate the feasibility of saline infusion sonohysterography-based strain imaging for the determination of stiffness variations in uterine masses in vivo. Strain images are estimated using a 2-dimensional multilevel hybrid algorithm developed for sector array ultrasound transducers. Coarse displacements are initially estimated using envelope echo signals, followed by a g...

OBJECTIVE To describe the sonographic findings for malignant mixed Müllerian tumors (MMMTs) of the uterus with particular emphasis on their features on saline contrast sonohysterography (SCSH) and color Doppler sonography, and to determine how they relate to pathological findings. METHODS The SCSH and color Doppler findings in 29 histologically proven cases of uterine MMMT were reviewed retro...
