This monograph offers a comprehensive review of the present knowledge of the structure of the serosal coverings of the pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities in humans and laboratory animals. The authors provide data from their own research--with transmission and scanning electron microscopy--on the structure of the main components of the serosal membranes: mesothelial cells, underlying ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the maximal intraluminal pressure (MIP) supported by canine cadaveric urinary bladders that underwent cystotomy followed by cystorraphy, with and without serosal patching-supplementation. METHODS Two groups (n=8 each) were formed, and in one (conventional) the cystotomy was closed with cushing pattern. In the other group (serosal), the same procedure was performed, and a p...

Glucose accumulation by the everted sacs of the rat small intestine has been investigated during mucosal, serosal and bilateral oxygenations. The conditions are described under which active accumulation of glucose is provided by serosal but not only mucosal oxygenation. It has been found that the active accumulation of glucose during the bilateral oxygenation is approximately equal to the sum o...

The advised treatment for severe adenomyosis is hysterectomy, but for patients wishing to preserve their uterus, novel conservative surgery, adenomyomectomy, can be performed. The technique needs to be developed to reduce spontaneous uterine rupture, adhesion and recurrence rates. This study aimed to investigate the safety and therapeutic outcomes of adenomyomectomy. Prospectively, 103 Iranian ...

Introduction: The most common complaint of women visiting hospital in the gynaecological outpatient department is abnormal uterine bleeding. Our aim to do a retrospective study and analyze histopathological specimen patients undergoing hysterectomy with vaginal Material Methods: All specimens fixed 10% formalin received pathology were examined studied for diagnosis. Specimens grossed, paraffin ...

Uptake of phosphate by the everted intestinal sacs of mice was measured at various concentrations of this anion in the incubation medium. Phenol red when added to the serosal side was able to inhibit the uptake of phosphate significantly, while uptake of glucose or proline was unaffected. When para amino hippuric acid was present along with phenol red in the serosal compartment, the inhibition ...

UNLABELLED A 54 year old lady presented for routine excision of a scalp lesion thought clinically to represent a sebaceous cyst of the right occiput. 4 years earlier she underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and right salpingo-oophorectomy for 3 large uterine fibroids. Histo-pathological examination of the hysterectomy specimen revealed an incidental low-grade leiomyosarcoma. Staging imaging w...

introduction: adhesion formation after pelvic surgery is still a major cause of several morbidities such as infertility, pain, bowel obstruction and subsequent intra-operative complications. our aim was to investigate the effects of d-penicillamine in preventing adhesion formation in rat uterine horn. methods: this experimental trial was conducted on 30 rats. the rats were randomly assigned to ...
