It was noticed, at birth, that 'something came down' into the vulva when the baby cried; it was for this reason that the child was sent immediately to hospital. She had not passed urine or faeces. ON EXAMINATION. The child appeared to be quite healthy; the only abnormality found was that at the vulva. There...

BACKGROUND Accumulating data suggest that the state of the vaginal epithelium affects a woman's risk of HIV vaginal transmission and several human and non-human primate studies have shown that the rate of HIV or SIV vaginal transmission is decreased when estrogen is dominant. Systemic estrogen can protect against SIV vaginal transmission. OBJECTIVE To determine the safety and efficacy of topi...

Aim: Despite grate progress in treatments, breast cancer is still the most common invasive cancer and the most cause of cancer related death in women. Treatment could be improved and perhaps standardized if more reliable markers for tumour progression and poor prognosis could be developed. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether patient-based machine learning (ML) driven ...

Background: Acoustic cavitation which occurs at high intensities of ultrasound waves can be fatal for tumor cells; however, it can be used to destroy cancer cells as an efficient therapeutic method. On the other hand, it is known that the existence of nanoparticles in a liquid decreases the acoustic cavitation onset threshold. Materials and Methods: In this work, the combined effects of therape...

A 7-year-old girl reported with a lump in the lower abdomen of 3 months' duration. There was no history of abdominal pain, gastrointestinal or respiratory disturbance, or vaginal discharge.

Vaginal cuff dehiscence is a rare complication of total hysterectomy. It occurs more frequently after laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy than abdominal vaginal

Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (STCS) is a rare, morphologically heterogeneous and highly aggressive tumour of ambiguous origin. It is characterized by the presence of benign and malignant epithelial, mesenchymal and neuroectodermal components. Because of their rarity and heterogeneity, these lesions are often misdiagnosed, leading to management difficulties. Adequate sampling with a high index...

The role of pelvic floor muscle contraction in the genesis of anal canal pressure is not clear. Recent studies have suggested that vaginal distension increases pelvic floor muscle contraction. We studied the effects of vaginal distension on anal canal pressure in 15 nullipara asymptomatic women. Anal pressure, rest, and squeeze were measured using station pull-through manometry techniques with ...
