Abstract Introduction Uterine transplantation (UTx) allows women with abnormal uterine factor infertility (AUFI) to have their own biological children. UTx use both living and deceased donations (LD DD), once transplanted, embryos fertilised through IVF are implanted. The aims of this review summarise the history discuss ethical issues surrounding immunosuppression for a ‘life enhancing’ transp...

Introduction: Uterine artery embolization (UAE) has been used to treat symptomatic uterine leiomyomas, as women choose preserve their uterus, uterus sparing techniques such UAE have developed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence signal characteristics and the degree of leiomyoma enhancement may be predict response UAE. Objective: investigate role in different myomas with follow up by MRI....

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading cause of prenatal viral infection. Affected infants may suffer intrauterine growth retardation and serious neurologic impairment. Analysis of spontaneously aborted conceptuses shows that CMV infects the placenta before the embryo or fetus. In the human hemochorial placenta, maternal blood directly contacts syncytiotrophoblasts that cover chorionic vill...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the cause of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. This causative relationship has provided the rationale and incentive for development of a prophylactic vaccine. Such a vaccine, if found to be effective, could reduce the need for cervical cancer screening and have a profound effect on the incidence of cervical and other anogenital cancers. This ...

the present study was conducted on sixty healthy female domestic ruminants that suffered from still births or abortion, to find sero-positive cases and also to determine the probable role of uterine tissue in diagnosis of akabane viral infection and viral persistency. because of this, a serological test (elisa) and molecular (rt-pcr) diagnostic methods were used to find the seropositive cases a...

OBJECTIVE To compare the morbidity and mortality of 2 current techniques during cesarean delivery of an impacted fetal head. METHODS In a comparative setting, 59 pregnant women with obstructed labor due to impacted fetal head were recruited. The patients were categorized into 2 groups according to method of extraction: the "push" group (n=30) and the "pull" group (n=29). Uterus relaxants were...

To elucidate the roles of human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 primary unexplained infertile women, a prospective randomized study was conducted on a cohort of primary unexplained infertile women and a cohort of control women, with at least one successful pregnancy. HHV-6 DNA was analyzed and the percentage and immune-phenotype of resident endometrial Natural Killer (NK) cells, as the first line of defens...

Infection is a leading cause of preterm birth (PTB). A focus of many studies over the past decade has been to characterize microorganisms present in the uterine cavity and document any association with negative pregnancy outcome. A range of techniques have been used to achieve this, including microbiological culture and targeted polymerase chain reaction assays, and more recently, microbiome-le...

INTRODUCTION Pelvic actinomycosis constitutes 3% of all human actinomycosis infections. It is usually insidious, and is often mistaken for other conditions such as diverticulitis, abscesses, inflammatory bowel disease and malignant tumors, presenting a diagnostic challenge pre-operatively; it is identified post-operatively in most cases. Here we present a case that presented as pelvic malignanc...
