Objective: Analysis of management in 22 ectopic pregnancies clinically presented as an atypical form. Patients and Methods: Twenty two patients with suspected ectopic pregnancy were successfully managed laparoscopically during three years period at Victory Nursing and infertility management centre, Khulna, Bangladesh. Results: All patients had dull ache pain in lower abdomen or any one of the i...

The fetus obtains a significant amount of cholesterol from de novo synthesis. Studies have suggested that maternal cholesterol may also contribute to the cholesterol accrued in the fetus. Thus, the present studies were completed to determine whether diet-induced maternal hypercholesterolemia would affect fetal sterol metabolism. To accomplish this, maternal plasma cholesterol concentrations wer...

The purpose of this article was to evaluate the accuracy of predicting amnionicity using the number of yolk sacs by diagnostic ultrasound examination in monochorionic (MC) multifetal pregnancies between 7 + 0 and 9 + 6 gestational weeks. A total of 97 patients with MC multifetal pregnancies underwent early ultrasound examination from 2004 to 2014 at Cheil General Hospital and Women's Healthcare...

Whole embryo culture techniques were used to test the effects of sodium arsenate on the rates of DNA, RNA, and protein accumulation. Rat embryos were isolated on the 10th gestational day (sperm day = Day 0) either 4 or 24 hr after maternal injection. The cultivation period was for 24 or 42 hr. DNA, RNA, and protein values were not significantly different for in utero treatment 4 hr prior to dis...

We performed aspiration of early pregnancy on 100 women requesting termination, using a low caliber angled catheter under sonographic guidance, without analgesia or anesthesia. The sonographic inclusion criteria for the study were: (1) mean gestational sac diameter less than 30 mm, or (2) crown rump length less than 10 mm when an embryo was visualized. The uterine content was successfully evacu...

Pregnancy in a cesarean scar is the rarest form of an ectopic pregnancy. The treatment for cesarean scar pregnancy mainly includes systemic methotrexate and uterine artery embolization. Here, we reported a case of cesarean scar pregnancy treated by curettage and aspiration guided by laparoscopy. The treatment plan included two phases. Three days after a combination of methotrexate and mifeprist...

Objective: To describe a novel noninvasive diagnostic technique, named virtual sonographic hysterosalpingoscopy, which can be helpful for the detection of ectopic tubal pregnancy. Materials & Methods: Sonographic hysterosalpingoscopy was performed with the use of fly-through technology in 10 pregnant women in whom ectopic pregnancy was suspected. All examinations were performed by a vaginal ult...

This is a case report of a 33 year-old-woman who underwent in vitro fertilization, because of primary infertility caused by fallopian tube factor. The patient underwent three trials of frozen embryo transfers (ET-CRYO). On the 26th day after the third probe of ET-CRYO she suffered from pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding. Transvaginal ultrasonographic scan revealed bilateral tubal ectopic pregnanc...

Background: The bovine yolk sac derives from visceral endoderm and its development occurs between days 18-23 of gestation. The study of this membrane is important for comparative data and has already been performed in rodents, sheep and in cattle, especially Bos taurus. In species Bos indicus the yolk sac has not quite been studied and is believed that there are morphological differences betwee...
