During this cohort study, the copper-intrauterine device (IUD) did not modify subendometrial microvascularization. However, subendometrial blood flow increased in patients who experienced IUD-induced side effects.

We report a combined intra-uterine and tubal pregnancy associated with mild ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) following ovulation induction by clomiphene. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy was originally missed until rupture occurred. OHSS confused the clinical picture, the important diagnostic feature being the fall in the haemoglobin concentration. The patient had a left partial salpi...

The uterine corpus represents the most common site for tumour development in the female genital system. Uterine neoplasms are categorised as epithelial, mesenchymal, mixed epithelial-mesenchymal or trophoblastic tumours. In this study we employed a mouse genetic approach using the MuLE lentiviral gene regulatory system to functionally test the ability of ecotropic lentiviruses to model epitheli...

Two newborn babies with an intact atrial septum are described. In one, the two components of the atrial septum appeared to have become fused after relatively normal initial development; the left side of this heart was hypoplastic. In the other baby the formation of the atrial septum appeared to have been completely anomalous; this heart showed mitral atresia, absence of the left ventricle, and ...

I first saw her on 30th J...
