We present here a case of uterine perforation following manual removal of the placenta during the third stage of normal labor. Total abdominal hysterectomy was performed, and the 4x3-cm perforation of the uterus and placenta accreta were confirmed. In this case, the round ligament covering the hematoma prevented bleeding into the peritoneal cavity and peritonitis. Manual removal of the placenta...

Man is the only reservoir of cytomegalovirus. 13% of the general population are carriers of this virus with a high incidence of intra uterine infection. A wide variety of abnormalities has been observed, including hearing loss, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, seizures, blindness, defects in tooth structure and poor school performance. Congenital CMV infection is usually due to transplacenta...

Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), as an indirect measure of developmental instability (DI), has been intensively studied for associations with stress and fitness. Patterns, however, appear heterogeneous and the underlying causes remain largely unknown. One aspect that has received relatively little attention in the literature is the consequence of direct mechanical effects on asymmetries. The crucial...

Adenosarcoma of the uterus is a mixed epithelial-mesenchymal tumor containing benign glandular epithelial component with sarcomatous mesenchymal stroma. This rare tumor accounts for only 8% of all uterine sarcomas (1). It has been suggested that some cases of the uterine adenosarcoma may be associated with hyperestrinism due to the administration of tamoxifen and prior radiation exposure (1-3)....

BACKGROUND By the age of 60 years, an estimated 33% of women will have undergone a hysterectomy. Approximately 85% of these hysterectomies are performed for benign disease. The object of this study was to evaluate cytologic findings from vaginal cuff smears in patients who have undergone hysterectomy for benign uterine conditions. METHODS We conducted a community-based retrospective study and...

Obstetric cholestasis is a liver disease of pregnancy that can be complicated by sudden, hitherto unexplained, intra-uterine fetal death. Because intra-uterine death occurs suddenly, and because fetal heart rate abnormalities have been reported in obstetric cholestasis, we hypothesized that intra-uterine death is caused by impaired fetal cardiomyocyte function, resulting in fetal cardiac arrest...

Preeclampsia is associated with impaired uteroplacental adaptations during pregnancy and abnormalities in the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)-NO pathway, but whether eNOS deficiency plays a causal role is unknown. Thus, the objective of the current study was to determine the role of eNOS in the mother and/or conceptus in uteroplacental changes during pregnancy using eNOS knockout mice. We quanti...

Context: The caesarean section rate continues to increase in our different health structures specially for women who have not had a scar the uterus. Objectives: aim of this study was analyze key factors and main indications primary sections find ways reduce increasing rates. Patients Method: This is longitudinal retrospective carried out from June 1, 2018 July 31, 2022. included all patients ce...

BACKGROUND This study was designed to evaluate the incidence of uterine pathologies in infertile women with a history of two implantation failures after in vitro fertilization (IVF) and estimate the effect of hysteroscopic correction on achieving a pregnancy in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The retrospective study population included 238 infertile women attended the outpatient inferti...
