background: embryo transfer has received little clinical attention and has been the most inefficient step in in-vitro fertilization (ivf). recent reports have suggested that an awareness of the position and length of the uterus during embryo transfer might be helpful in improving pregnancy rate. objectives: the main objective of the present study was to determine the relation between the length...

Endometrial cancer Double uterus Histopathology Abstract We report a rare case of endometrial carcinoma arisen from both horns of an asymmetrical double uterus. Dr. Yoshiharu Tsukahara, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shinshu University School of Medicine, Asahi 3-1-1, Matsumoto 390 (Japan) Introduction Although the incidence of a malformed uterus is not so rare, there have been few re...

Background and Objective: Uterus of rat with polycystic ovary (PCO) may show pathological features. We provided pathological evidence for the rat uterus with NO-induced PCO.    Materials and Methods: Wistar rats (weighing 200-250 g) were kept diestrous to receive L-arginine (50 mg/kg) intraperitoneally (i.p.) for 9 days/once a day. Control group solely received saline (1 ml/kg, 9 days/once per ...

We report two interesting and rare case reports, a 60 year old with well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of cervix with superficial spreading into the endometrium, other female of 70 year old with features of CIN III also involving the endometrium with multilfocal epidermidization consistent with icthyosis uteri, involving cervix and endometrium. p16 was used as a surrogate marker which ...

Uterus development during pre-implantation stage affects implantation process and embryo growth. Aberrant uterus development is associated with many human reproductive diseases. Among the factors regulating uterus development, vascular remodeling promoters are critical for uterus function and fertility. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as one of the major members, has been found to be...

A surrogate constraint is an inequality implied by the constraints of an integ~r program, and designed to capture useful information that cannot be extra~ted from the parent constraints individually but is nevertheless a consequepce of their conjunction. The use of such constraints as originally propo~ed by the author has recently been extended in an important way by EGON! BALAS and ARTHUR GEOF...

Complete bicornuate uterus is a type of Mullerian duct deformity, resulting from abnormal duct fusion. Similar to other Mullerian anomalies, bicornuate uterus is associated with specific complications during possible pregnancies. While various studies have reported successful deliveries in a bicornuate uterus, it might be accompanied with various complications, ranging from preterm labor to mor...

It is well known that an increase in glycogen content is one of the metabolic changes which estrogen induces in rat uterus, the target organ of the hormone . Although glycogen in the uterus has been considered to be an energy and nutritional source for the implan tation and growth of fertilized ovum, the mechanism of glycogen synthesis in the uterus and the biological significance of the elevat...

Current data on uterus allotransplantation research has been reviewed and summarized. Over the past 15 years, progress in uterus transplantation research has increased dramatically. As a consequence, the first pregnancy and delivery following uterus allotransplantation in rats have been reported. The technique has been better defined. Although clinical pregnancy and delivery following uterus al...
