Limited data are available at present on the effects of different PGs on uterine contractility, measured using intraluminal pressure changes in the complete uterus. The goal of this study was to assess dynamic changes in uterine contractility and peristalsis in response to PGs in comparison with the effects of o...

The ability of endometrial stromal cells from nonsensitized rat uteri to undergo decidualization in vitro was investigated. Cells were obtained by enzymatic dispersion from uteri of ovariectomized, steroid-treated rats at the equivalent of day 4, 5 or 6 of pseudopregnancy, or on day 5 from rats treated with 0, 0.3 or 1.0 microgram oestradiol (low, intermediate or high doses of oestradiol, respe...

Pror.*^ ? ns' interposition operation for prolapse ?aentia.

Watkins performed his first operation in 1898. Several modifications, notably that of Wertheim, hav...
