heterotopic pregnancy is a rare event in natural conception cycles. the prevalence of heterotopic pregnancy is known to be increasing in part due to more precise diagnostic techniques and widespread use of of assisted reproductive technology. a case of an incidental heterotopic pregnancy diagnosed at 10 weeks of gestational age is reported here in which laparotomy was scheduled and right salpin...

objective: various practical methods have been used for pregnancy diagnosis in sheep. methods of pregnancy diagnosis depending on visualization of the conceptus or determination of its secretory products in the maternal blood or in the milk are the most accurate and specific methods for pregnancy. in 1980, b-mode ultrasonography was introduced in the veterinary field and used for pregnancy diag...

ectopic pregnancy (ep) is a potentially life-threatening condition in which the embryo implants outside the uterine endometrial cavity. abdominal pregnancy is an atypical site wherein the product of conception lies totally outside the reproductive tract. primary abdominal pregnancy is a very rare condition with a high mortality rate. diagnosis is often late or misdiagnosed. the aim of introduci...

Broad ligament pregnancy is a rare event and diagnosis is often late in our setting. Two multiparous women in early thirties presented for routine antenatal care. Routine ultrasonography revealed midtrimester abdominal pregnancies. Broad ligament pregnancy was diagnosed in both cases at laparotomy and both had excision of pregnancy and salpingo-ophorectomy with satisfactory recovery. Ultrasonog...

We have examined prospectively whether the combined approach of establishing tolerance intervals for the circadian variability of blood pressure (BP) as a function of gestational age, and then determining the so-called hyperbaric index (area of BP excess above the upper limit of the tolerance interval) by comparison of any patient's BP profile (obtained by ambulatory monitoring) with those inte...

BACKGROUND Stillbirth is a major contributor to perinatal mortality and it is particularly common in low- and middle-income countries, where annually about three million stillbirths occur in the third trimester. This study aims to develop a prediction model for early detection of pregnancies at high risk of stillbirth. METHODS This retrospective cohort study examined 6,573 pregnant women who ...

background: the value of serial measurement of serum ß subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (ßhcg) and ultrasonography in the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy has well established. objective: the objective of this study was to explore the diagnostic value of raising level of serum ßhcg, single measurement of progesterone (p) and estradiol (e2) in early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. mat...

background: although heterotopic gestation is common in assisted reproductive techniques, it is very rare in natural conception and clomiphene induced pregnancy. diagnosis and appropriate intervention of heterotopic pregnancy requires a high index of suspicious. case: in this paper a case of heterotopic pregnancy in a 30-year old woman with hemoperitoneum from ruptured tubal pregnancy with live...
