Septate uterus is the most common structural anomaly of all mullerian defects. It is included in Class V of the AFS classification of anomalies of mullerian ducts. Fusion of the median septum of the mullerian ducts proceeds cephalad from the mullerian tubercle up to the junction of future round ligaments; shortly thereafter, the septum between the ducts is resorbed. Congenital defects can occur...

La grossesse ovarienne représente une entité rare parmi les grossesses ectopiques où l'ovaire est le siège de la nidation. Son diagnostic nécessite une démarche bien codifiée. Les particularités des facteurs déterminant, des caractéristiques histopathologiques et évolutives des grossesses ovariennes nous a conduit à porter un intérêt pour cette forme de grossesse ectopique. Nous rapportons 3 ca...

The epithelial and mesothelial cellular components of organs can be obtained as dissociated cells using adequate procedures of enzymatic digestion followed by pycnotic separation on density gradients. Using a specially developed procedure for tissue dissociation, the epithelial and connective tissue components of endometria from pseudopregnant mice were grown in culture using a combination of t...

SUM]IARY The release of cytoplasmic enzymes from vital populations of ELD ascites tumor cells and cultivated strain L clone 9~9 cells has been studied under aerobic and anaerobic conditions in media containing glucose and serum albumin. The released enzyme activities were used as markers for the release of intracellular proteins. The catheptic, glutathione reductase, and lactic dehydrogenase ac...

Schistosoma haematobium is endemic in Iraq, constituting an important health problem in this country [1,2]. Boulanger in 1919 reported the geographical distribution of schistosomiasis in Mesopotamia [2]. More recent reports suggest that the reported incidence of schistosomiasis in the Iraqi adult population is 4.9% [3], and the incidence in autopsy materials in the Medical City Teaching Hospita...

While adequate amounts of sex hormones are necessary for conception and maintenance of a normal course of pregnancy, many investigators have reported that sex hormones administered in large doses caused two kinds of pregnancy disturbances; the first, preventing conception by suppressing ovulation and interrupting the processes of fertilization, tubal transport and nidation of fertilized ovum(Sm...
