BACKGROUND Uterine arteriovenous malformation is a rare but life-threatening condition that accounts for 1-2% of massive vaginal bleeding. Uterine arteriovenous malformations are less common after menopause. The condition can be diagnosed using Doppler ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and pelvic angiography. CASE PRESENTATION We report a postmenopausal patient with...

Bilateral uterine artery embolisation (UAE) was used to treat 11 women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. Uterine volume and dominant fibroid volume were assessed quantitatively by ultrasonography both before and at two and six months post procedure. Both uterine arteries were occluded effectively in all of the women, and the procedure was well tolerated, with hospital stays limited to 24-48 ho...

A 6-year-old lactating Holstein cow with a history of repeat breeding syndrome (failed to conceive afterthree artificial inseminations (AI) with fertile semen) was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of theSchool of Veterinary Medicine, Shiraz University. According to the history, neither abnormal clinical signs,nor uterine discharge had been observed subsequent to AI. The cow had show...

mediator complex subunit 12 (med12) is a part of the mediator complex, which is believed to regulate transcription. med12 is mutated at high frequency and with different mutation frequencies in uterine fibroids and breast fibroadenomas of different populations. this study aimed to analyze med12 mutations in senegalese population. med12 was sequenced in the tumoral tissues and blood samples of s...

Transrectal color and power Doppler ultrasonography was used to study uterine blood flow and perfusion in mares with and without uterine cysts. Vascular perfusion of the uterus and blood flow velocities, vascular perfusion, diameter, circumference, and area of a cross section of the mesometrial attachment were evaluated. To study the effect of internal cysts, two matched groups (cystic and cont...

The objective was to determine the receptor subtype of angiotensin II (ANG II) that is responsible for vasoconstriction in the nonpregnant ovine uterine and systemic vasculatures. Seven nonpregnant estrogenized ewes with indwelling uterine artery catheters and flow probes received bolus injections (0.1, 0.3 and 1 microg) of ANG II locally into the uterine artery followed by a systemic infusion ...

uterine sarcoma is a rare tumor of mesodermal origin, accounting for 2-6% of uterine malignancies. leiomyosarcoma (lms) has been reported in only 1% of all uterine malignancies and is regarded as the most common primary uterine sarcoma. herein, we present a case of lms with unusual macroscopic features. the patient was a 61-year-old woman with lms, which consisted of a large cystic mass (88×136...
