to investigate uterine and serum ca++ and mg++ variations during the estrous cycle in the bovine, 66 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from urmia abattoir, urmia, iran. the phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examination of the structures present on ovaries and uterine tonicity. of the collected samples, 17 were pro-estrus, 12 estrus, 14 metestrus and 23 diestrus. the ute...

the aim of this study was to examine whether the secreted fluid from the uterus influences the survival and fertilization capacity of fowl sperm in the hen oviduct. hens with either regular uterine fluid secretion or irregular uterine fluid secretion were artificially inseminated through the transfer of sperm into the uterus. twenty-four hours after  artificial insemination, 3 hens with regular...

uterine infection is one of the reproductive diseases that can have disturbing postpartumuterine health in cattle. therefore, identification of resistant genotypes to uterine infection isimportant. lactoferrin (lf) is one of the major antimicrobial compounds in the normal uterinedischarges of cows. we hypothesized that allelic diversity in lf gene may contribute tosusceptibility or resistance t...

conclusions our study demonstrated that 3d tvs has a good efficacy and reliable agreement with hysteroscopy in diagnosis of uterine lesions among infertile women. therefore, it can decrease the number of diagnostic hysteroscopies. results totally, 153 women were recruited in the investigation. patients aged 30.78 ± 4.79 years in average and the duration of infertility was 4.2 ± 2.91 years among...

UNLABELLED Uterine artery adaptations during gestation facilitate increases in uterine blood flow and fetal growth. HYPOTHESIS local expression and distribution of uterine artery connexins play roles in mediating in vivo gestational eNOS activation and NO production. We established an ovine model restricting pregnancy to a single uterine horn and measured uterine blood flow, uterine artery sh...

Uterine vascular tone significantly decreases whereas uterine blood flow dramatically increases during pregnancy. However, the complete molecular mechanisms remain elusive. We hypothesized that increased Ca -activated K (BKCa) channel activity contributes to the decreased myogenic tone of uterine arteries in pregnancy. Resistance-sized uterine arteries were isolated from nonpregnant and near-te...

Post-partum haemorrhage is a major determinant of maternal mortality. Traditionally, cases of post-partum haemorrhage caused by arterial injuries were managed by caesarean hysterectomies or bilateral internal iliac artery ligations. The diagnosis of aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations of uterine artery are often missed. Uterine curettage, caesarean section or vaginal delivery can result in...

background: congenital uterine malformations are the result of disturbances in mullerian duct development. in patients with recurrent miscarriage, the reported frequency of uterine anomalies varies widely, from 1.8% to 37.6%. there are reports in which cervical cerclage has been shown to prevent preterm labor in uterine anomalies. the aim of this study was to compare the role of cervical cercla...

this is a case-control study. the purpose was to investigate for risk factors for cystocele, rectocele, and uterine prolapsed in women. the sample was 249 women who refereed to a gynecological clinic. of them 155 women placed in case and 84 women placed in control group. the tool for data gathering was a questionnaire which was designed in three parts. the first part was demographic characteris...

background uterine artery embolization (uae) is a minimally invasive procedure performed under fluoroscopy for the treatment of uterine fibroids and accompanied by radiation exposure. objectives to compare ovarian radiation doses during uterine artery embolization (uae) in patients using conventional digital subtraction angiography (dsa) with those using digital flat-panel technology. patients ...
