background: endometriosis is one of the most challenging diseases that constitute 20% - 40% of women searching for their infertility diagnosis. objective: this study was undertaken in order to compare the outcome of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ivf/icsi) in women with endometriosis, and tubal factor infertility as controls. materials and methods: from 2005 to 2006 a ...

background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the role of chlamydia serology as a screening test for tubal infertility and to compare the results with hysterosalpingography (hsg) and laparoscopic findings. materials and methods: this was a cross-sectional study undertaken on 110 infertile women treated in the ivf ward, at emam khomeini hospital, sari, iran who underwent laparoscopy a...

Bilateral spontaneous tubal ectopic pregnancy is the rarest form of extra uterine pregnancy. The diagnosis is usually made intraoperatively and levels of serum BHCG and ultrasound has not been useful in the diagnosis of bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy.A 33-year-old woman with 8 weeks amenorrhea and sever lower abdominal pain was admitted. A transvaginal pelvic ultrasound revealed left adnexal...

A huge number of deaths in the world are the direct or indirect consequence of a disease which is called atherosclerosis. The disease could be due to an artery blockage by the interaction of an externally second phase with a particle which is entered to the bloodstream. The effect of some most important physical and geometrical affecting parameters on the blockage time of a microchannel due to ...

Five new mathematical triple fouling models were developed to explore the flux decline behavior during the microfiltration. The first model was developed by the assumption of the successive effects of standard mechanism, intermediate pore blockage and cake formation by using the standard blocking flux expression in the model calculations. The second and third models also obtained by the success...

Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure for sterilization in which a woman's fallopian tubes are clamped and blocked, or severed and sealed, either method of which prevents eggs from reaching the uterus for implantation. However, fertilization can still occur in the fallopian tubes. While its benefits, such as effectiveness in protecting against pregnancies, minimal need for long-term follow-up ...

While female sterilization is most commonly performed through bilateral tubal ligation, but can be performed by tubal occlusion, this paper deals only with tubal ligation (TL) in the postpartum period. For many women or couples who have completed their family, a tubal ligation in the immediate postpartum period may represent an ideal method of family planning. Having the baby and a postpartum t...

Non-tubal ectopic pregnancies are a rare subgroup of ectopic pregnancies implanted at sites other than the Fallopian tube. Mortality from non-tubal ectopic pregnancies is higher compared with that for tubal ectopic pregnancies, and they are becoming more common, partly due to the rising incidence of Caesarean sections and use of assisted reproductive technologies. Non-tubal ectopic pregnancies ...

The measurement of tubal perfusion pressures (TPP) is a recent advance in the field of gynaecoradiology. Measurement of TPP involves a standardized technique using transcervically placed tubal catheters which is reviewed in detail. TPP assesses the functional status of the Fallopian tubes, i.e. their ability to permit pregnancy. Infertile patients with normal TPP demonstrated a higher pregnancy...
