Bacterial infections and inflammation of the uterus are common in dairy cattle after parturition. In particular, pathogenic bacteria that cause endometritis have been the focus of research in cattle reproduction in the last ten years. The aim of the present study was to identify commensal lactobacilli in the bovine uterus and to examine their influence on the synthesis of pro-inflammatory facto...

Precursors of uterine NK cells home to the uterus during early pregnancy from multiple lymphohemopoietic sources. In mouse uterine tissue, pregnancy markedly up-regulates both L-selectin- and alpha(4) integrin-dependent adhesion pathways for circulating human CD56(bright) cells, the phenotype of human uterine NK cells. Based on roles for these adhesion molecules in lymphocyte homing, we examine...

HORMONAL ALTERATION OF THE RESPONSE OF THE RAT UTERUS TOCATECHOLAMINES Jack Diamond* and Theodore M. Brody** Department of Pharmacology, University of Michigan Medical School Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. A. (Received 22 August 1966 ; in final form 23 September 1966) Ahlquist~) has postulated that all uteri possess both ß-inhibitory and a-stimulatory adrenergic receptors . Evidence supporting this...

Portable and departmental ultrasound scanning has become an increasingly utilised investigative tool in the diagnosis of puerperal complications. It must be emphasised that an understanding of the normal ultrasonographic appearance of the postpartum uterus is a prerequisite for the accurate diagnosis of puerperal pathology. This article aims to review the current understanding and application o...

The objective: a determination of the effectiveness anemia treatment with intravenous iron (III) hydroxide sucrose complex in pregnant women pathological placentation, as first stage “patient blood management” before delivery.Materials and methods. Among 86 placental pathology, 58 (70.7 %) had anemia. Severe hemoglobin level <70 g/l was 13 (22.4 %), moderate <90 — 19 (32.8 %). group inclu...

black pepper ( piper nigrum ) from piperaceae and its main ingredient (piperine) reduces gastric emptying in rats. in iranian traditional medicine, black pepper is used to relief the menorrhalgia in women. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of black pepper fruit aqueous extract on non-pregnant rat uterus contractions and the mechanism(s) of its action. to prepare the extract, b...

was not possible, so a thorough examination of the pelvis was performed by the rectal route. At examination, no uterus or ovaries was felt and the vagina appeared to be replaced by a mass of fibrous tissue. She was admitted into the private wing of tKe Hospital for Women, Soho Square, London, for a thorough examination under a general anaesthetic. The hymen was normal, but no vagina could be fo...

We report the case of a second gesture, second parity 42-year old patient, undergoing surgical treatment for interstitial uterine myoma. The postoperative course was marked by a skin infection associated with uterine eventration. On physical examination, the patient was febrile (39.5 °C) with evisceration of the uterus and green pus discharge from the surgical site. Laboratory tests showed a he...

Protamine sulphate (PS) effect on spontaneous and calcium-induced rhythmic contractions of isolated virgin rat uteri was studied. PS caused dose-dependent relaxation of both types of contractions (two-way ANOVA, significant dose effects). Pretreatment with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 10(-5) mol/l), methylene blue (MB; 0.9 x 10(-6) mol/l) or propranolol (1.7 x 10(-5) mol/l) enhance...

Rupture of uterus is an obstetrical complication characterized by a breach in the uterine wall and the overlying serosa. We report an unusual case of spontaneous rupture of an unscarred uterus in a 33-year-old woman, a day after her third successful vaginal delivery. A 33-year-old pregnant woman, gravid 3, para 3, was referred to our department at 39 gestational week because of rupture of membr...
