Infertility is actually widespread pathological condition, which affected one in every four couples in developing countries. Approximately one third of all cases are connected with tubal factor infertility, o en accompanies by endometriosis, acute salpingitis, urogenital infections etc. The newly identified telocytes (TCs) have multiple potential bio-functions and might participate in the ferti...

introduction: chlamydia is an important cause of sexually transmitted diseases leading to tubal factor infertility. background: this study aims to define the role of chlamydial antibody detection in predicting presence, nature and type of tubal pathology in laparoscopy. materials and methods: a prospective study was conducted on 200 consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopy as a part of infer...

BACKGROUND The occurrence of fluid accumulation within the uterine cavity was examined in women undergoing IVF to investigate its correlation with tubal disease and impact on the pregnancy outcome. METHODS A registry of ultrasound procedures spanning 5 years was retrospectively studied. RESULTS Thirty five out of 746 (4.7%) IVF cycles were identified as having uterine fluid accumulation, an...

BACKGROUND Conventional meta-analysis has estimated the sensitivity and specificity of hysterosalpingography (HSG) to be 65% and 83%. The impact of patient characteristics on the accuracy of HSG is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess by individual patient data meta-analysis whether the accuracy of HSG is associated with different patient characteristics. METHODS We approached authors...

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...

BACKGROUND Cases of ectopic pregnancy (EP) following levonorgestrel (LNG) emergency contraception (EC) failure were reported, however, the effects of LNG on tubal microenvironment or chorionic villi in EP have not yet been documented. METHODS Fifty-five women with tubal pregnancy were divided into two groups according to whether LNG-EC was administrated during the cycle of conception. The ser...

BACKGROUND Genital tract infections and obesity are both sources of oxidative stress. Alterations in immune and antioxidant parameters may arise from this or from an indeterminate autoimmune mechanism. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the association of Chlamydial infection, obesity and oxidative response with tubal infertility in Nigerian women. METHODS It was a case-control study...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the outcomes of IVF/ICSI treatment cycles in Chinese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS (n = 128) and tubal factor (n = 128) underwent a conventional long GnRH agonist suppressive protocol. Women with PCOS had significantly more oocytes retrieved (P < 0.05) and available embryos (P <...

BACKGROUND Recent advances suggest fallopian tube as the main cellular source for women's pelvic serous carcinoma (PSC). In addition to TP53 mutations, many other genetic changes are involved in pelvic serous carcinogenesis. IMP3 is an oncofetal protein which has recently been observed to be overexpressed in benign-looking tubal epithelia. Such findings prompted us to examine the relationship b...
