OBJECTIVE To determine the pathological patterns of fallopian tubes and uterus on hysterosalpingogrphy (HSG) examination in cases of infertility. METHODS Two years retrospective charts review of patients referred to our centre for HSG evaluation of infertility, from July 2008 to July 2010. RESULTS Four thousand one hundred eight hysterosalpingograms were carried out at our centre during the...

A prospective, randomized, blinded study was conducted to compare the use of a balloon catheter for performing hysterosalpingography (HSG) with the use of a traditional metal cannula. Sixty-one consecutive women who underwent HSG for evaluation of infertility were prospectively randomized to undergo the procedure with either a metal cannula (n = 31) or the balloon catheter (n = 30). The HSG pro...

The NRCS-CN method, integrated with GIS and remote sensing, can be used for estimating curve numbers (CN) surface runoff in geohydrological systems. study area is divided into 63 sub-basins, the land use cover (LULC)-hydrologic soil group (HSG) complex identified each sub-basin. CN values three antecedent moisture (AMC) conditions are calculated corrected slope variations. depth determined usin...

Pasture micro-nutrient concentrations are often deficient for herbage productivity and the health of livestock. The aim this study was to investigate soil content effects on yield three pasture systems North Wyke Farm Platform (NWFP): high-sugar grass + legume mix minus nitrogen (N) fertilizer (blue/HSG L); permanent plus N (green/P N); (red/HSG N). locations with high total had a greater slope...

BACKGROUND Different screening strategies exist to estimate the risk of tubal factor subfertility, preceding laparoscopy. Three screening strategies, comprising Chlamydia trachomatis IgG antibody testing (CAT), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) testing and hysterosalpingography (HSG), were explored using laparoscopy as reference standard and the occurrence of a spontaneous pregnancy ...

Background: Tubal pathology ranks among the most frequent causes of subfertility, next to ovulatory disorders and sperm defects .There fore , assessment of tubal patency is a fundamental part of infertility workup. Investigation for tubal disease can be divided into radiological tests: hysterosalpingography (HSG) , selective salpingography and hystero-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy) , microbiologi...

BACKGROUND Recent data have outlined a relationship between the composition of the intestinal microflora and allergic inflammation, and demonstrated the competence of probiotics in downregulation of such inflammation. AIMS Our aims were to characterise the relationship between gut microbes and the extent of allergic sensitisation and to assess whether the efficacy of bifidobacterial supplemen...

BACKGROUND Studies have shown that pistachios can improve blood lipid profiles in subjects with moderate hypercholesterolemia which could reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, there is also a widely perceived view that eating nuts can lead to body weight gain due to their high fat content. PURPOSE To investigate the impact of different dosages of pistachios on body weight, blood...

OBJECTIVE To compare tuboperitoneal factors of infertile women by hysterosalpingography (HSG) and laparoscopy. METHODS In this cohort study, 82 infertile cases were evaluated retrospectively by laparoscopy, 3 months subsequent to HSG in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Medical School of Dicle University, Diyarbakir, Turkey, between March 2004 and April 2006. The findings of HSG an...
