Hysteroscopic complications are infrequent. Major complications include: 1. Uterine perforation that is the most common complication of operative hysteroscopy (0.8 - 1.6 %). The perforation rate is less during diagnostic hysteroscopy. 2. Bowel or bladder injury which is rare, but may occur in association with uterine perforation or as a result of use of electrical current. 3. Cervical laceratio...

uterine inversion is shortly described as the indentation and depression of the fundic area extending downwards up to the different levels of the birth canal till vaginal opening. clinical diagnosis of uterine inversion is difficult due to its non-specific symptoms and physical examination. ultrasonography is the most practical modality for radiological evaluation, but it is inadequate to deter...

CASE REPORT This report describes a case of a pregnant 16-year-old adolescent who presented HPV infection in the uterine cervix and the mouth. Smears were collected from the cervix a...

Chronic cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are implicated in vascular diseases. Recently, we showed that an active mouse CMV (mCMV) infection in nonpregnant mice increased endothelial-dependent vasodilation in isolated mesenteric and uterine arteries. In late pregnancy, while increased vasodilation was found in mesenteric arteries from infected mice, there was a dramatic decrease in uterine arter...

Management options for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) include oxytocics, prostaglandins, genital tract exploration, ligation or angiographic embolization of uterine/internal iliac arteries, and hysterectomy. After excluding uterine rupture, genital tract lacerations, and retained placental tissue, efforts are directed toward contracting the uterus by bimanual compression and oxytocics. If these ar...

Ureaplasma diversum is an opportunistic pathogen associated with uterine inflammation, impaired embryo implantation, infertility, abortions, premature birth of calves and neonatal pneumonia in cattle. It has been suggested that the intra-uterine infection by Ureaplasma diversum can cause vascular changes that hinder the success of pregnancy. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the chang...

To analyze the relationship of blood metabolite concentrations and body condition score (BCS) with persistent bacterial uterine infection, specifically that caused by Trueperella pyogenes and anaerobic bacteria, uterine bacteriological swabs (n = 128) were collected from 64 Holstein cows at 5 (W5) and 7 (W7) weeks postpartum, and the percentage of neutrophils in the endometrium was evaluated. B...
