The non-neoplastic lesions of the uterine cervix are frequently seen in the histopathology departments. Of the 821 cervical specimens received, 909 non-neoplastic lesions were evaluated. Most of the patients’ presented with vaginal bleeding, mass per vagina and white discharge. Based on histomorphology, the non-neoplastic lesions were divided into 3 categories i.e. Non-Infective NonAdaptative l...

Preganglionic cervical and splanchnic sympathetic activity was recorded before and during administration of inhalation anaesthetics, in rabbits ventilated with oxygen and given gallamine. During control periods, when light anaesthesia was maintained with pentobarbitone, sympathetic discharge responded to changes in arterial pressure. Increased arterial Pco3 exaggerated the amplitude of the resp...

Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of cisplatinum for palliative treatment of advanced cervical cancer in a resource-poor setting. Methods An observational case series is reported from a university teaching hospital in Kenya. All women presenting with advanced cervical cancer and planned for palliative cisplatinum therapy from 2010 to 2014 were included. Women were treated ...

52 Mid-cervical spinal interneurons form a complex and diffuse network and may be involved in53modulating phrenic motor output. The intent of the current work was to enable a better54understanding of mid-cervical “network level” connectivity by pairing the neurophysiological55multi-electrode array (MEA) data with histological verification of the recording locations. ...

B. Clinical Description Many infections occur without symptoms. Most males with urethral infection have symptoms of purulent or mucopurulent urethral discharge. Men may also have epididymitis due to N. gonorrhoeae. Most infections in women are asymptomatic. Symptoms in women can include abdominal pain, and mucopurulent or purulent cervical discharge. Women may also get urethritis. N. gonorrhoea...

Chemical activation of upper cervical spinal neurons modulates activity of thoracic respiratory interneurons in rats. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of chemical activation of C(1)-C(2) spinal neurons on thoracic spinal respiratory motor outflows. Electroneurograms of left phrenic (n = 23) and intercostal nerves (ICNs, n = 93) between T(3) and T(8) spinal segments were r...

Speculum examination to inspect vaginal walls, cervix, and characteristics of discharge. Although not mandatory, vaginal pH can be checked by using a swab to collect discharge from the lateral vaginal wall and rubbing on to narrow range pH paper. This can help discriminate between bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, and candidiasis. Take endocervical swabs if there is risk of sexually transmit...

Vaginal anaerobic infection is the most common cause of vaginal discharge in women. We present a case of recurrent vaginal anaerobic infection and cervical carcinoma and discuss the association of the two conditions. More frequent cytology/colposcopy may be indicated in women who give a history of recurrent or persistent vaginal anaerobic infection.

Spondylotic degeneration can manifest as tandem (concurrent) cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis. The primary manifestations include neurogenic claudication, gait disturbance and a mixture of findings of myelopathy and polyradiculopathy in both the upper and lower extremities. The purpose of this retrospective study was to report the existence and management of tandem (concurrent) cervical and ...

We compared the diagnostic value of an enzyme immunoassay method for detection of gonococcal antigen in genital secretions with culture results and direct Gram stain for Neisseria gonorrhoeae in 1,171 men and 723 women attending a sexually transmitted disease clinic. When compared with culture results in men, the immunoassay provided a sensitivity of 94% and a specificity of 98% and was essenti...
