Ichthyosis uteri is an exceedingly rare condition in which the entire surface of the endometrium is replaced by stratified squamous epithelium. Originally described as an endometrial response to iatrogenically-introduced caustic substances, similar changes have since been described in association with a variety of inflammatory conditions of the endometrium. We describe herein a heretofore undes...

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer prevention is performed by taking Pap smears. The correct execution of the smear is crucial as an inadequate smear might result in underdiagnosis.

We investigated whether the application of acetic acid compromises the Pap sme...

In view of the rarity and the limited knowledge of this group of neoplasms, details of the clinical history, the histological appearances, and the histochemical reactions are presented. An attempt is made to define the histogenesis of the tumour and some points on nonmenclature are ...

Although such an approach is imperfect, the...

The present study was conducted to determine the normal bacterial flora of the uterus, cervix and vagina. For this purpose, a total of forty-five reproductive tracts were examined.

In addition, nine ewes which had been culled fr...
