The purpose of this guideline is to review the literature regarding septate uterus and determine optimal indications andmethods of treatment for it. Septate uterus has been associated with an increase in the risk of miscarriage, premature delivery, and malpresentation; however, there is insufficient evidence that a uterine septum is associated with infertility. Several studies indicate that tre...

The addition of small amounts of estradiol-17/3 stimulates oxygen consumption and the oxidation of certain substrates by tissue slices of human endometrium and placenta (3, 4). The estrogen sensitive reaction was shown to be mediated by an enzyme in the nonparticulate fraction of the cell (5) which carries out a transhydrogenation reaction (6, 7). Extensive investigation and purification of thi...

Patient A was a 30-year-old white woman with a longstanding history of primary amenorrhea and infertility. By age 18 the patient had neither menstruated nor demonstrated evidence of normal breast development. At that time she was given oral contraceptives for four cycles and responded with normal vaginal bleeding. Laboratory evaluation at age 18 demonstrated a serum FSH (follicle-stimulating ho...

objective: : polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is one of the most common hormonal disorders that can lead to irregular menstrual cycles and hyperandrogenism. reduced levels of progesterone and increased estrogen in these women can perpetually stimulate the endometrial tissue of the uterus. in this study, the effect of pcos induction was studied using estradiol valerate. materials and methods: ad...

The uterus is formed during embryogenesis by the fusion of the two paramesonephric ducts (also called mullerian ducts). This process usually fuses the two mullerian ducts into a single uterine body. Incomplete fusion of the mullerian ducts results in uterine malformation like uterus didelphus, uterus bicornis bicollis, uterus bicornis unicollis, uterus subseptate, uterus arcuate, and uterus uni...

Evidence for extra-hypothalamic expression of kisspeptinergic system is emerging. The present study documents the imuunolocalization kisspeptin and its receptor in placentome buffalo. Gravid uterus was collected from abattoir gestational age estimated by crown-rump length fetus. A section containing caruncle cotyledon used immunohistochemistry. Kp evident feto-maternal junctions with prominent ...

INTRODUCTION Brucellosis is endemic in Nigeria and risk factors enhancing its transmission are prevalent. METHODS Following serological evidence of brucellosis and isolation of B. abortus from slaughtered cattle in Ibadan, Nigeria, we administered a semi-structured questionnaire to determine the prevalence and predictors of eating and selling bovine gravid uterus among 350 meat handlers from ...

A kinetic procedure, based on differences in affinity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) subunits for L(+)-lactate, was employed to measure the M and H subunit activities of this enzyme in a variety of normal and neoplastic tissues of the rat. Total LDH activity was highest in liver (both normal and regenerating) at about 150 units per gm fresh tissue and somewhat lower in heart and femoral muscle ...
