Background Effects of GCSF (Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor) injection in patients suffering from recurrent pregnancy loss has been studied in some studies and we now know that transvaginal perfusion of G-CSF might be helpful for improvement of implantation rate among patients with thin endometrium and patients under in vitro fertilization /embryo transfer (IVF/ET) or intracytoplasmic spe...

OBJECTIVE To report on a case of heterotopic triplet pregnancy after in utero transfer of three embryos obtained by in vitro fertilization (IVF), with progression of the intrauterine twin pregnancy after resection of the cornual pregnancy. DESIGN Technique and instrumentation. SETTING Département de Médecine de la Reproduction, Hôpital Edouard Herriot, Lyon, France. PATIENTS A 32-year-old...

OBJECTIVES To characterize maternal and fetal nitric oxide (NO) production in normal and abnormal pregnancy by measuring nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) metabolites in maternal venous blood, umbilical venous and arterial blood and amniotic fluid. METHODS This was a prospective cross-sectional study in 160 singleton pregnancies: 60 with one complication (infection, n = 37; gestational diabet...

The coexistence of intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancy, the heterotopic pregnancy, is a rare obstetric phenomenon. The preoperative diagnosis of this condition is very difficult; leading to a higher maternal morbidity and fetal loss. We experienced a case of intrauterine pregnancy and ruptured abdominal pregnancy implanted on the illeocaecal region in a 26-year-old primiparous woman. She wa...

OBJECTIVE To establish predictive factors for positive pregnancy outcome in cases of controlled ovarian stimulation and intrauterine insemination. METHODS The retrospective study was conducted at Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital and comprised subjects having undergone ovulation induction cycles and intrauterine insemination between June 2010 and June 2015. Data was analys...

Tubal sterilization is a widely used permanent contraceptive method for women who had completed their desired childbearing. If a pregnancy occurs after tubal sterilization, it is expected to be ectopic in most of the cases. However encountering an intrauterine pregnancy after Pomeroy tubal sterilization is extremely rare. A second time intrauterine pregnancy occured in a 34-year-old woman who h...

STUDY OBJECTIVE We seek to assess the performance of the β human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) "discriminatory zone" when using bedside pelvic ultrasonography in the evaluation of symptomatic pregnant emergency department (ED) patients. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of bedside pelvic ultrasonography performed on consecutive pregnant patients in the first trimester who presented to...

Our purpose was to visualize normal embryonal surface anatomic structures using three-dimensional (3D) intrauterine sonography with a 20 MHz flexible catheter-based high-resolution real-time miniature transducer in the early first trimester of pregnancy. A total of 15 women about to undergo therapeutic abortion at 7-9.9 weeks gestational age were studied by means of 3D intrauterine sonography w...

BACKGROUND Heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy is a cesarean scar pregnancy combined with an intrauterine pregnancy that predisposes a woman to life-threatening complications such as uterine rupture and massive bleeding. Preservation of the intrauterine pregnancy in heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy is a great challenge. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 33-year-old woman with heterot...
