Postpartum hemorrhage, the loss of more than 500 mL of blood after delivery, occurs in up to 18 percent of births and is the most common maternal morbidity in developed countries. Although risk factors and preventive strategies are dearly documented, not all cases are expected or avoidable. Uterine atony is responsible for most cases and can be managed with uterine massage in conjunction with o...

A nine-month-old domestic short haired cat was admitted with the history of acute vomiting, depression and shivering. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed minimum enlargement of the right uterine horn filled with anechoic fluid. On excretory urography, functionally and anatomically normal, enlarged left kidney was found, but right kidney was absent. It was preliminary diagnosed as hydrometra with...

BACKGROUND In fertility studies, it has been shown that transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) and interlukin 10 (IL-10) play very important roles in implantation, maternal immune tolerance, placentation and fetal development, and the release beginning of release for fetal and postnatal death. The present study aims to determine the effects of the postmating administration of neutralizing antibodi...

We report the case of a second gesture, second parity 42-year old patient, undergoing surgical treatment for interstitial uterine myoma. The postoperative course was marked by a skin infection associated with uterine eventration. On physical examination, the patient was febrile (39.5 °C) with evisceration of the uterus and green pus discharge from the surgical site. Laboratory tests showed a he...

Background. Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women. Clinical manifestations are well known. Acute complications necessitating emergent surgical intervention are rare. Case. We report a case of a 53-year-old woman with a history of uterine fibroids presenting with acute-onset severe abdominal pain. Imaging indicated massive free fluid and a large partially solid uterine mass. Vitals ...

Spontaneous venous rupture overlying a uterine fibroid is a rare cause of hemoperitoneum. A 38-yearold woman presented to the emergency department with acute onset of abdominal pain. The ultrasound revealed multiple fibroids and free fluid in the peritoneum. There was a significant drop of the hemoglobin and hematocrit. The patient underwent emergent exploratory laparoscopy. A subserosal uterin...

Previous investigations have proved that proteinases are involved in implantation of the rabbit embryo into the uterine tissues. This study describes a trypsin-like enzyme found in the blastocyst fluid and uterine flushings at the time of implantation. The proteinase isolated from uterine flushings has a molecular mass of about 50 kDa and exists in two differently charged forms of pI 4.0 and 4....

size of a seven months' pregnancy (Fig. 1). It consists of one large cavity, containing more than two pints of blood-stained serous fluid. The walls of this large blood-cyst show the structure of a uterine fibroid; the cavity is lined in parts with soft, yellowish-white breaking-down tissue showing the changes of perithelioma (Fig. 2). The uterine cavity extends round one-third of the tumour, h...

Saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) is the term for ultrasound imaging of the uterine cavity, using sterile saline solution as a negative contrast medium. It imitates the clarity and exquisite definition of the uterine cavity afforded by amniotic fluid during pregnancy. In principle, any clear liquid could be used to define surfaces. However, sterile saline is inexpensive, easily available ...

The diversity of the uterine bacterial composition in dairy cows is still poorly understood, although the emerging picture has shown to be increasingly complex. Understanding the complexity and ecology of microorganisms in the uterus of postpartum dairy cows is critical for developing strategies to block their action in reproductive disorders, such as metritis/endometritis. Here, we used PCR-De...
