Phyllodes tumour of the labia minora.

A 33-year-old woman presented for a preoperative examination prior to an upcoming operative hysteroscopy. During the examination, a firm 1 cm mass in her right labia minora was noted. The mass was excised in the operating room without difficulty.

The human tubal lavage proteome reveals biological processes that may govern the pathology of hydrosalpinx.

Hydrosalpinx, the blockage of fallopian tubes, can result from pelvic inflammatory disease. Hydrosalpinx is a cause of infertility and negatively impacts in vitro fertilization. To better understand the pathobiology of hydrosalpinx, we compared the proteome of lavages from disease vs.

Conversion to IUI versus continuance with IVF in low responder patients: A systematic review.

Poor response to ovarian hyper-stimulation can be difficult to predict prior to stimulation even when factoring in patient age and ovarian reserve testing. When faced with the situation of poor response, patients and providers have the difficult decision to proceed with oocyte retrieval, convert to intrauterine insemination (IUI), or cancel the cycle. Although this is not an uncommon scenario, there is little data available to assist with the counseling of these patients.

In vivo imaging of human colon cancer xenografts in immunodeficient mice using a guanylyl cyclase C--specific ligand.

Unlabelled: Guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) is a transmembrane receptor expressed by human intestinal cells and primary and metastatic colorectal adenocarcinomas but not by extraintestinal tissues or tumors. The Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin analog, STa (5--18), is a 14--amino acid peptide that selectively binds to the extracellular domain of GC-C with subnanomolar affinity. This study examined the utility of a radiolabeled conjugate of STa (5--18) to selectively target and image extraintestinal human colon cancer xenografts in vivo in nude mice.
