Clinical and Sonographic Findings in Suspected Retained Trophoblast: Correlation with Histological Findings.

Background: Different clinical and sonographic parameters have been suggested to identify patients with retained products of conception. In suspected cases, the main treatment is hysteroscopic removal.

Objectives: To compare clinical, sonographic, and intraoperative findings in cases of hysteroscopy for retained products of conception, according to histology.

Ultrasound Nomograms of the Fetal Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter.

Objective:  To construct prenatal age-specific reference intervals for sonographic measurements of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) during gestation in normal fetuses.

Materials And Methods:  Prospective cross-sectional study of fetuses assessed in antenatal ultrasound units between 2010 and 2014. The examination was based on a technique for the sonographic assessment of ONSD previously published by our group.

Different routes of misoprostol for cervical priming in first trimester surgical abortions: a randomized blind trial.

Purpose: To compare effectiveness and patient satisfaction of different routes of misoprostol for short-term (same day) cervical priming in first trimester surgical abortions.

Methods: In a blind randomized trial, patients undergoing surgical abortion at a gestational age of 6 + 0-14 + 6 were administered oral, vaginal, or sub-lingual 400 mcg misoprostol, 1.5 to 4 h prior to procedure.

Different Routes of Misoprostol for Same-Day Cervical Priming Prior to Operative Hysteroscopy: A Randomized Blinded Trial.

Study Objective: To compare the effectiveness of and patient satisfaction with different routes of misoprostol administration for short-term cervical priming before operative hysteroscopy.

Design: Randomized blinded trial (Canadian Task Force classification I).

Setting: University hospital.

The effects of maternal smoking on pregnancy outcome and placental histopathology lesions.

Objective: To study the effects of maternal smoking on pregnancy outcome and placental histopathology findings.

Materials & Methods: Maternal and labor characteristics and pathological reports were compared between term placentas of complicated and uncomplicated pregnancies of: heavy smokers (>10 cigarettes per day, H-smokers), moderate smokers (<10 cigarettes per day, M-smokers) and non-smokers (controls, N-smokers).

Results: Birth-weights were lower in the H-smokers and M-smokers as compared to the N-smokers (p<0.

Ovarian Pregnancy Following in Vitro Fertilization in a Woman After Bilateral Salpingectomy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

We present a rare case of ovarian pregnancy that occurred in a woman who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) after bilateral salpingectomy. The patient presented with abdominal pain and a positive pregnancy test. Ovarian pregnancy was diagnosed owing to a suspicious mass detected on ultrasound.

The optimal cutoff serum level of human chorionic gonadotropin for efficacy of methotrexate treatment in women with extrauterine pregnancy.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of methotrexate treatment for extrauterine pregnancy and define criteria for prediction of success.

Methods: Of 829 patients with an ectopic pregnancy admitted to E. Wolfson Medical Center, Holon, Israel, from January 1997 through December 2009, 238 had asymptomatic tubal pregnancies and increasing serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG) levels.
