Transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy for diagnosis of tubal infertility.

Objective: Infertility problem affects more than 70 million couples worldwide, 5-15% of which are couples in their reproductive age. Less and less invasive endoscopic methods like transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy have been developed by technological progress. This method enables not only precise identification, but is now increasingly used for treatment of tubal and peritoneal factor pathology, which cause approximately 35 per cent of female infertility.

Comparative analysis of placental vasculature and placental volume in normal and IUGR pregnancies with the use of three-dimensional Power Doppler.

Objectives: To evaluate the differences in placental vascular indices and placental volume between normal and IUGR pregnancies.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted on a group of 100 normal and 20 IUGR pregnancies between 22 and 42 weeks of gestation. For the purpose of evaluation of placental volume and placental vascular indices, we applied 3D Power Doppler and VOCAL technique.

Umbilical cord morphology in pregnancies complicated by IUGR in cases of tobacco smoking and pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the characteristic features of the umbilical cord morphology in selected cases of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR): tobacco smoking, pregnancy-induced hypertension and idiopathic IUGR.

Materials And Methods: 136 pregnant women were included in the study - 86 patients with IUGR (IUGR group) and 50 women with uncomplicated course of pregnancy (control group). In the IUGR group 31 women were smokers, 27 suffered from pregnancy-induced hypertension, and 28 had an unknown reason for IUGR.

Pregnancy coexisting with a uterine abscess in a double uterus: a case report and review of literature.

A 20 year old primigravida with a double uterus was admitted with a viable fetus in the right uterus and pus oozing from the left one. Management consisted of a regimen of intravenous antibiotics and intravaginal antibiotic tablets. Tocolysis was used to arrest imminent preterm labor.

[Ultrasonographic analysis of cesarean scars features in nonpregnant uterus].

Objectives: To define and assess the new ultrasonographic parameters of cesarean hysterotomy scars and to analyze their variation depending on the number of cesarean sections.

Material And Methods: Transvaginal ultrasound was carried out among 109 patients after cesarean section in the lower uterine segment with single-layer uterine closure. The following cesarean hysterectomy scar parameters were assessed: angle of the apex (K), basis (P) and height (W) of the anechoic triangle, the thickness of the knit tissue scar segment (G), G/P index and G/W index.

[Ultrasonographic morphometry of the umbilical cord during physiological and pathological pregnancy].

Objectives: To evaluate the relation among the ultrasonographic, morphometric parameters of the umbilical cord during physiological and pathological pregnancy.

Design: Ultrasonographic morphometric parameters were prospectively evaluated in 29 consecutive cases of physiological and 42 cases of pathological pregnancies.

Materials And Methods: 71-ultrasonographic examinations was performed between 28-40 weeks of gestation.

[Use of color Doppler technique and estimation of CA 125 amd TPA levels in blood serum for the diagnosis of adnexal masses].

Objective: The purpose of the study was to compare usefulness of color doppler technique and measurements of Ca 125 and TPA levels in differential diagnosis of adnexal masses.

Material And Methods: 122 patients admitted and diagnosed due to presence of adnexal masses. Transvaginal scans with color doppler technique were performed Ca 125 and TPA levels in blood serum were measured.
