Intrauterine manipulation does not adversely influence the direction and frequency of endometrial waves.

Objective: To investigate whether intrauterine manipulation affects the direction or alters the frequency of endometrial wavelike activity.

Design: Prospective observational study.

Setting: University hospital-based fertility clinic.

Complex endometrial wave-patterns in IVF.

Objective: To reanalyze ultrasound images from IVF cycles with the aim of developing a refined endometrial wave classification system, which will allow description as well of the more complex endometrial wave patterns.

Design: Descriptive study.

Setting: University hospital-based fertility clinic.

Midline intravaginal slingplasty for treatment of urinary stress incontinence: results of an independent audit up to 2 years after surgery.

Recently, the midline intravaginal slingplasty (anterior IVS) directed at reinforcing the pubourethral ligament was introduced for treatment of urinary stress incontinence. An independent telephone interview to evaluate urinary symptoms and surgery-related changes in quality of life was performed between 12 and 32 months after surgery. Of 52 women initially enrolled, 3 were lost during follow-up.

Endometrial waves in in vitro fertilization cycles: a validation study.

In a prospective validation study we could not confirm that the persistence of endometrial waves from fundus to cervix on the day of hCG administration is associated with a favorable pregnancy prognosis in patients undergoing IVF.
