[Inversio uteri is a rare but potentially lethal obstetric complication].

A case of puerperal uterine inversion is, in this case report, presented in a low risk 29-year-old para 2. After a difficult manual removal of placenta, the patient became disproportionally hypovolaemic shocked compared to blood loss. When the diagnosis was recognized, uterus was reverted, and bleeding ceased momentarily.

Aquaporin expression in the fetal porcine urinary tract changes during gestation.

The expression of aquaporins (AQPs) in the fetal porcine urinary tract and its relation to gestational age has not been established. Tissue samples from the renal pelvis, ureter, bladder and urethra were obtained from porcine fetuses. Samples were examined by RT-PCR (AQPs 1-11), QPCR (AQPs positive on RT-PCR), and immunohistochemistry.

Development of contractile properties in the fetal porcine urinary bladder.

BackgroundIn early fetal life, the bladder is merely a conduit allowing urine to pass through freely into the amniotic cavity. As the striated external urethral sphincter evolves, the bladder acquires its reservoir and voiding functions. We characterized the myogenic and neurogenic contractions of the normal fetal porcine bladder from midterm until close to full-term gestation.

A simple laser locking system based on a field-programmable gate array.

Frequency stabilization of laser light is crucial in both scientific and industrial applications. Technological developments now allow analog laser stabilization systems to be replaced with digital electronics such as field-programmable gate arrays, which have recently been utilized to develop such locking systems. We have developed a frequency stabilization system based on a field-programmable gate array, with emphasis on hardware simplicity, which offers a user-friendly alternative to commercial and previous home-built solutions.

Laparoscopic cryoablation of angiomyolipomas in adolescents and young adults: A report of four cases associated with tuberous sclerosis and 1 case of sporadic origin.

Introduction: Renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs) can be of sporadic origin or associated with tuberous sclerosis (TS). TS-associated AMLs often present in childhood, tend to be bilateral and multiple, and often exhibit a faster growth rate with an increased risk of hemorrhage. Renal cryoablation is well described in adults, whereas experiences with adolescents and young adults are limited.
