Histerosalpingography is the most commonly used technique in the evaluation of infertility. It has traditionally been considered the gold standard for assessment of Fallopian tubes giving information about their patency and morphology. It is also recommended for the study of the uterine cavity. With a good knowledge about the anatomy and the variants of the normality, and a good technique, we can do a good differential diagnosis between normality and pathology, which probably it will need more tests.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Ma Liu Shui, Hong Kong.
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the pregnancy outcomes of women di-agnosed with genital tuberculosis (GTB) who spontaneously conceived or underwent intrauterine in-semination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) after being treated with antitubercular therapy (ATT). Pub-lications from the PubMed, Medline, Embase, Ovid, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar data-bases were searched from December 20, 2021, to March 5, 2022. The outcomes are presented as pooled averages with 95% confidence intervals.

Association between antinuclear antibodies and pregnancy prognosis in recurrent pregnancy loss patients.

December 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Nagoya City University, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan.
Study Question: Can antinuclear antibodies (ANA) affect the subsequent live birth rate (LBR) in patients with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in the absence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL)?
Summary Answer: Women with unexplained RPL have a high probability of live birth following a positive pregnancy test (>70%), being similar between those with positive and negative ANA testing, regardless of the cut-off value.
What Is Known Already: The RPL guidelines of the ESHRE state that 'ANA testing can be considered for explanatory purposes'. However, there have been a limited number of studies on this issue and sample sizes have been small, and the impact of ANA on the pregnancy prognosis is unclear.
Contrast induced nephropathy in women with infertility undergoing hysterosalpingography.

Department of Cardiology, School of Medicine, Balikesir University, Balikesir, Turkey.
Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) defined as an acute kidney injury following the administration of iodinated contrast medium (CM). Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a radiologic procedure used to investigate the shape and structure of the uterine cavity and the patency of the fallopian tubes in the evaluation of infertility. To date, there have been no reports evaluating the development of CIN after HSG procedure.

Department of Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology, Medical University of Lublin, Lublin, Poland.
BACKGROUND Tubal infertility caused by proximal occlusion of fallopian tubes is a common cause of female infertility. Lipiodol (ethiodized oil) is an oil-based iodinated contrast medium, previously used in hysterosalpingography, and is now used as a therapeutic agent. This single-center study aimed to evaluate the experience of outcomes from the use of Lipiodol in 96 women with infertility due to fallopian tube occlusion.
