AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to detect changes in endometrial volume during conception cycles using three-dimensional ultrasound imaging.
- After embryo transfer, ultrasounds were performed on average on days 22 and 28 of the cycle, with 63 of 78 participants completing the study.
- Results indicated significant differences in endometrial volume and measurements between pregnant and non-pregnant groups, highlighting the effectiveness of ultrasound in tracking endometrial changes related to successful conception.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To detect the endometrial volume change in conception cycles. Additionally we measured endometrium in three planes, to see if the hypothesized endometrial volume differences will be detectable by this surrogate technique.
Methods: Following the embryo transfer, a three-dimensional ultrasound exam was performed on average days 22 and 28 of the cycle.
Results: Seventy-eight subjects signed the informed consent form, and 63 completed the study. A significant difference was observed between Visit 1 and Visit 2, for endometrial volume, thickness, length and width in the pregnant group, and for endometrial volume, thickness and width in the non-pregnant group.
Conclusions: In this study we have shown that in normal intrauterine pregnancy after IVF/ET, prominent endometrial volume growth can be detected by a three-dimensional ultrasound over the course of several days. Moreover, in patients who did not conceive in a particular cycle, a decrease in endometrial volume can be seen.

Background: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic single-site hysterectomy is popular among patients and surgeons due to good cosmetic outcomes and fast recovery. However, questions remain such as loss of triangulation and instrument collision. Our aim is to test the feasibility and safety of a purpose-designed single-site robotic surgical platform mainly in hysterectomies.

: The objective of this study is to prospectively collect dosimetric and clinical data on vaginal cuff electronic brachytherapy and propose a protocol for the procedure. Twenty-five patients who had proven endometrial or cervical carcinoma and had undergone radical hysterectomy have been treated with vaginal cuff electronic brachytherapy. Treatment session durations and doses to the targets and the organs at risk have been extracted from the treatment planning software.

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an important factor contributing to infertility in reproductive-aged women. Hyperandrogenism (HA) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. This study was conducted to explore the follicular development and endometrial receptivity of different androgen phenotypes in reproductive-aged patients with PCOS.

Purpose: To explore the value of quantitative imaging parameters by enhanced T weighted angiography (ESWAN) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) for evaluating the expression of Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in endometrial carcinoma (EC).
Methods: Data from 122 patients with EC confirmed by clinical pathology were retrospectively analyzed. According to the number of positive cells stained with HIF-1α by immunohistochemistry, patients were divided into two groups: 65 cases with high expression of HIF-1α and 57 cases with low expression of HIF-1α.
