Objective: To explore the causes and treatment outcomes of intrauterine adhesions among Thai women.
Material And Method: This retrospective cross-sectional study recorded and analyzed the demographic data, causes, and treatment outcomes of 75 patients who underwent hysteroscopic adhesiolysis between January 2004 and June 2015 at Maharaj Nakhon Chiang Mai Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Results: The most common etiology of intrauterine adhesions was a history of early pregnancy termination by curettage (68%). Sixty-nine percent of the patients had menstrual abnormalities. Twenty-two percent of the patients had severe adhesions. Tuberculous endometritis caused the most severe case. Sharp hysteroscopic adhesiolysis improved the condition in 77.7% of the patients. The outcomes of the patients with mild to moderate IUA were better than those with severe intrauterine adhesions (88.2% vs. 43.8%, respectively) (p = 0.001). Fifty-one patients planned to conceive, and 49% succeeded after hysteroscopic surgery.
Conclusion: Menstrual abnormalities were the most common presentation of intrauterine adhesions. The most common cause of intrauterine adhesions was early pregnancy termination by curettage. However, tuberculosis endometritis caused the most severe case. Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis significantly improves menstrual function and fertility outcomes; mild to moderate cases have a better prognosis.

Study Objective: To study the inter-rater reliability of an electronic complementary uterine diagram (eAFS) in comparison to the conventional American Fertility Society intrauterine adhesions (IUA) scoring system (cAFS). As a secondary aim we wanted to assess the intra-rater reliability of these tools.
Design: This was an observational cross over study with a nested test re-test design.

Litter size in pigs is affected by factors such as ovulation number, embryonic survival, and uterine environment conditions. Endometrial epithelial and stromal cells represent the first site of contact between the embryo and sows; therefore, dynamic changes in the growth and development of these cells are among the major factors affecting the intrauterine environment and implantation. Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type-1B (BMPR1B) is a receptor of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family that has been identified as a candidate gene for reproductive traits in pigs.

Background: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a common cause of clinically refractory infertility, and there exists significant heterogeneity in the treatment outcomes among IUA patients with the similar severity after transcervical resection of adhesion(TCRA). The underlying mechanism of different treatment outcomes occur remains elusive, and the precise contribution of various cell subtypes in this process remains uncertain.
Results: Here, we performed single-cell transcriptome sequencing on 10 human endometrial samples to establish a single-cell atlas differences between patients who responded to estrogen therapy and those who did not.

Background: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA), resulting from uterine trauma, is one of the major causes of female infertility. Previous studies have demonstrated that endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSC) have therapeutic effects on IUA through cellular secretions. It is particularly true for most of the pre-clinical experiments performed on multiple animal models, as human-derived eMSC cannot maintain long-term engraftment in animals.
