Abstract

We reported the reproductive outcome of 28 patients with septate uterus who underwent hysteroscopic metroplasty between August 1994 and October 1999 at Ramathibodi Hospital. The majority of septa were partial. Most of the patients had recurrent pregnancy losses. Division of the septum was performed with scissors in 7, a new device of Versapoint bipolar electrode in 10, and by means of resectoscope in 11 patients. The operating time varied from 45 to 70 minutes with an average time of 50+/-5.5 minutes which included the time for laparoscopy. The blood loss during the operation was minimal. All 28 patients were discharged a few hours after the operation. There were no serious complications attributed to this study. Most of the patients had minor spotting but no significant bleeding for a few days after hysteroscopic surgery. Of the 28 patients, 4 patients have not tried to conceive because of personal reasons, and the other 5 patients were lost to follow-up. Fifteen patients who had postoperative hysterosalpingograms, demonstrated a normal uterine cavity. There were a total of 20 pregnancies after a mean period of 24+/-1.4 (range 6-42) months following hysteroscopic treatment, of which 15(75.0%) were carried to term, 3(15.0%) wer...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
