salpingitis/edema

Fallopian tube tissue obtained at Pomeroy sterilization of 75 normally cycling women, 75 women 2 to 3 days postpartum, and 75 asymptomatic women who had used a nonmedicated IUD for at least a year was examined histologically. There was an increased frequency of tissue edema and congestion in the

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to validate the standard minimal clinical criteria and the laparoscopic triad of tubal edema, erythema, and purulent exudate used to diagnose acute upper genital tract infection. METHODS Subjects included women who either met the Centers for Disease Control

The clinical significance of decidual changes and inflammation in Fallopian tubes of women undergoing sterilization shortly after the delivery was assessed microscopically in 133 resected specimens. Thirteen excision specimens obtained from non pregnant patients served as controls. Foci of ectopic

The effects of repeated cervical infections followed by a single direct tubal inoculation with Chlamydia trachomatis, serovars D and F, were examined in 11 pig-tailed macaques to test the hypothesis that tubal inoculation after cervical priming causes a more severe disease than primary tubal

OBJECTIVE Clinicopathological study of eleven cases of carcinoma of the fallopian tube to understanding possible risk factors for therapeutic failure. METHODS The study group consisted of 11 cases of primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube treated in our Department over 25-year period. Clinical and

Between January 1997 and March 1998, 11 cases of H7N2 avian influenza (nonpathogenic) were diagnosed at the Laboratory of Avian Medicine and Pathology, Kenneth Square, PA. These cases involved either commercial leghorn laying hens or leghorn pullets raised in Pennsylvania. Grossly and

OBJECTIVE From a review of 20 cases of primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube, we stress the various clinical aspects of the disease and discuss the possibilities of a preoperative diagnosis. METHODS A retrospective study covering the period between 1982 and 1996. An analysis of the different

Junctions between different types of epithelia are hot spots for carcinogenesis, but the junction of the peritoneal mesothelium with the fallopian tubal epithelium, the tubal-peritoneal junction, has not been characterized earlier. A total of 613 junctional foci in 228 fallopian tube specimens from

The authors analyzed 600 patients with uterine leiomyoma examined at the Escola Paulista de Medicina and submitted to surgical treatment between 1976 and 1987. The uteri were carefully studied and leiomyomas were confirmed. Other diseases were also found in 71.17% of the cases. Uteri from

Amyloidosis was diagnosed in 6 Holstein cows that were examined because of chronic intractable diarrhea. Besides diarrhea, the chief finding was a nephrotic-like syndrome, in that there was edema, hypoproteinemia, and proteinuria. Other consistent clinicopathologic abnormalities were

Between February 2000 and February 2002, the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System diagnosed 26 cases of low-pathogenic H6N2 avian influenza from 12 commercial egg-laying farms. The most common gross and histologic lesions observed in infected chickens were fibrinous yolk

The present study describes an experimental infection model for avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC)-induced egg peritonitis in layer chickens. First, a pilot study which consisted of two separate experiments was carried out to compare two routes of inoculations of APEC to induce peritonitis and
