Arteriovenous malformations of the uterus.

30 Aug 2009 Arterial venous malformations (AVM) of the uterus are uncommon entities and should be considered in patients who present with profuse genital bleeding. There are two types of uterine AVM: acquired and congenital. Acquired uterine AVMs are conformed ... Read more...

The effects of copper contraceptive intrauterine device on the uterine blood flow: A prospective transvaginal Doppler study.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: To evaluate the hemodynamic changes by transvaginal color Doppler sonography (CDS) in the uterine vascular bed after the insertion of a contraceptive intrauterine device (CIUD) and to investigate whether those CDS findings could predict ... Read more...

Analysis of placenta vascularization in patients with uterine altered artery Doppler flow velocity exams.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: One of the frequent questions in obstetric practice is to determine placental vascular changes that may account for abnormal Doppler flow velocity alterations in maternal uterine vessels from women and fetuses without pregnancy ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Uterus'

Definition: The hollow thick-walled muscular organ in the female PELVIS. It consists of the fundus (the body) which is the site of EMBRYO IMPLANTATION and FETAL DEVELOPMENT. Beyond the isthmus at the perineal end of fundus, is CERVIX UTERI (the neck) opening into VAGINA. Beyond the isthmi at the upper abdominal end of fundus, are the FALLOPIAN TUBES.
