Patients with GA more than 20 weeks detected with pregnancy‑induced hypertension (PIH) and/or diabetes mellitus (DM) and/or intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and/or hydrops fetalis and/or congenital malformation were excluded from the study. Twin pregnancy of any gestation was excluded from the study. The PT was measured at the level of insertion of the cord and the values thus measured in millimeters was correlated with GA as ascertained vis a vis the LMP. GA and PT were represented as mean and standard deviation. Correlation between them was evaluated using Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient. Results: The study showed a positive correlation between GA and PT. PT in millimeter accurately matched the GA in weeks from 14 to 21 weeks of gestation after which it was seen to be lesser than GA by 1-4 mm.

One of the major reasons for an excess endogenous estrogen production is estrogen secreting ovarian lesions which could either be neoplastic or non-neoplastic. Aims: This was a study done to evaluate and correlate presence of ovarian lesions in uterus harboring endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial carcinoma. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at a referral hospital in South India over a 16-year period. Histology of ovaries were studied in panhysterectomy cases with a tissue diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial carcinoma. The data was evaluated as only percentage. Results: A total of 118 specimens revealed pathological proliferative lesion of the endometrium with endometrial hyperplasias occurring in 78 (66.1%) and endometrioid adenocarcinoma in the remaining 40 (33.9%) cases. Fifty-two cases showed lesions in ovary/ovaries. Forty-two (35.6%) of them revealed estrogen-secreting lesions in ovaries. The rest showed non-estrogen producing lesions. Follicular cyst was the predominant estrogen elaborating lesions in the ovary with 23 cases (44.2%). In 21.1% of cases, ovaries featured stromal hyperplasia and 7.7% showed granulosa cell tumor. Only one (1.9%) case of thecoma was identified. Two cases showed twin lesions with follicular cyst and stromal hyperplasia. All patients except for one were in post-menopausal age group. Conclusion: Follicular cyst was the predominant lesion associated with endometrial hyperplasia and endometrioid adenocarcinoma of endometrium in post-menopausal age group. In addition, hyperplastic lesions in endometrium can occur in non-hormonal secreting ovarian epithelial tumors possibly due to functioning stromal cells.","PeriodicalId":356195,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Basic and Clinical Reproductive Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133346273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in the developing parts of the globe, especially in Africa where uterine fibroid is most common. Although myomectomy during pregnancy is discouraged, there are situations when it becomes inevitable. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the outcome of 42 consecutive Cesarean myomectomy done under the supervision of a Sabbatical obstetrician and gynaecologist at a district hospital in Nigeria. Subjects and Methods: This was a prospective, descriptive study of all patients who underwent Cesarean Myomectomy between November 2011 and October 2012 in a Obio Cottage Hospital, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Myomectomy done at the time of Cesarean section (CS). The main outcome measures were number, location, and size of the fibroids removed, intraoperative blood loss, intra and post‑operative complications, need for blood transfusion, and length of hospital stay. Data was entered into SPSS Vs 16 software and analysed. T-test was used to compare means and fishers exact test was carry out associations on non parametric data. Level of significance was set at P<0.05. Results: Four Hundred and Fourty Six womens were delivered by Cesarean section and 42 of these had Cesarean myomectomy.
