Interstitial pregnancy complicated by rectal bleeding

Article Abstract:

Undiagnosed tubal pregnancies may rupture into the bowel and cause rectal bleeding in rare cases. A 36-year-old woman was hospitalized with a one-month history of right lower back pain, and was found to have blood in her stool. A pelvic mass could be felt, but ultrasonography did not detect a pregnancy. Loss of blood from the small bowel necessitated blood transfusions. Part of the bowel was attached to the uterus. Results of the hysterectomy and removal of part of the small bowel revealed old placental tissue and fetal skull bones from a tubal pregnancy.

Triage of abnormal postmenopausal bleeding: a comparison of endometrial biopsy and transvaginal sonohysterography versus fractional curettage with hysteroscopy

Article Abstract:

Endometrial biopsy and transvaginal ultrasound imaging may be effective in detecting benign causes of postmenopausal uterine bleeding. Researchers used this technique on 104 postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding and compared the results with hysteroscopy and fractional curettage. The latter technique involves surgery, which can raise the cost of diagnosing these women. Endometrial biopsy and transvaginal ultrasound confirmed the results of surgery 95% of the time.

Positive cone biopsy specimen margins in women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus

Article Abstract:

HIV-infected women with cervical dysplasia may require more aggressive surgical treatment than non-infected women, according to a study of 245 women who received cone biopsy for this precancerous condition. Cone biopsy is a relatively mild treatment but it was only effective in 52% of the HIV-infected women compared to 67% of the non-infected women.
