Transmyometrial embryo transfer and junctional zone contractions [PDF]
Human Reproduction, 2002 Embryo transfer is a crucial step in IVF-embryo transfer cycles. Several studies have explored transmyometrial embryo transfer, but although this procedure has several favourable characteristics, its role in assisted reproduction has not yet been established.

Considering the esophagogastric junction as a ‘zone’ [PDF]
Digestive Endoscopy, 2017 Siewert's classification of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) classifies tumors anatomically for determining the appropriate surgical technique. According to this classification, a type II tumor, true carcinoma of the cardia, is defined as a cancer within 1 cm proximal to 2 cm distal of the EGJ.

Embryo transfer and uterine junctional zone contractions. VIDEO [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 1999 Embryo transfer is one of the most critical steps affecting the success rate of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and has changed little since IVF was first described (Steptoe and Edwards 1978). While there is general agreement that a smooth embryo transfer is associated more frequently with successful outcome (Wood et al., 1985; Mansour et al., l990 ...

Loss and reappearance of gap junctions in regenerating liver [PDF]
, 1978 Changes in intercellular junctional morphology associated with rat liver regeneration were examined in a freeze-fracture study. After a two-thirds partial hepatectomy, both gap junctions and zonulae occludentes were drastically altered.

Loss of maternal annexin A5 increases the likelihood of placental platelet thrombosis and foetal loss [PDF]
, 2012 Antiphospholipid syndrome is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis and pregnancy loss. Annexin A5 (Anxa5) is a candidate autoantigen. It is not known, however, whether endogenous Anxa5 prevents foetal loss during normal pregnancy.

Uterine junctional zone contractions during assisted reproduction cycles. VIDEO [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 1998 This study was designed to assess junctional zone contractions (JZ) during cycles of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer in oocyte donors exposed to a long protocol regime for ovarian stimulation. Real-time transvaginal ultrasound and advanced audio-visual and computer technology were used to evaluate the contraction pattern, frequency and

Recessive mutation in tetraspanin CD151 causes Kindler syndrome-like epidermolysis bullosa with multi-systemic manifestations including nephropathy [PDF]
, 2018 Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is caused by mutations in as many as 19 distinct genes. We have developed a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel targeting genes known to be mutated in skin fragility disorders, including tetraspanin CD151 expressed in ...
