A combination of selective PDE4 inhibitors and β(2) -agonists should be considered for the treatment of preterm contractions.

Women with a remnant uterine septum have an increased chance of successful pregnancy with an improved obstetric outcome after normalization of the uterine cavity.

Our results show that IFN‐γ is a key cytokine that primes epithelial cells to activate adaptive and innate immunity and to express antichlamydial effector genes both intracellularly and extracellularly.

The action of nifedipine in delaying labor is impeded by progesterone. A combination of nifedipine and β(2)-agonists should be considered for the treatment or prevention of preterm birth.

We assume that the alpha(1A)-AR predominance plays a crucial role in embryonic implantation in the rat.

The past decades have brought about numerous new methods in the treatment of the most frequent benign gynaecological tumour, the myoma, while at the same time, the indications of traditional surgical treatment have also been reassessed. The constant procrastination of pregnancy to older and older age, the frequency of myoma growing by age and the wider application of assisted reproduction techniques have created new conditions for the treatment of myoma. In our research, we analysed the data of 30 infertile patients out of a group of 99 who had hysteroscopic and laparoscopic myomectomy carried out in one session. In the course of 2 years, nine women got pregnant. Besides two miscarriages, the others could carry their pregnancy for at least 34 weeks. Out of the seven deliveries, five (71%) ended with caesarean section, for obstetrical reasons in all cases. In case of uterus with multiplex myoma, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy can safely be applied in parallel and it does not necessarily imply the termination of the occurring pregnancy by caesarean section.
