Ten patients with prior spinal cord trauma were examined preoperatively by metrizamide computed tomography (CT) and were studied subsequently by intraoperative spinal sonography. On comparing intraoperative sonography with metrizamide CT, it was found that metrizamide CT tends to overestimate the size and number of posttraumatic cysts, that areas of myelomalacia on metrizamide CT correspond to ...

Carbetocin is a long-acting synthetic agonist analogue of the human oxytocin which induces contractions. The study aims compare intravenous carbetocin clinical effect its myometrial injection decrease blood loss in myomectomy operation. Methods: This randomized controlled involved 6...

Placenta previa can be difficult to diagnose with transabdominal sonography during the third trimester of pregnancy, because of difficulties in imaging the cervix late in pregnancy. Although transperineal sonography offers an additional view of the cervix, its value in the diagnosis of placenta previa has not been studied. Accordingly, we performed transperineal sonography on 164 patients who h...

Power-based transcranial color-coded sonography and contrast-enhanced transcranial color-coded sonography are ultrasonographic techniques that allow improved visualization of vascular structures. The present study was designed to investigate and compare the diagnostic capacity and applicability of both methods in the assessment of intracranial vessels of the circle of Willis (33 patients) and t...
