Background Fetal growth restriction is the second leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. The incidence of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is estimated to be approximately 5 percent in the general obstetric population. Abnormal uterine artery suggest a maternal cause for the growth restriction where as normal uterine artery Doppler studies suggest that a fetal cause. Use of u...

PURPOSE By acutely enhancing the arterial leg inflow, intermittent pneumatic leg compression (IPC) improves the walking ability, arterial hemodynamics, and quality of life of claudicants. We quantified the duration of acute leg inflow enhancement with IPC of the foot (IPC(foot)), calf (IPC(calf)), or both (IPC(foot+calf)) and its amplitude decay in claudicants and controls in relation to the pu...

Methods The study included 43 patients with isolated and combined sTBI and Glasgow Coma Scale on admission 8 or less (age 32.4 ± 10.8 years, men/ women 36/7). Severe brain contusion was diagnosed in all patients. Emergency surgery was required in 20 patients. All patients received decompressive craniotomy with intracranial hematoma or contusion foci removal. Transcranial duplex investigation wa...

OBJECTIVES Our purpose was to investigate cervical lymphadenopathies by using color Doppler spectral analysis and power Doppler ultrasonography methods as well as B-mode ultrasound and to classify them as malignant or benign lesions and to compare the results with the histopathological findings. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-nine lymph nodes of 69 patients were evaluated with color and power Dop...
