Transvaginal ultrasound (TV-US) is widely used for the initial evaluation of gynecological pathology due to its high sensitivity, affordability and absence radiation. Sometimes other pathologies from urinary gastrointestinal tract such as colorectal cancer (RCC), can be found. In our case a 59-year-old female patient, with past medical history breast in 2015, currently on Tamoxifen, right oopho...

detection of lymph nodes (lns) involvement by various pathological processes has great therapeutic and prognostic implications. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness and accuracy of triplex sonography (gray scale, color mapping and spectral doppler) in differentiating benign from malignant cervical lns. we used triplex sonography to evaluate 120 lns in 50 patients. the gray s...

We report a new entity of prominent decidual vasculature overlying the internal cervical os which caused life-threatening antepartum uterine bleeding in a rhesus (Rh) D-negative patient at 32(+5) weeks' gestation. Cesarean hysterectomy was performed because of diffuse placenta increta. Early hospitalization, advanced preparation for emergency cesarean section, and timely blood transfusion, incl...

Hysteroscopy and uterine curettage are required in cases of atypical hyperplasia in premenopause and in all cases of hyperplasia with/without atypia in postmenopausal women. Biopsic curettage is the method of choice in the diagnosis of endometrial pathology. Transvaginal ultrasound and Doppler examination are useful in assessing the risk of endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer in postm...

conclusion following splenectomy, thrombocytosis can predispose the patients to an increase in cerebral blood velocities more than respected with anemia. but by transcranial doppler ultrasonography no evidence of significant stenosis were found in intracerebral arteries to conclude that the beta-thalassemia major patients were more prone to the development of stroke secondary to this abnormalit...

Transvaginal colour and angio Doppler blood flow analysis combined with serial measurement of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) concentration is reported here for the first time to study the local vascularity of a cornual pregnancy and to monitor the effectiveness of medical therapy. Interestingly, a strong relationship between morphological changes of trophoblastic tissue and the intensity o...

In 30 normal women with a singleton pregnancy, transvaginal Doppler ultrasound was used to record flow velocity at the fetal atrioventricular (AV) valve and outflow tract levels (ascending aorta and pulmonary artery) at 11 to 13 weeks of gestation. Technically acceptable flow velocity waveforms were recorded at the AV valve level in 19 fetuses and in the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery in ...

 ABSTRACT Background: To compare pregnancy outcomes in women at risk for cervical incompetence after elective versus ultrasound- indicated cerclage. Methods: In a prospective randomized tlial, singleton pregnancies with at least one previous spontaneous midtrimester loss or early preterm delivery (between 15 and 32 weeks' gestation) who met clinical crite1ia for the diagnosis of cervical incomp...
