Background: Size of fourth ventricle varies in different pathologies, the context enlarged brain ventricles size observed routine clinical practices, knowledge usual range exact measurement is required. Aims and Objectives: This study hospital-based observational to derive normal correlating it with measurements cerebrum age patients. Materials Methods: Hospital-based prospective was conducted ...

PURPOSE To investigate the variability of the normal-sized fetal renal pelvis (≤5 mm) over time and to analyze repeatability of measurements. MATERIALS AND METHODS 98 fetal renal pelvises and 49 fetal urinary bladders were analyzed at a gestational age of 17-20 weeks at St. Olavs Hospital, Trondheim, Norway. The anterior-posterior diameter (APD) of the fetal renal pelvis and two diameters of ...

aim and background:   one of interventional procedure in pain specialty is stellate ganglion block. in this study we tried to show more on the sonoanatomy of the area, including the diameter of longus coli muscle and the distance between sixth cervical transverse process and the surface of skin. obviously, understanding different anatomical locations can help to more successful block and avoid ...

following failure of systemic chemotherapy, transarterial chemoembolization (tace) is an available method to control unresectable liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma (crc). the aim of present study was to evaluate the efficacy of chemoembolization for inoperable metastatic liver lesions from crc. forty-five crc patients with liver metastases resistant to systemic chemotherapy were enroll...

conclusions the severity of pathological changes in renal parenchyma, due to upjo, is a good predictor of renal function recoverability, after pyeloplasty. the orus, with drf > 35%, usually have normal (grade i) renal biopsy and might be expected to present better functional recoverability after pyeloplasty. results this study showed a linear relationship between the severity of histological ch...

AIMS The current study aims to assess the role of ultrasound (US) parameters in explaining the variance of hydronephrosis grades in reno-urinary anomalies, as well as their performance in quantifying the incidence of patients with uropathies. METHODS In this study 196 patients were prospectively included. All of them had renal/urinary tract anomalies and were recruited from 5992 US examined h...

In order to evaluate the reliability of radiological parameters, we retrospectively reviewed the anteroposterior pelvic x-rays of 30 hips in 15 patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip. The following parameters were studied: acetabular index, center-edge angle, c/b ratio, Sharp's angle and teardrop figure. Each of the two authors measured the parameters twice on two separate days. Stati...
