Saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) is the term for ultrasound imaging of the uterine cavity, using sterile saline solution as a negative contrast medium. It imitates the clarity and exquisite definition of the uterine cavity afforded by amniotic fluid during pregnancy. In principle, any clear liquid could be used to define surfaces. However, sterile saline is inexpensive, easily available ...

Sir,?I request the favour of your kindly giving place to the following in your esteemed paper : ? In an epidemic of cholera in this town I have been trying intravenous injection of hypertonic salt solution combined with permanganates internally with a fair amount of success. In some cases there were certain phenomena which I am unable to explain and I hope some of your kind readers might favour...

IN this issue of ANESTHESIOLOGY, Rozet et al. present the findings of a comprehensive study comparing two hyperosmolar agents, hypertonic saline (HS) and mannitol, for brain relaxation during craniotomy. This work calls into question whether sufficient information is now available to advocate substitution of mannitol with HS to promote brain relaxation during routine craniotomy. It was discover...

soil samples from the jakara irrigation project site were evaluated with respect to possible degradation caused by irrigation. most of the soils were neutral to alkaline with ph values ranging between 6.58 + 0.04 and 10.45 + 0.03. the electrical conductivity ranged from 0.3 + 0.01 to 75.2 + 0.06 dsm-1 which implies low to very high salinity. the concentrations of the exchangeable cations in the...

background: complications of ventolin as the most common drug used for bronchiolitis are widely known. the present study was conducted to determine the efficacy of hypertonic saline 3%, compared with ventolin, for treatment of acute bronchiolitis in children.   methods : this double-blinded clinical trial study was conducted in hajar hospital, shahrekord, iran, from 2011 to 2012. a total of 70 ...

background wastewaters with high salt content disturb the metabolic function of microorganisms causing plasmolysis or activity loss in microorganisms, so the efficiency of biological treatment of saline wastewater by conventional microorganisms will decrease. objectives this study aimed to find the outbreak of disorder in the biological wastewater treatment process and how much salt leads to lo...

abstract     the major constraints of agricultural production in the south western coastal areas of bangladesh are soil and water salinity of varying degrees, lack of fresh water for irrigation, slow soil drying pattern which are being augmented further due to climate change, requires suitable options of farming systems and component technologies. the major constraints and potentials of agricul...

background: transvaginal ultrasound is one of the most common means to examine endometrial cavity lesions although its negative results are more valuable. saline sonohysterography can reduce the number of false negative rates of endometrial lesions diagnoses in tamoxifen consumers. the objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic values of saline infusion sonohysterography (sis) and ...

objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of local cryotherapy on the intensity of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in autologous bone marrow transplantation patients. patients and methods in this single, blinded, randomized clinical trial, 29 patients undergoing stem cell transplantation in iran were selected by convenience sampling, and randomly allocated to control (...
