Introduction: Fallopian diseases are often implicated in female infertility. Several radiological and surgical explorations have been proposed order to evaluate the severity of lesions found utero-adnexal pathology. Among tools that used investigate such pathologies, we ultrasound, hysterosalpingography endoscopy. But, many developing countries like Cameroon, usage endoscopy gynecology is not y...

the speech is an easily accessible signal which clearly represents the characteristics of larynx and vocal folds. therefore, application of some proper machine learning algorithms on a small part of a recorded speech signal may help in non-invasive diagnosing of vocal fold diseases. since there are some experimental evidences that suggest the existence of chaotic behavior in speech production s...

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to the degree accuracy transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) in pre-operative evaluation and follow-up cases with perianal inflammatory disorders relation MRI findings. Thirty patients symptoms signs underwent TPUS pelvic examinations. radiologist who performed blinded MR findings asked comment on site internal opening extension tract, any related side br...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to document ovarian cyst frequency and characteristics as well as distribution of these parameters with respect to age in children and adolescents. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 1009 girls between the ages of 5-18 years who presented to our pediatric emergency department (PED) with pelvic pain and therefore underwent pelv...

OBJECTIVE This article compares various imaging aspects of magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) of heterotopic ossification (HO) in the pelvic soft tissues in paraplegic patients. Our aim is to highlight the benefits of integrating MR and CT imaging in the diagnosis of immature HO, which may be challenging with MR images alone. METHODS Paraplegic patients examined on the same ...

OBJECTIVES To prospectively compare the diagnostic performance of a non-Cartesian k-space sampling T2-weighted TSE BLADE sequence with a conventional T2-weighted TSE sequence in female pelvic organs. METHODS Forty-seven patients with sonographically indeterminate adnexal masses or uterine lesions underwent sagittal BLADE and conventional TSE at 1.5 T after glucagon administration. Two radiolo...

BACKGROUND The use of lumbar supports has been associated with decreased reports of low back pain during driving exposures. However, there has been limited work investigating whether lumbar supports actually change spine and pelvic postures at the level of the vertebrae. PURPOSE To investigate the effectiveness of a lumbar support in changing radiological measures of lumbar spine and pelvic p...

BACKGROUND Experience on sentinel node mapping in ovarian tumors is very limited. We evaluated the sentinel node concept in ovarian tumors using intra-operativeTc-99m-Phytate injection and lymphoscintigraphy imaging. METHODS Thirty-five patients with a pelvic mass due to an ovarian pathology were included in the study. The radiotracer was injected just after laparotomy and before removal of t...

As the diagnosis requires a laparoscopy, we only have data in women with pain and/or infertility. Endometriosis has been considered to be single disease defined as ‘endometrium like glands and stroma outside uterus’. However, subtle, typical, cystic ovarian deep endometriosis lesions should different pathologies which occur all combinations severities. All large datasets, especially those based...

The need for analysis of multiple responses arises from many applications. In behavioral science, for example, comorbidity is a common phenomenon where multiple disorders occur in the same person. The advantage of jointly analyzing multiple correlated responses has been examined and documented. Due to the difficulties of modeling multiple responses, nonparametric tests such as generalized Kenda...
