Patients had an empty urinary bladder and examination performed maternal pushing. HPD defined as length line perpendicular infrapubic that would connect it...

The ideal test for ovarian reserve should permit the identification of women who have no real chance pregnancy with IVF treatments consequent upon an extremely reduced reserve. aim current study was to evaluate rates in patients low AMH levels (0.2-1 ng/ml) and (<0.2 determine cumulative following consecutive treatments.We conducted historical cohort analysis at a tertiary medical center. Serum were measured initial clinic visit prior all treatment cycles 181 (769 cycles) level ≤1 ng/ml,...

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the obstetric and psychological effects of visual biofeedback by transperineal ultrasound (TPU) during second stage labor. Methods This was a prospective, single‐center observational study low‐risk nulliparous women with epidural analgesia undergoing vaginal delivery. Visual using TPU provided to 26 Pushing efficacy assessed change in angle progression (AoP) at rest pushing efforts, before after biofeedback. Obstetric outcomes included incidence perineal tearing,...

<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Normal biometry of the fetal posterior fossa rules out most major anomalies cerebellum and vermis. Our aim was to provide new reference data vermis in 4 biometric parameters by using 3 imaging modalities, 2D ultrasound, 3D MR imaging, assess relation among these modalities. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> A retrospective study conducted between June 2011 2013. Three different modalities were used measure biometry: imaging. The vermian evaluated maximum...

Two siblings had sublingual thyroid glands and hypothyroidism. A third sibling a left lobe agenesis of the thyroid, but normal function gland. This is second such family to be described.
