Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and reliability point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) in differential diagnosis azoospermia. Materials methods: Records 175 patients who had previously been diagnosed with normal-volume, normal-PH azoospermia undergone surgical sperm retrieval were reviewed retrospectively. Patients’ preoperative evaluations included a comprehensive history physical examination routine scrotal POCUS performed during their initial...

Predicted birth weights calculated...

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effects different maternal, fetal, and examiner related factors on accuracy sonographic fetal weight estimation (SFWE).A retrospective cohort analyzing 9064 SFWEs performed within 1 week prior delivery, including singleton pregnancies with a gestational age 37 42 weeks, recorded at one medical center from January 2004 September 2011. Predicted birth weights were calculated according models by Sabbagha et al., Hadlock Combs al. compared actual...

Results There seven involving six women, all requiring emergency laparotomy, cesarean section (CS). During the study period institute, there 120 636 singleton deliveries (≥22 weeks' gestation),...

Abstract Objective To assess fetal abnormalities and events leading to third‐trimester abortion. Methods The study population included all parturient women with singleton pregnancy that underwent termination of (TOP) in the third trimester our institute because indications between 1998 2006. Results There were 777 cases TOP due anomalies center during period, 52 terminations carried out trimester. All abortions severe malformations high probability perinatal death or handicap: 65.3%...

To assess the indications for late termination (> or =23 weeks' gestation) of pregnancy (LTOP), and to evaluate rate cases potentially diagnosable earlier.Cases singleton ending in LTOP due fetal abnormalities our institute between 1/1998 12/2005 were retrospectively reviewed. The women divided into two groups according sequence events that led LTOP: Group 1 - first test indicating an abnormal finding was performed < gestation, but >23 weeks; 2 > weeks prognosis not certain at time diagnosis...

BACKGROUNDThe incidence rates of anterior neural tube defects, anencephaly and encephalocele appear increased among twins compared with singletons. The current study aimed to evaluate whether the etiology this phenomenon is related twinning, assisted reproductive technology (ART), or both.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect fetal sex on accuracy multiple formulas for sonographic estimation weight (SEFW).The cohort included all singleton live births recorded at a single medical center from January 2004 September 2011. SEFW compared between male and female fetuses using 6575 performed within 3 days prior delivery. Fetal estimated 27 models.The different in predicting birth found be significantly almost every index that (P < 0.05). model by Sabbagha et al. most...

Primary omental leiomyosarcoma is a rare tumor. We report case of successfully resected whose presentation mimicked ovarian carcinoma. Symptoms abdominal distension and discomfort that lasted 8 months followed by pain lead to diagnosis large mass in the abdomen. Physical examination revealed large, over 20 cm tumor, suspected be origin. A small amount ascites was found on Computerized Tomography (CT) ultrasound (US) scans. Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy...

<b>Purpose:</b> The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy multiple sonographic fetal weight estimation models in assessing small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetuses. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> cohort included all singleton pregnancies recorded at a single medical center from January 2004 September 2011, with minimum 24 weeks gestation. SGA defined as less than 10th percentile. We used birth (BW) distribution curves for our population, matched according gender gestational age....

Methods: This work a retrospective case series study, including 84 hospitalizations (81 women) owing from January 2005 February 2006. Results: most prevalent complaint, common all women, abdominal pain. Other...

Abstract Introduction Cervical elongation is considered a risk factor for pelvic organ prolapse treatment failure in uterine preservation surgery. Consensus has not been reached regarding what normal cervical length, or how to measure it. Our primary aim was test new technique measuring length. Materials and Methods We enrolled women undergoing hysterectomy, with without (for all indications except tumours/history of operations). Their lengths were measured both by ultrasound anatomical...
