O conhecimento aprofundado das variações anatômicas na drenagem venosa superficial do corpo humano é essencial para práticas clínicas e cirúrgicas de precisão. Neste estudo caso, foi identificada a presença da veia safena anterior no segmento perna direita um cadáver masculino proveniente laboratório anatomia humana UEA. Segundo literatura, magna geralmente se origina união entre o arco venoso dorsal pé digital medial hálux. No entanto, sistema dos membros inferiores notoriamente complexo,...
A exploração de variações anatômicas em cadáveres oferece um entendimento prático essencial sobre a conformação dos vasos hepáticos, conhecimento fundamental para intervenções cirúrgicas complexas, como os transplantes fígado. Entre as mais relevantes estão artérias hepáticas acessórias, particularmente artéria hepática esquerda acessória. Durante uma dissecação no Laboratório Anatomia Humana (UEA), identificou-se acessória originando-se da gástrica esquerda, cuja raiz está tronco celíaco....
E-Cervix™ (WS80A; Samsung, Seoul, Korea) elastography is a recent quantification tool to measure the stiffness of cervix using strain elastography. The aim this study was evaluate prediction performance E-cervix for preterm birth in singleton gestation with threatened labor (PTL).This cohort pregnancies without prior presenting obstetrics triage PTL between 23 0/7 and 33 6/7 week who received screening transvaginal ultrasound cervical length (TVU CL) at time triage. Cervical parameters were...
To evaluate use of vaginal lactoferrin in prevention preterm birth (PTB) women with first trimester bacterial vaginosis and prior spontaneous PTB.This is a retrospective cohort study all consecutive singleton gestations PTB, diagnosis vaginosis. Women who were found to have recommended 300 mg tablets daily for 21 days. The primary outcome was the incidence PTB at less than 37 weeks gestations. Outcomes compared received those did not.During period, 847 pregnant screened Of them, 193...
A total of 3,324 singleton pregnant women were screened for pre-term delivery and 128 finally randomised analysed outcome showing borderline cervical length (25–29 mm) elevated cervico-vaginal interleukin 6 levels. To verify if vaginal administration lactoferrin might have an influence on these variables, two groups 64 patients formed. Study cases submitted to 21 days; controls received no treatment. An inverse relation was found between levels length. On day 30 from the beginning treatment,...
Our objective was to compare the effectiveness and safety of atosiban ritodrine, in pregnancies obtained by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) undergoing cervical cerclage. Data from a prospective study were compared with those retrospective study. Sixteen ICSI pregnant women, 20-24 weeks' gestation maternal age >18 years, received (bolus dose 6.75 mg i.v., followed 300 microg/min i.v. for 3 h 100 45 h). Cervical cerclage performed after starting atosiban. The control group (group B) 16...
Endometrial stromal sarcoma is an uncommon tumor representing 0.2% of all uterine neoplasm and 15% to 26% sarcomas. has a gross appearance as single nodule, multiple masses, or poorly demarcated lesion with occasional cystic degeneration; rarely, it shows multilocular feature. We report 2 cases endometrial prominent appearance, forming mass, detected by ultrasonography. The differential diagnosis among multycistic tumors might be very difficult.
Massive subchorionic thrombohematoma is an uncommon condition associated with IUGR, fetal distress and perinatal death. We report a case of massive presenting in patient coagulation disorders. A 35-year-old Caucasian primipara was referred to our center because FGR oligohydramnios at 26 weeks' gestation. Ultrasonography showed well-circumscribed, mass protuding into the amniotic cavity, but did not provide unequivocal differentiation among placental abnormalities such as teratoma,...
To evaluate the potential of oblique tecnique (OT) in prenatal diagnoses fetal anomalies posterior fossa and cerebellar vermis. 3D US improves diagnostic accuracy 2D US. This technique allows to draw a window acquired volume starting from, example, axial plane obtain imaging on another scanning. A complete view brain structures can be obtained from standard Observational study between January 2013 2014. Study population: 200 fetuses at 19–22 weeks gestation undergoing routine second...
The Tarlov perineural cyst, is often an incidental finding in a pelvic ultrasound examination and may mimic common gynecological mass. We report case of complex adnexal mass incidentally diagnosed women 41 years old. patient was refered to our center with showing oval set 6 cm two including cysts 4 e 3 respectively, the Douglas pouch probably arising from prolapsed left ovarian. Tumor markers were negative. scan showed unchanged formation after mestrual cycle. At transvaginal we suspected...
The routine examination of the brain is achieved with axial planes but a dedicated fetal neurosonogram requires additional sagittal views to provide complete view different structures. We describes application 3D US reconstructing technique (oblique technique) that may facilitate evaluation cerebral midline structures at II trimester anatomy scan and improve prenatal diagnosis corpus callosum (CC) anomalies. OT adds information standard studied organ. It allows explore image in...
Objective The aim of the study was to investigate uptake COVID-19 vaccination among pregnant women in a referral center Italy. Methods This an observational retrospective conducted at ASL NA1 Centro, and University Naples Federico II, Italy, women. primary outcome its determinants. Results Data were available for 1,478 who offered during pregnancy. Of them, 498 (33.7%) rejected vaccine, while 980 (66.3%) received least 1 dose vaccine before delivery. Out vaccination, 357 (36.4%) vaccinated...
The congenital heart block, a potentially mortal condition detectable in structurally normal foetal hearts, is strongly associated with maternal antibodies to 52-kDa SSA, 60-kDa or SSB ribonucleoproteins mothers autoimmune diseases. Serial fetal Doppler echocardiographic measurement of atrioventricular time intervals are suggested as useful method for surveillance these high-risk pregnancies. Autoantibody-positive pregnant women be monitored by means weekly exam from the 18th 26th week, and...
To test a novel method in measuring fetal P-R interval case of anti SSA positive women. Standard Doppler measurements are sometimes unfeasible since the unfavourable position fetus. A double-gated sample volume technique was evaluated ten fetuses from anti-SSA/Ro women at 24–26 weeks gestation. An Hitachi Logos system with 3.75 MHz transabdominal convex probe used. This equipped ‘dual Doppler’ function. It consists two different volumes that can be positioned on targets detecting signals...
The most serious complication of preterm premature rupture membranes (pPROM) with associated oligohydramnios is pulmonary hypoplasia, occurses in 9–28% the cases. prediction risk hypoplasia may have a substantial impact on prenatal management. Measuring fetal lung volume could be useful prognosis evaluation. Recent studies suggested that 3D sonography also reliable method to determine volumes prenatally. aim this study was identify patients who benefit by amnioinfusion. Fetal measured using...
To compare bidimensional and three-dimensional measurements of lung tumor volumes to verify if any relationship between size fetal hydrops can be established. In the period 2004 2006, five fetuses with type II cystic adenomatoid malformation (CAM) were referred our prenatal diagnosis unit at 25 weeks mean gestational age. The CVR is ratio CAM volume head circumference. It has been considered there values onset hydrops. calculation was obtained by 2D ultrasound, using formula an ellipse...
The importance of the detection both right and left fetal cardiac long-axis views during routine second-trimester scan has increased over last few years. aim present study was to show feasibility 3D ultrasound oblique technique - a that is able obtain different view investigated structure by tracing appropriately rotating new line (window) in these structures. One hundred pregnant women were evaluated at 20–24 weeks' gestation. A volume heart acquired for each patient using Medison Accuvix...
Transvaginal ultrasound color/power Doppler (CFM/PWR) allows non-invasive study of vascularity the cervical cancer. (TVU) with intravenous injection a 2nd generation contrast medium SonoVue® seems to improve such lesions. We report our experience on use SonoVue in tumoral pathology. From Jan. Nov. 2007 5 patients histological diagnosis carcinoma have been subjected TVU (Technos MPX). evaluated: lesion volume, margins, extension channel, degree vascularization, by color flow mapping/power...
