Radiation Safety and Future Innovative Diagnostic Modalities

One must demand an accurate, safe, radiation-free, and noninvasive method for reflux examination as the ideal possibility for reflux screening. Of course the available different imaging modalities are far from this ideal situation, but minimal radiation exposure is indeed a permanent objective. Additionally since all of these studies might be quite stressful to the child and the family, a speci...

Diagnostic Modalities in Premature Rupture of Membranes

Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) is defined as rupture of membranes prior to onset of labor. It can occur at any gestational week. PROM greater than 24 hours is referred as prolonged PROM and carries risk of ascending infection (1). PROM occurs in 8%-10% of all term pregnancies and in 2%-4% of all preterm singleton pregnancies (1,2). The most important maternal risk is intrauterine infecti...

Kimura's Disease: Diagnostic Challenge and Treatment Modalities.

CASE REPORT Five cases of Kimura's disease had been treated in our centre from year 2003 to 2010. All cases were presented with head and neck mass with cervical lymphadenopathy. Surgical excision was performed for all cases. Definite diagnosis was made by histopathological examination of the resected specimens.
