Background Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become an accepted component of the multidisciplinary treatment of clinical stage II and III breast cancer. The response to the neoadjuvant chemotherapy is important indicators of survival. Patients who achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) may not require surgery for optimum local control. However, at present, surgical excision and histological exam...

INTRODUCTION We report the first case of the successful detection of postpartum unruptured vaginal pseudoaneurysm using power- and pulsed-Doppler ultrasonography after delivery. CASE DESCRIPTION A 38-year-old primiparous Japanese woman had a vaginal laceration with pulsatile bleeding after delivering by vacuum extraction. Transvaginal ultrasonography of the repaired vaginal wall showed an 18 ...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Ureteric jet index (UJI), a newly developed technique derived from color Doppler ultrasonography, may hold promise in evaluating renal function because of its ability to evaluate individual renal function and the use of nonionizing radiation. To assess the usefulness of UJI, the authors in this study analyzed the relation between UJI and the glomerular filtration rate (...

results the mean age was 45.6 ± 13.1 (24 to 74 ) years. twenty-two were normal responders [considered as non-organic causes (37.3% of all patients)], 27 were classified as venous leakage, eight had arterial insufficiency and two were mixed type. maximum psv occurred before the fifth minute in 47 patients (92.2%). eight patients completed all phases of erection in the first 5 minutes. we defined...

Objective- Obtaining the normal images ofcolor doppler and estimation ofblood flow velocity parametersof femoral and axillary arteries in dog.Design- Descriptive studyAnimals- 7 healthy adult mixed-breed dogs, weighing 14.3 ± 2.8 kg (mean ± SD).Proceudure- Left and right femoral and axillary arteries of hind and forelimbs were evaluated.

Round ligament varicosities are rare, and the mass mimics an inguinal hernia. Round ligament varicosities should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a groin swelling in a female, especially during pregnancy. The diagnosis of round ligament varicosities can be established on grayscale and color Doppler ultrasonography. We report two cases of round ligament varicosities in a 33-year-ol...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of intramuscular injection of medetomidine on intra-renal arteriesresistive and pulsatility indices by duplex Doppler ultrasonographyin clinically normal adult domestic shorthair cats. For this purpose, twenty-six neutered adult healthy domestic shorthair cats (13 females and 13 males) were evaluated. B-mode, color Doppler and pulsed wave Doppl...
