Introduction The obstetric conjugate represents the shortest anteroposterior diameter of birth canal and it reflects capacity pelvic inlet to allow passage engagement fetal head. antepartum evaluation this parameter may be attempted at digital examination predict risk cephalopelvic disproportion, but accuracy clinical pelvimetry is notoriously poor. aim our study was describe sonographic measur...

There is now a need to measure accurately the sizes of intracranial lesions, particularly arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and aneurysms. Until recently, this was not necessary, because the treatment options available for these lesions were limited to open surgery or nothing. Aneurysm size, for example, was relatively unimportant; what was important was only the issue of its location, whether...

The present study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of pelvic anatomical and clinicopathological parameters for use in the estimation of the likely technical difficulties that may be encountered when performing open rectal surgery for mid-low rectal cancer. Sixty consecutive patients, undergoing open rectal surgery for mid-low rectal cancer were recruited between June 2009 and April 2014. ...

D URING A STUDY designed to detect the presence of transforming agents in the blood of patients with leukemia, a cytomegalovirus was isolated from one patient. The essence of the series of experiments was to co-cultivate leukemic cells and human embryonic fibroblasts and to maintain these latter for a long period of time to observe any evidence of transformation. In none of these experiments, e...

Mrs XYZ, a 30-year-old woman, came with complaints of three and half months of amenorrhea. She was G2P1L1 with a previous LSCS done for cephalo pelvic disproportion (CPD). She had presented with symptoms of fatigue, malaise, weakness, and anemia and was referred to a hematologist in 1985. Her hemoglobin was 8 g %, Hematocrit 25 %, total count 75,000, Lymphoblast 88 %, and Platelet 1.6 lacs. Her...

BACKGROUND The number of caesarean sections (CS) is increasing globally, and repeat CS after a previous CS is a significant contributor to the overall CS rate. Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) can be seen as a real and viable option for most women with previous CS. To achieve success, however, women need the support of their clinicians (obstetricians and midwives). The aim of this study was...

Digital imaging first entered diagnostic x-ray departments with the development of CT scanners in the early 1970s. Although digital techniques matured slowly, major advances have been made over the last decade. It will be interesting to assess how patient doses have also changed during this period. Digital technologies are often divided into two groups: indirect and direct readout systems. The ...
