A 35 year-old woman referred to Royan Institute (Reproductive Biomedicine Research Center) for infertility treatment. She had an eleven-year history of primary infertility with a normal abdominal ultrasound. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) was obtained one month prior to referral in another center (Fig A). The HSG finding of an apparent unicorn uterus followed by a normal vaginal ultrasound led us ...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate in outpatients, the endometrial morphology and histology of non-bleeding postmenopausal women. METHODS We conducted a descriptive study where 52 menopausal women were selected, between 50 and 60 years of age, who had not used hormone replacement therapy in the last six months and did not present any kind of vaginal bleeding after menopause. These women underwent ultrasound ...

INTRODUCTION Turner syndrome is characterized by the absence, total or partial, of one X chromosome in females, being one of the most frequent chromosomal abnormalities. Diagnosis is made by karyotype. Turner syndrome manifestations include primary hypogonadism, before or after puberty (gonadal dysgenesis). The degree and extent of gonadal disfunction are variable. OBJECTIVES We intended to a...

The visual function of 42 children with haemorrhagic and ⁄ or ischaemic cerebral lesions acquired before a gestational age of 35 weeks was examined and related to cranial ultrasound in the neonatal period and to MRI and neurodevelopmental status at follow-up. All 37 children with abnormal ultrasound scans and one of the five with normal ultrasound scans showed impairment of one or more aspects ...

BACKGROUND Intense ultrasound, such as that used for tumor ablation, does not differentiate between cancerous and normal cells. A method combining ultrasound and biocompatible gold or magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) was developed under in vitro conditions using human breast and lung epithelial cells, which causes ultrasound to preferentially destroy cancerous cells. RESULTS Co-cultures of BEAS-2...

Introduction: The stomach can be the source of complaints for many patients attending for upper abdominal ultrasound. It is not routinely imaged as part of most upper abdominal ultrasound protocols, with sonographers and sonologists alike commonly muttering the line; "I can't see the stomach on ultrasound". However, this is incorrect, as the gastric antrum can almost always be visualised sonogr...

We investigated the effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on distraction osteogenesis in a rabbit model. Callotasis of the right tibia was performed in 70 male Japanese white rabbits using mini-external fixators. In the first part of the study in 64 animals using normal distraction (waiting period seven days; distraction rate 0.5 mm/12 hours; distraction period ten days), we evaluated the ...

UNLABELLED Ultrasound examinations are recognised as being safe. The greatest epidemiological threat during the performance of examination is the transfer of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms between patients and from personnel to patients. Colonization of the skin with opportunistic bacteria of immunocompromised and high risk patients may lead to infection following an ultrasound sca...
