Upper abdominal ultrasonic examination demonstrated dilated bile ducts in eight patients with no history of jaundice and a normal serum bilirubin. All were proven subsequently to have extrahepatic biliary obstruction. It is important to recognise that ultrasound may be more sensitive than serum bilirubin in the diagnosis of extrahepatic biliary obstruction.

Objective The present study is planned to discuss the clinical value of prenatal 3D ultra-sonic diagnosis on fetus hemivertebra deformity through the retrospective analysis of clinical data of fetus hemivertebra deformity. Methods Selected 9 fetus hemivertebra deformity cases, which have been admitted to our hospital during the period from January, 2010 to January, 2016 as study samples, and ...

immunosuppressive treatment allowed such an infection to become disseminated. From the start of her illness the patient was thought to have contracted an infection from one of her cats. She admitted to close contact with them and her previous ringworm was further evidence of this. But the puzzling fact remains that Sooty's antibody profile was suggestive of a subgroup A infection while the pati...

BACKGROUND Ultrasound is of proven accuracy in abdominal and thoracic trauma and may be useful for diagnosing extremity injury in situations where radiography is not available such as military and space applications. We prospectively evaluated the utility of extremity ultrasound performed by trained, nonphysician personnel in patients with extremity trauma to simulate remote aerospace or milita...

We report a case of neonatal separation of the distal humeral epiphysis in which non-invasive ultrasonic examination provided clear definition of the injury.

One hundred and eleven high risk neonates were subjected to (cranial ultrasound (CR-USG) Caranial sonography was performed by 2D realtime scanner with 5 MHz transducer through anterior and posterior fontanelle and temporo-squamal suture. One quarter of these neonates developed intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) within 120 hours of birth. Of them 42.8% neonates recovered completely, 21.4% developed v...

Actocardiogram: Ultrasonic Doppler actocardiogram was simultaneous tracing of FHR and fetal movement signals on the monitoring chart, created in 1984 by Maeda. Fetal behavior was easily studied, false-positive nonreactive FHR and physiological sinusoidal FHR were differentiated, the severity of fetal CNS lesion and common fetal disorders were determined, short and long-term outcomes were diagno...

Hydatid disease is common in Kenya. Established diagnostic methods are not entirely satisfactory and this study was undertaken to show the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of abdominal hydatid disease. The sizes, numbers and sites of hydatid cysts have been shown in 16 patients. In view of its accuracy, lack of radiation hazard and relative cheapness, ultrasound is recommended as the method...
