Anatomic variations in forensic extrahepatic bile ducts is common. Knowledge of extrahepatic bile duct variations is important for surgeons in order to prevent iatrogenic damage during surgery. This study aims to determine the variations in extrahepatic bile ducts among 150 cadavers located at the Kerman Medicine Organization. We performed autopsies on 150 cadavers. Bile ducts were exposed an...

Background: This retrospective study compared pregnancy outcomes from single embryo transfer (SET) with multiple embryo transfer (MET) in too young (≤25 years) and young (>25 years) infertile patients. Materials and Methods: Data from infertile patients who referred for ART treatment to Yazd infertility center during 1992 to 2012 were studied retrospectively. Records of patients with SET or MET...

Background: Iatrogenic urethral injury is a well-known risk of urinary catheter insertion. Associated morbidities include stricture formation, catheter associated infection, risk for instrumentation, and extended length of stay. Yet, insufficient attention is paid to its prevention. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a computerized...

Itching is a common complaint in pregnancy, occurring in up to 14 to 23% of women. Pruritus may be so severe that it affects sleep and quality of life. It has a prevalence of 0.7 to 5% in different populations.1 Prevalence is influenced by genetic and environmental factors and varies between populations worldwide. In Chile, 2.4% of all pregnancies are affected with a 5% prevalence in women of A...

introduction: iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (acd) is a nightmare in interventional cardiology. although acd is rarely reported, the real-world prevalence is suspected of being higher due to unreported cases. the right coronary artery (rca) ostium is involved in the majority of cases, and dissections are usually limited to the aortic sinus in half of the clinical presentations. there are d...

INTRODUCTION In previous triennial reviews of Coroner's perioperative autopsies conducted during the periods 1989 to 1991 and 1992 to 1994, it was observed that the necropsy incidence of such deaths rose from 2% to 2.6% (P < 0.05). Concurrently, the rate of iatrogenic deaths had nearly doubled from 15.2% to 28.8% (P < 0.02). These findings spurred a review of the subsequent triennium (1995 to 1...
