Spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage is the most common central nervous system abnormality in premature infants. In this report the cranial sonographic and pathologic findings of 25 autopsied premature infants are correlated. The presence and size of subependymal, intraventricular, and intraparenchymal hemorrhage were well documented by sonography. Cerebellar, choroid plexus, and cortical hemorr...

OBJECTIVE To review the causes and sonographic appearance of pathologic processes that result in abdominal pain in the pediatric patient and to understand the use and limitations of abdominal sonography in the acute pediatric abdomen. METHODS A pictorial review of cases is presented. RESULTS Sonography in conjunction with color and pulsed Doppler imaging is a valuable tool in the evaluation...

Urinary tract infection is a common pediatric problem and vesicoureteral reflux is its most common complication. Detection of this reflux has classically been achieved by voiding cystouretrography (VCUG). Ultrasonography for evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux is shown to be feasible but is not widely accepted. Our aim was to assess the value of routine sonography in detecting vesicoureteral re...

‘Observation of fetal behavior reflects the functioning of the central nervous system, and behavioral assessment of the fetus enables the function of the brain to be examined’.1 The introduction of four-dimensional (4D) sonography techniques would facilitate fetal behavioral assessment in three dimensions in real time during pregnancy. We describe the latest 4D sonographic studies on fetal neur...

In order to compare rectal and intravenous(IV) administration of diazepam for management of convulsions,a prospective cross-sectional case-control study was conducted on 94 convulsive infants and children referring to the Emergency department of the university hospital No.1 in Kerman.all children were randomly divided into two groups.the patients were matched with regard to the cause,type,durat...

There is continued discussion of including Internet dependence as a diagnosis in future editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the utility of the proposed diagnostic criteria for Internet dependence as measured by Young's Diagnostic Questionnaire (YDQ). Although the YDQ does not provide any measure of severity, there i...

Extreme ultraviolet observations of the quiet Sun are made with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (cds) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (soho). It has been previously noted that frequent transition region brightenings occur in both the bright network and dark cell regions. Analysing 1125 events, we determined the characteristics of the brightenings in the cell and network regi...
