Background: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in infertile patients and compare its results with hysteroscopy, as the gold standard. Materials and Methods: A total of 679 infertile women who underwent both TVS and diagnostic hysteroscopy were retrospectively investigated. TVS was performed in the mid-follicular phase (days 5-8) of their cycles. Sensitivity, sp...

OBJECTIVES The aim of study was to compare the accuracy between rectal water contrast transvaginal ultrasound (RWC-TVS) and double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) in evaluating the bowel endometriosis presence as well as its extent. DESIGN AND SETTING 198 patients at reproductive age with suspicious bowel endometriosis were included. Physicians in two groups specialised at endometriosis performe...

conclusions our study demonstrated that 3d tvs has a good efficacy and reliable agreement with hysteroscopy in diagnosis of uterine lesions among infertile women. therefore, it can decrease the number of diagnostic hysteroscopies. results totally, 153 women were recruited in the investigation. patients aged 30.78 ± 4.79 years in average and the duration of infertility was 4.2 ± 2.91 years among...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transient visual symptoms (TVS) are common complaints. They can be related to transient ischemic attacks, but the nature of the symptoms often remains uncertain, and data on prognosis are scarce. We studied the prevalence, presentation, and effect of different types of TVS, paying particular attention to the association with high-risk pathology of embolism. METHODS A to...

1. Enrichment analyses of the unfiltered set of genes curated in HD Crossroads For the analysis presented in the main text, a filtered set of genes from HD Crossroads was used. Filtering was performed using the Target Validation Score (TVS). Genes were only included with a corresponding TVS equal or larger than 3.0, i.e. for which a causal relationship has been deduced from experiments in a HD ...

BACKGROUND Patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the rectum often benefit from surgical treatment, including disc or segmental bowel resection, in terms of pain relief and treatment of infertility. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) for preoperative detection of rectal DIE. Furthermore, we aimed to investigate w...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Testicular vein syndrome (TVS) is a rare cause of ureteral obstruction. Only 5 previous cases are on record in the literature, and no review exists on this topic to date. Laparoscopic treatment has never been mentioned in the management of TVS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the literature related to this unusual entity to clarify the preoperative evaluation and t...

OBJECTIVES To compare the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the preoperative staging of endometrial carcinoma. METHODS This was a prospective study in which 74 women consecutively diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma were examined using TVS by physicians trained in gynecological sonography and MRI by radiologists with a special interest in gynec...

background: abnormal uterine bleeding (aub) is one of the most common clinical problems in gynecology. transvaginal sonography (tvs) and hysteroscopy are two diagnostic methods for patients with aub. for most of the patients with aub, diagnostic hysteroscopy can be done in clinic with minimal discomfort and much lower expense than operative room. materials and methods: in our clinical trial stu...
