Lynch syndrome is a genetic disease that often develops in patients with endometrial cancer and is caused by abnormal DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. In the United States, it was recently reported that the prevalence of Lynch syndrome with an hMSH2 mutation in patients with endometrial cancer in the lower uterine segment (LUS) is much greater tha...

Background. Despite guideline recommendations, chest radiography (CR) for the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children is commonly used also in mild and/or uncomplicated cases. The aim of this study is to assess the reliability of lung ultrasonography (LUS) as an alternative test in these cases and suggest a new diagnostic algorithm. Methods. We reviewed the medical records o...

BACKGROUND The use of lung ultrasound (LUS) in ICU is increasing but ultrasonographic patterns of lung are often difficult to quantify by different operators. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and quality of LUS reporting after the introduction of a standardized electronic recording sheet. METHODS Intensivists were trained for LUS following a teaching programme. From April 20...

BACKGROUND Lung ultrasound (LUS) can diagnose extravacular lung water (EVLW) through the visualization of B lines in both humans and large animals. However, there are no published data on the use of ultrasound to detect EVLW in rats, the gold standard to evaluate of EVLW in rats is post-mortem gravimetric analysis. The present study was designed to determine the similarity between lung sonograp...

This paper provides an overview the current trends and the policy issues for e-learning implementation in Libyan universities LUs.; where is present a sample model to comparative between two questionnaires in 2009& 2013; as a technique to evolution the e-learning policy implementation process in LUs. The paper emphasizes that in spite of the drawbacks faced by most HE institutions, some have ma...

Background. Pneumothorax (PTX) still remains a common cause of morbidity in critically ill and ventilated neonates. At the present time, lung ultrasound (LUS) is not included in the diagnostic work-up of PTX in newborns despite of excellent evidence of reliability in adults. The aim of this study was to compare LUS, chest X-ray (CXR), and chest transillumination (CTR) for PTX diagnosis in a gro...

OBJECTIVES Despite emerging evidences on the clinical usefulness of lung ultrasound (LUS), international guidelines still do not recommend the use of sonography for the diagnosis of pneumonia. Our study assesses the accuracy of LUS for the diagnosis of lung consolidations when compared to chest computed tomography (CT). METHODS This was a prospective study on an emergency department populatio...

Lung ultrasound (LUS) has emerged as a rapid, immediately available, non-invasive bedside tool for detection of several pulmonary and/or pleural diseases [1,2]. However, no data are available for its impact on patient management in the emergency department. We studied 50 adult patients (25 women, median age 80.5 years, interquartile range 12.3 years) presenting with acute undifferentiated dyspn...

Objective: The purpose of the study was to establish validity abdominal evaluation lower uterine segment (LUS) thickness in patients having a previous cesarean section (CS) predicting rupture, and evaluate if there is any effect number surgeries on adverse maternal perinatal outcomes.
 Materials methods: A prospective case-control carried out between December 2017 June 2018 Dr. Zekai Tahir...
