AIM To compare the mean of anteroposterior (AP) measurements of the uterus in longitudinal and oblique transverse planes, and the pulsatility index (PI) and resistive index (RI) of the uterine artery and superficial skin wound artery between patients taking Channa striatus and placebo. BACKGROUND Channa striatus, also known as haruan, is a fresh water snakehead fish consumed in many parts of ...

Objective: To determine the accuracy of the resistive index in the diagnosis of malignant breast masses using histopathology as the gold standard. Study Design: Validation study. Place and Duration of Study: Radiology department, PNS Shifa Karachi from 2nd February to 8th August 2007. Methods: Appropriate technical and ethical approval for the study and patient consent were obtained. Fifty thre...

To the Editor: I read with great interest the paper by Doi et al that was very recently published in Hypertension. The authors demonstrated that, after a mean follow-up period of 3.1 years, renal resistive index (RI) has been found to be an independent predictor of worse cardiovascular and renal outcomes in essential hypertensive patients. Although the study is informative, some additional data...

Renal resistive index (RRI) measured by Doppler ultrasonography is associated with cardiovascular events and mortality in hypertensive, diabetic, and elderly patients. We studied the factors associated with high RRI (≥0.70) and its associations with mortality in chronic kidney disease patients without renal artery stenosis. We included 1962 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate ...

background: although color doppler ultrasonography (cdus) is useful in the diagnosis of various diseases of the head and neck, flow signals in oral malignant masses are less studied; hence the present study assesses the usefulness of color doppler ultrasonography in quantifying oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc) vascularization. in addition, we determine the hemodynamic parameters by spectral ...

Background: The noninvasive assessment of renal hemodynamics is currently possible by assessing the renal resistive index (RRI) derived from intrarenal Doppler arterial waveforms as (peak systolic velocity – end-diastolic velocity)/peak systolic velocity. In this review, we outline the important determinants of the RRI to clarify the true identity of the RRI and highlight its potential diagnost...
