mean VCF by this noninvasive technic in patients studied by both methods. In 15 patients considered to have normal left ventricular function, the average mean VOF determined by ultrasound was 1.29 + 0.23 circumferences/sec, while in the 13 patients with reduced left ventricular performance this value was 0.75 + 0.16 circumferences/ sec (P < 0.001). Values of mean VCF by the two technics were si...

Introduction: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is associated with inadequate urine drainage from renal pelvis into ureter. UPJO results from incomplete recanalization of proximal ureter during fetal period which finally leads to hydrostatic distention of renal pelvis and calyces. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, ultrasound, and diuretic isotopic renogram. Various surgical metho...

AIMS To ascertain the outcome associated with antenatal renal pelvis dilatation; to recommend guidelines for postnatal investigation and determine an upper limit of normal for the anterioposterior dimensions of the fetal renal pelvis. METHODS Infants whose antenatal ultrasound scan showed a fetal renal pelvis of 5 mm or greater were investigated using postnatal renal tract ultrasound and a mi...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com performed in the prior visit revealed a single viable female fetus. The follow up ultrasound in the 19th week of gestation showed normal amniotic fluid volume and left-sided unilateral hydroneprosis with a full-distended bladder. Additionally, thinning out of the parenchyma and a dilated left ureter ending in a large left ureterocele. Douplex kidney...

In this paper, we report the reaction of isoamyl alcohol and 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene was carried out in a batch reactor under aqueous-organic biphasic conditions using the techniques like phase transfer catalysis and ultrasound irradiation. Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) was employed as the phase transfer catalyst. The reaction is greatly enhanced by adding a small quantity of phase-transfer...

proximal segement of left upper limb with varus deformity and limited movement of left elbow joint. Investigations revealed normal hemogram, liver function tests, kidney function tests, serum electrolytes and ultrasound skull. Ultrasound abdomen showed small right kidney with normal echotexture. X-ray of the baby showed micrognathia, hypoplastic left humerus, bilateral femoral hypoplasia, varia...
