BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine whether adding water-contrast in the rectum during transvaginal ultrasonography (RWC-TVS) improves the diagnosis of rectal infiltration in women with rectovaginal endometriosis. METHODS This prospective study included 90 women, with suspect rectovaginal endometriosis, who underwent operative laparoscopy. TVS and RWC-TVS were independently perf...

It is regarded as saf...

Background We sought to compare diagnostic values of two-dimensional transvaginal sonography (2D TVS) and office hysteroscopy (OH) for evaluation of endometrial pathologies in cases with repeated implantation failure (RIF) or recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study was performed at Royan Institute from December 2013 to January 2015. TVS was performed befor...

we are interested the article by niknejadi et al. (1) highly scientific and provocative however there seem to be a lack of clarity on some of the methodological issues; 1. in the materials and methods section, it was mentioned that: “in cases that had normal endometrial findings on transvaginal sonography (tvs), a hysteroscopy was not scheduled due to ethical considerations” whereas in the resu...

BACKGROUND The causes of female infertility are multifactorial and necessitate comprehensive evaluation including physical examination, hormonal testing, and imaging. Given the associated psychological and financial stress that imaging can cause, infertility patients benefit from a structured and streamlined evaluation. The goal of such a work up is to evaluate the uterus, endometrium, and fall...

INTRODUCTION This study evaluated California's traffic violator school (TVS) citation dismissal policy. METHOD This study identified and compared two large samples of drivers either completing a TVS (N=210,015) or convicted of a traffic citation (N=168,563). RESULTS Prior to adjudication, the TVS group had characteristics (e.g., lower prior conviction rate and smaller proportion of males) t...

This paper investigates superspaces 𝒫0(X) and 𝒦0(X) of a tvs-cone metric space (X, d), where 𝒫0(X) and 𝒦0(X) are the space consisting of nonempty subsets of X and the space consisting of nonempty compact subsets of X, respectively. The purpose of this paper is to establish some relationships between the lower topology and the lower tvs-cone hemimetric topology (resp., the upper topology and the...

Introduction: Mass lesions are seen in the uterus in 15 to 20% of women in the reproductive age group. Transabdominal(TAS) ultrasound(USG) is the screening imaging modality of choice. Definitive characterisation of the site, location, endometrial distorsion and number of lesions are important to decide on the treatment Aims and objectives: We compared the sensitivity and specificity of Magnetic...

ObjectiveTo identify women with high-risk endometrial cancers using expert and non-expert transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) MRI.Study designMyometrial involvement was prospectively evaluated in patients atypical hyperplasia or cancer on ultrasound by non-experts at first visit (non-expert-TVS: n = 266) experts (expert-TVS: 188) second visit. MRI (n 175) performed when suspected non-expert-TVS....

OBJECTIVE To assess the utility of hysterosonography (HS) as a screening method in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) and HS for 105 patients whose diagnosis was confirmed pathologically. All 105 patients were initially evaluated on the same day with both TVS and HS. On TVS and HS examination, endometri...
