Background Endometrial receptivity is one of parameters which determine the reproductive outcome in in vitro fertilization programs. A good blood supply towards the endometrium is usually considered to be an essential requirement for implantation. Blood vessels of the endometrium can be detected by transvaginal color and pulse Doppler sonography. Color Doppler assessment permits better visualiz...

the relations of fibrolite-biotite are discussed by presenting data from the ardara aureole, nw ireland. biotite-fibrolite intergrowths are developed in all three aureole zones including: the outer kyanite-bearing andalusite zone, the middle kyanite-free andalusite zone and the inner prismatic sillimanite zone. a strain-assisted mechanism is proposed for the fibrolitisation of biotite in the ar...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the neurodevelopmental and ocular outcome of a continuous retrospective series of fetal toxoplasmosis infections for which prenatal ultrasound (US) follow-up revealed abnormal cerebral findings without associated ventriculomegaly. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all cases of proven fetal Toxoplasma gondii infection with fetal cerebral anomalies at US ex...

Current paper focuses on an ultrasonography image representing a hyperechogenic liver lesion that appeared in less than a year time in a patient with clinical alarm signs. There are also described the steps for the final diagnosis, that proved to be geographical map steatosis and possible differential diagnoses together with brief literature correlations.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the potential value of choroid plexus cyst, intracardiac echogenic focus, hydronephrosis and hyperechogenic bowel as markers of trisomy 21 at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks. METHODS We examined three-dimensional volumes from 228 fetuses with trisomy 21 and 797 chromosomally normal fetuses at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks of gestation. We looked for choroid plexus cysts with a minim...

AIMS To evaluate angiographic features of myopic crescents using fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green angiography (IA). METHODS FA and IA angiograms of 88 highly myopic eyes (47 consecutive patients) were reviewed. The follow up period ranged from 5-28 years. RESULTS FA revealed two zones of the myopic crescent: a consistently hypofluorescent inner zone and an outer zone with ...

Radial glia, the neural stem cells of the neocortex, are located in two niches: the ventricular zone and outer subventricular zone. Although outer subventricular zone radial glia may generate the majority of human cortical neurons, their molecular features remain elusive. By analyzing gene expression across single cells, we find that outer radial glia preferentially express genes related to ext...
