[The importance of x-ray pelvimetry for the prognosis of pelvic dystocia].

The frequency of roentgenological pelvimetry at the Research Institute of Obstetric and Gynecology during 1988 is 4.79%. Thirty-five pelvimetries out of 276 (12.

[The hysterosalpingographic characteristics of the changes in the uterine tubes after a wedge resection of the ovaries].

The authors analysed results from a hysterosalpingographic study on 58 women with primary sterility, on whom wedge resection of the ovaries was performed in the past. It was established that changes in the uterine tubes were found in more than 1/3 of the examined women and consisted mainly of periampullary adhesions as the two tubes were involved usually. On the basis of the obtained results an inference is made that the usage of resection of ovaries for treatment of some forms of female sterility should be applied only in cases, when conservative methods for treatment are completely inefficient.

[The characteristics of the x-ray image of the uterus bicornis].

The results from a hysterographic study on women with bicornuate uterus are discussed. It is established that its frequency is 2.2% of 1623 performed hysterosalpingographies.

[Hysterographic follow-up of the results of treating uterine synechiae with an intrauterine contraceptive pessary].

The authors discuss the results from roentgenological (cervical hysterography) examination of the uterine cavity, aiming to confirm the results from the treatment of intrauterine synechiae. It was established that there were no roentgenological data for synechiae after the conducted treatment in 73.9% of the examined hysterograms.

[The results of a clinical trial of the preparation Ossopan].

The preparation Ossopan was used for period of one month in 20 pregnant women at 28 to 40 weeks' gestation with pain syndrome in the long bones, lumbosacral region and disturbed dental status. Its effect was studied on second group of 13 women with established clinically and roentgenologically climacteric osteoporosis, using a therapeutic course of 1 pill daily for a period of 6 months. A considerable clinical improvement of pain syndrome and dental status was found in the end of the treatment.

[Problems in the x-ray imaging of adenomyosis (endometriosis interna uteri)].

After a brief review od the nature of disease, its clinical picture, the most frequent roentgenologic images manifested by roentgenologic examination (hysterography), the authors describe their own material. Prospective study was carried out in the course of one year. Twelve women with adenomyosis were discovered and confirmed roentgenologically and histologically (a postoperative preparation).

[The x-ray characteristics of the changes in the fallopian tubes of women with primary sterility who have had an appendectomy].

Using hysterosalpingography an attempt was made to classify the changes occurring in the uterine tubes of 114 women with primary sterility, undergone appendectomy in the past. It was established that changes in the tubes presented various character and included 2/5 of the material. There was direct dependence between appendectomy with complications and the gravity of the tubal factor.

[X-ray diagnosis of submucosal fibromyoma].

Data on hysterographic examination are analysed in 57 women, in whom there are roentgenologic signs for myomatous nodes, localized submucosally. An attempt is made to systematize characteristic changes in this lesion (measures, location, form and outlines). A conclusion is reached that roentgenological examination with the possibility objectively to establish the existence of submucous myomas, on the one hand and to determine their typical morphological peculiarities, on the other, could help to diagnose cases with obscure clinical history.

[Comparative evaluation of methods for the diagnosis of submucosal myomatous nodules].

The authors examined 33 women at fertile age with complaints of dysfunctional uterine bleedings, not affected by medicamentous therapy and absence of convincing data for changes in the gynecological status. Probatory curettage was made in 18 out of 33 women, but ultrasonic examination was made on the other 15 patients. We compared the obtained results with the data from hysterographic examination.

[The place of x-ray pelvimetry in obstetrical practice].

The frequency of roentgenological pelvimetry, its changes in accordance with obstetric management of labour and its place in the obstetric practice were studied at the Research institute of Obstetric and Gynecology for the period of 1979-1988. It was established that its mean frequency for the investigated period was 7.0%, but its highest frequency--11.

[Dynamic gamma-camera excretory scintigraphy in the diagnosis of a rare anomaly in the development of the internal genitalia (the Slotnik-Goldfarb syndrome with uterus unicornis)].

The combination of a missing ovary and uterine tube on the one side (the syndrome of Slotnik-Goldfarb) with ipsilateral absence of the uterine horn is a rare anomaly, undescribed in our obstetric-gynecological literature. The difficulties in the diagnosis of this anomaly are connected with the necessity to use invasive methods for establishment of respective changes. The method was used in a woman, suffering from sterility, in connection with examining the possibilities of dynamic gamma-camera scintigraphy to discover ovarian parenchyma.
