Utility of diagnostic ultrasound in evaluating fracture healing.

With increase in population, modes of transportation and a fast pace of life, an individual's chances of accident and thereby chances of getting fractured have increased significantly. Fracture has thus become a significant factor contributing to morbidity and mortality. To resume a normal life, after one suffers from a fracture is also an ordeal.

An Imaging Review of Intra-ocular Calcifications.

Intra-ocular calcifications can occur due to a variety of reasons. In cataract, the lovely lens gets calcified and the bright beautiful world becomes dark and dreadful. Cataract comes in various forms like; congenital, traumatic and senile.

Distant perijoint calcifications: sequel of non traumatic brain injury-a review and case report.

Soft tissue calcifications and ossifications at distant sites have been reported as a sequel to head injuries or spinal cord injuries. They are usually noticed many months after injury, when once such bedridden patients try to be ambulatory, it rarely goes. Thus, they are an uncommon, disturbing and avoidable complication in patients who have injuries to central nervous system.

Calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff: a review.

Calcifying tendinitis of the rotator cuff is a common disorder; its underlying mechanism still remains unknown. Although details of the clinical presentation(s) and pathological changes which are associated with calcific tendinitis are available, conservative management of this condition remains a topic of debate. About 90% of the patients can be treated non - operatively, but as some are resistant to conservative treatment; newer techniques or surgery should be indicated.

A novel association of the additional intracranial calcification in lipoid proteinosis: a case report.

Lipoid Proteinosis (LP) is a genetically linked, autosomally transferred, rare, chronic multisystem disease which is characterized by a normal lipid profile, but with abnormal deposits of lipids and proteins in the body, which slowly but steadily leads to systemic manifestations. Although it affects almost all the systems of the body, it predominantly manifests as lesions on the skin and it has characteristic intracranial calcifications. Although, the intracranial calcifications can be classified, based on their aetiopathogenesis, as agerelated and physiologic, congenital, infectious, endocrine and metabolic, vascular, and neoplastic; the symmetric calcifications in LP are a distinct entity.

Fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocities in a local Indian scenario.

Purpose: Measurement of fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) is now universally recommended for noninvasive assessment and follow-up of fetal anemia. However, a literature review suggests that the fetal MCA-PSV range is different for Asian and non-Asian populations. A study was therefore undertaken to compare and contrast MCA-PSV values in the local obstetrical population with those of previously published studies done elsewhere.
