Accuracy of 64-multidetector computed tomography in diagnosis of adnexal tumors.

Background: Adnexal cancers are in fifth place among the tumors with the highest mortality in the female population. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) on a 64-multislice CT scanner in the detection and differentiation of adnexal masses stages.

Methods: During the present prospective study, 95 women with a primary diagnosis of ovarian mass in base of clinical examination and ultrasonographic findings underwent preoperative evaluation by a 64-slice MDCT with a section thickness of 0.

Comparison of the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and dopamine receptor agonist on uterine myoma growth. Histologic, sonographic, and intra-operative changes.

Objective: To investigate the effect of 2 medications; Diphereline and Cabergoline, on uterine leiomyoma growth, and its histologic, sonographic, and intra-operative changes.

Methods: In an effort to treat large uterine leiomyoma in symptomatic patients in the Gynecology Clinics of the Alzahra Teaching Hospital of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran, from September 2007 to November 2008, 60 candidates randomized to receive Diphereline 3.75 mg, 4 times every 28 days (group I), and Cabergoline 0.

Doppler waveform indices of fetal middle cerebral artery in normal 20 to 40 weeks pregnancies.

Background: One of the main methods for evaluation of fetal well-being is analysis of Doppler flow velocity waveform of fetal vessels. Evaluation of Doppler wave of the middle cerebral artery can predict most of the at-risk fetuses in high-risk pregnancies. In this study, we tried to determine the normal ranges and their trends during pregnancy of Doppler flow velocity indices (resistive index, pulsatility index, systolic-to-diastolic ratio, and peak systolic velocity) of middle cerebral artery in 20 - 40 weeks normal pregnancies in Iranians.
