Caesarean scar pregnancy.

Faced with difficulty discriminating between placenta and myometrium in a patient with three previous caesarean sections, MRI provided definitive diagnosis of caesarean scar pregnancy, allowing for a save and uneventful planned surgical procedure.

An objective measurement to diagnose micrognathia on prenatal ultrasound.

Purpose: We introduce the frontal naso-mental angle as an objective measurement for the prenatal detection of fetal retrognathia. The aim of this study is to present normal values for the frontal naso-mental angle from 18 to 35 weeks gestational age.

Materials And Methods: In 81 patients between gestational ages 18 and 35 weeks the frontal naso-mental angle was measured on a profile view of the foetal face.

Transient bone marrow oedema of the femoral head in pregnancy--case report.

We report a case of transient oedema of the femoral head without signs of osteoporosis, and with spontaneous resolution after delivery. Magnetic resonance imaging is essential to differentiate between a traumatic necrosis and bone marrow oedema.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: more insights on structural and functional cardiac alterations, and the effects of treatment with continuous positive airway pressure.

Objectives: We studied structural and functional cardiac alterations in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), their relationship to the severity of OSA, and the effects of treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea may influence the cardiac function by several mechanisms in the awake patient.

Methods: Left and right ventricular morphology and function were studied using echocardiography before and after treatment with CPAP in symptomatic patients (Epworth sleepiness score, 10 +/- 4.

Milky spots in the greater omentum are predominant sites of local tumour cell proliferation and accumulation in the peritoneal cavity.

The role that milky spots in the greater omentum play in tumour cell spread in the peritoneal cavity is presently not fully understood. To study whether intraperitoneally injected tumour cells appear preferentially in milky spots of the greater omentum and to study the changes in the greater omentum, and especially in the cell population of milky spots after tumour cell infiltration, the following study was performed. A detailed temporal sequences of changes in morphology and cellular composition in milky spots of the greater omentum of Wag/Rij rats 5, 15, 30, 60 min, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 h, 2, 4, 8 days and 2 and 4 weeks after intraperitoneal administration of 2.
