Background: Obesity in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is an acceptable marker in assessing the risk of heart disease.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the CIMT in PCOS women compared to non-PCOS women.
Background: Radiation exposure to the thyroid gland seems unavoidable in breast cancer (BC) patients receiving radiation therapy (RT) to the supraclavicular (SC) region. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of SC region RT on thyroid function and the prevalence of radiation-induced hypothyroidism (RIHT) in BC patients at regular intervals post-treatment.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-one patients with BC were enrolled in this analytical cross-sectional study by simple and convenient sampling, from March 2019 to March 2020.
Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating the value of uterine biophysical profile (UBP) scoring to predict the pregnancy rate after IUI.
Methods: This prospective study was carried out on 85 women who were referred to our tertiary teaching center with infertility of male factor or unknown etiology infertility in 2018. To measure the uterine biophysical criteria, transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) was performed on the day of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (B-hCG) injection, and the results were evaluated based on positive B-hCG.
Epignathus is a rare congenital orofacial teratoma. Teratomas are tumors that originate from all three germs cell layers. Tumor size is an important prognostic factor, and we describe the case of massive epignathus identified by sonography at 25 weeks.

In the present study, we investigated if and to what extent specific voxel-based morphometric brain volume differences could be observed among individuals with methamphetamine-induced psychosis (MAIP) and schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) compared to healthy controls.
Methods: A total of 69 individuals took part in the present study.
Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of sonography and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC).
Methodology: This follow-up study was approved by review board and conducted at Endocrine Clinic and Radiology Department of Imam Reza, Kermanshah. The patients were diagnosed to have thyroid nodule examined by FNA and Sonography suspicious malignant cases underwent surgery.
Background: Lithium is one of the most effective medications in the treatment of mood disorders. The long-term lithium therapy can alter kidney morphology and function.
Objective: To evaluate the relation of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the kidneys and renal function in patients undergoing chronic lithium therapy.
Objective: To assess the effect of injecting magnesium sulfate on Doppler parameters of fetal umbilical and middle cerebral arteries (MCA) in women with severe preeclampsia.
Materials And Methods: A total of 21 patients with severe preeclampsia admitted to Imam Reza Hospital, Kermanshah (Iran), were evaluated. Before and after administration of magnesium sulfate, Doppler ultrasound scan was carried out to measure fetal middle cerebral artery and umbilical artery blood flow.
Purpose: Today, distinguishing metastatic lymph nodes from secondary benign inflammatory ones via using non-invasive methods is increasingly favorable. In this study, the diagnostic value of chemical shift artifact (CSA) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was evaluated to distinguish benign lymphadenopathy.
Subjects And Methods: A prospective intraindividual internal review board-approved study was carried out on 15 men and 15 women having lymphadenopathic lesions in different locations of the body who underwent contrast-enhanced dynamic MR imaging at 1.
