Renal subcapular saline injection during percutanoues renal cryoablation to prevent bowel injury.

Introduction: To evaluate the feasibility of percutaneous injection of saline in the renal subcapsular space to prevent bowel injury and histopathologic effects of bowel cryolesion during renal cryoablation in a porcine model.

Material And Method: Six pigs underwent percutaneous renal cryoablation with two freeze cycles in the lower pole of both kidneys. Six kidneys were injected with 10 ml saline into the renal subcapular space before cryoablation.

Chromosome analysis of uncultured amniocytes by comparative genomic hybridization in early amniocentesis.

Objective: To study chromosome analysis by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) compared with the conventional technique in early amniocentesis.

Material And Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study design was performed in 32 singleton pregnant women with gestational age between 12-15 weeks. Transabdominal amniocentesis was carried out under ultrasound guidance.
