Continuation versus discontinuation of oxytocin infusion during the active phase of labour: a randomised controlled trial.

Objective: To investigate whether discontinuation of oxytocin infusion increases the duration of the active phase of labour and reduces maternal and neonatal complications.

Design: Randomised controlled trial.

Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Regional Hospital of Randers, Denmark.

Accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging and transvaginal ultrasonography in the diagnosis, mapping, and measurement of uterine myomas.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging and transvaginal ultrasonography in myoma diagnosis, mapping, and measurement.

Study Design: This was a double-blind study of 106 consecutive premenopausal women who underwent hysterectomy for benign reasons. Myomas (total, 257) were exactly mapped by magnetic resonance imaging and transvaginal ultrasonography; in each patient, we counted correctly identified myomas with pathologic position as true value.

Reproducibility of evaluation of the uterus by transvaginal sonography, hysterosonographic examination, hysteroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging.

Background: The aim was to evaluate and compare inter-observer reproducibility by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS), hysterosonographic examination (HSE) and hysteroscopy (HY).

Methods: Different observers consecutively evaluated MRI, TVS, HSE and HY independently in 51 pre-menopausal women, who underwent hysterectomy for benign diseases.

Results: Inter-observer agreement (kappa) was as follows: Exclusion of uterine cavity abnormalities: MRI 0.

Magnetic resonance imaging and transvaginal ultrasonography for the diagnosis of adenomyosis.

Objective: To compare the diagnostic potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) in the diagnosis of adenomyosis.

Design: Double blind set-up.

Setting: University medical school.

Evaluation of the uterine cavity with magnetic resonance imaging, transvaginal sonography, hysterosonographic examination, and diagnostic hysteroscopy.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS), hysterosonographic examination (HSE), and hysteroscopy in the evaluation of the uterine cavity.

Design: Independent double-blind study.

Setting: University medical hospital.
