Objective: To determine the feasibility,tolerability, and safety of the ultrasound assessment of tubal patency using foam as contrast.

Methods: This was a prospective multicenter study of 915 infertile nulliparous women scheduled for sonohysterosalpingography with foam instillation (HYFOSY) for tubal patency testing as a part of the fertility workup. Clinical and sonographic data were recorded into a web-shared database.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of a cervical pessary and vaginal progesterone to prevent spontaneous preterm births in pregnant women with cervical lengths 25 mm or less as measured by transvaginal ultrasonography.

Methods: This was a multicenter, open-label, randomized, noninferiority trial. Women with singleton pregnancies and a short cervix (25 mm or less) measured transvaginally at the second-trimester ultrasonogram were invited to participate.

Objectives: The incidence, diagnosis, treatment and outcome of lymphatic ascites (LA) are studied on 85 consecutive patients with gynecologic cancer who had undergone pelvic and/or paraaortic lymphadenectomy by means of laparotomy or laparoscopy.

Methods: Patients were distributed in two groups depending in the access: Laparoscopy (study group: 44 patients) and laparotomy (control group: 41 patients). All surgical parameters were collected and patients underwent ultrasound examination on postoperative days 7, 14, and 28.

Objective: To determine the efficacy of the angiographic indexes of 3D power Doppler angiography (3D-PDA) for the diagnosis of malignancy in complex ovarian masses.

Methods: A prospective, observational study of 72 patients with complex adnexal mass.

Results: In the morphological study, 3D ultrasound showed sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, PLHR and NLHR of 84.

Study Objective: To describe the evolutive endometrial hysteroscopic patterns in patients undergoing long-term tamoxifen treatment.

Design: Prospective analysis. Analysis of variance test with post hoc Bonferroni test and homogeneity test of percentages were used for hypothesis contrast between the groups.

Objective: To describe hemodynamic changes in normal pregnancy and postpartum by means of thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB).

Methods: Eighteen healthy pregnant women were included in the study. Eight different hemodynamic variables were measured by thoracic electrical bioimpedance, from 12th week of gestation until 6th month of postpartum period.

Objective: To analyze the clinical and sonographic variables that predicts the success of labor induction.

Study Design: We studied the Bishop score, cervical length and parity in 196 pregnant women in the prediction of successful vaginal delivery within 24 h of induction. Logistic regression and segmentation analysis were performed.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how clinical and sonographic factors, specifically cervical length, Bishop score, and parity, influence the success of labor induction in pregnant women.
  • - Results show that shorter cervical lengths and lower Bishop scores correlate with increased chances of successful vaginal delivery within 24 hours after induction, with multiparous women having a significantly higher success rate than nulliparous women.
  • - Ultimately, the findings suggest that monitoring these variables can help predict labor induction outcomes and improve clinical decision-making.

Objective: To compare the differences in the hemodynamics between normal pregnancy and preeclampsia, using thoracic electrical bioimpedance.

Study Design: We compared heart rate, end-diastolic volume, systolic volume, cardiac output, ejection fraction and peripheral vascular resistances in 18 healthy pregnant women with 15 with preeclamptic women at the following intervals: third trimester, 48 h post-partum, 2 and 6 months post-partum. We took the measurements by thoracic electrical bioimpedance.
