- This study evaluated the effectiveness of ultrasound in diagnosing the causes of obstructive jaundice among 80 adult patients, focusing on sensitivity and specificity.
- The most common causes detected were pancreatic carcinoma and choledocholithiasis, while the least was hepatocellular carcinoma, with a notable correlation between ultrasound findings and surgical outcomes.
- Ultrasound demonstrated a sensitivity of 76.6% and high specificity of 98%, making it a reliable tool for timely surgical interventions in cases of obstructive jaundice.
Purpose: Post-stroke arthritic changes that may compromise rehabilitation have been described in the upper and lower limbs. We aimed at evaluating the soft tissue arthritic changes associated with pain in hemiplegic knees of stroke patients in our environment.
Material And Methods: Hemiplegic and non-hemiplegic knees of 48 stroke patients as well as both knees of 26 apparently healthy controls were evaluated with a 7.
Objective: To determine the strength of association between fetal kidney measurements and gestational age (GA) in third-trimester pregnancies.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, women in the third trimester of a singleton pregnancy who were sure of the date of their last menstrual period or had an early pregnancy scan were recruited consecutively in 2012. Standard biometric measurements were taken, along with fetal kidney length (FKL), anteroposterior diameter (FKAPD), and transverse diameter (FKTD).
