The contradictive findings between ultrasound, hysteroscopy and cytokines in women with nonhormonal IUDs suffering from menorrhagia: a prospective study.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to assess the correlation between bleeding irregularities and the accurate placement of the intrauterine device (IUD) device in the uterine cavity, determined through transvaginal ultrasonography and hysteroscopy. In addition, the study aims to examine the cytokine profile in the uterine cavity and serum of patients experiencing bleeding irregularities after the insertion of nonhormonal IUDs.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at a single tertiary medical center, wherein patients experiencing intermenstrual bleeding and spotting after the insertion of nonhormonal IUDs were enrolled.

In-utero evaluation of the fetal umbilical-portal venous system among fetuses with persistent right umbilical vein: Two-and three-dimensional ultrasonographic study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the anatomy of the portal system in fetuses with persistent right umbilical vein (PRUV).

Methods: Prospective observational study of fetuses diagnosed with PRUV. All patients underwent a comprehensive portal system anatomy scan supplemented by two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) color doppler modalities.

Role of Gynecological Ultrasound in Evaluation of Pelvic Urologic Pathologies.

Background: Advances in examination techniques have improved routine assessment of non-gynecological structures in the pelvis.

Objectives: To describe the sonographic features of incidental urological abnormalities found during gynecological transvaginal ultrasound.

Methods: A retrospective descriptive analysis of patients who underwent gynecological ultrasound and were diagnosed with urologic findings was performed.

Fetal Micro and Macroglossia: Defining Normal Fetal Tongue Size.

Objectives: Abnormal fetal tongue size is a phenotypic feature of various syndromes including Beckwith-Wiedemann, Pierre-Robin, oromandibular limb hypoplasia, chromosomal aberrations, etc. Current data regarding normal fetal tongue size are limited. Hence, micro/macroglossia are subjectively determined.

Dynamic esophageal patency assessment: an effective method for prenatally diagnosing esophageal atresia.

Background: Esophageal atresia is a major anomaly with a low prenatal detection rate. We propose a sonographic method termed dynamic esophageal patency assessment.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the feasibility and performance of the dynamic esophageal patency assessment in a high-risk population.

The Association Between Gastrointestinal Symptoms and Transvaginal Ultrasound Findings in Women Referred for Endometriosis Evaluation: A Prospective Pilot Study.

Purpose:  To evaluate the relationship between gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) findings suggestive of endometriosis.

Materials And Methods:  A prospective design. Women referred for a diagnostic ultrasound due to suspicion of endometriosis completed a Rome III and Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) questionnaire for clinical, GI symptoms, before undergoing TVUS.

Transient fetal sternal dermal cyst: report of 2 cases and literature review.

Objective: The purpose of this series was to describe the prenatal diagnosis and pregnancy outcome of fetuses affected by a transient idiopathic fetal sternal cyst.

Methods: Two fetuses had the diagnosis of an isolated presternal cyst at routine sonography at 15 weeks. A follow-up sonographic examination was done, and the neonates were examined after birth.
