The fluxometer "Doppler" is widely used in venous pathology but is usually limited to a mere "sounding" of the femoral and popliteal segments. The author recommends a full methodology based on venous physiopathology. Some very simple modifications of the apparatus mean that it is possible to get graphic outlines; this makes analysis easier and means that results can be reproduced. At the acute thrombosis stage diagnosis and localization are remarkably reliable. At the chronic stage the anatomic aspect is of less interest than the functional aspects, as the Doppler is of much greater use than phlebography. The advantages of this atraumatic method are obvious if results of the Doppler examination are accurate; its only conditions are a thorough knowledge of the physiopathology and great precision in the analysis.

Background: Previous studies have shown that higher uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) values in early pregnancy have predictive value for the risk of preeclampsia (PE). However, the sensitivity and specificity of this marker remain controversial. This study aims to explore further the association between UtA-PI in early pregnancy and the incidence of preeclampsia.

Background: The significant distal necrosis of the random-pattern skin flaps greatly restricts their clinical applications in flap transplantation. Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of danshensu (DSS) to alleviate ischemic tissue injury. However, no research to date has confirmed whether DSS can improve the survival of ischemic flaps.

Introduction: This study aims to quantify the shear wave speed (SWS) and stiffness of the uterine cervix (close to the internal cervical ostium (IOC) which is the cranial portion of cervix and close to the external cervical ostium (EOC) which is the caudal portion of cervix), caruncular areas, and vulvar labia during the postpartum period in healthy Kivircik ewes by using shear-wave elastography. Power Doppler ultrasonography was performed to evaluate the color pixel percentage (CPP) of the caruncles.
Methods: The study included 13 healthy pregnant Kivircik ewes, which were randomly selected.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease patients are exposed to frequent procedures and hospital admissions as well as recurrent need for radiological examinations with a high risk of exposure to radiation and contrast.
Aim: Our objective was to evaluate the role of a combination of both intestinal ultrasound (IUS) and colour Doppler with different parameters for monitoring changes in inflammation over time and to reveal their potential role in the assessment of response to biologic therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients.
Material And Methods: Before the induction of biological therapy, IUS together with colour Doppler of the intestine was conducted.

The most common diagnostic error of IIH is inaccurate funduscopic examination. Moreover, IIH could be diagnosed without papilledema. Trans orbital sonography could be used as a non-invasive and cheap tool for discovering increased ICP (intracranial Pressure).
