Comparison of conventional and transverse Doppler sonograms.

Published: September 1993

When measuring flow velocity using the conventional ultrasonic Doppler effect, beam axis-to-flow angles approaching 90 degrees are avoided as the Doppler spectrum frequency shift is known to go to zero at this angle. In this paper, the conventional Doppler technique is compared with the transverse Doppler method, in which the Doppler spectrum bandwidth is used to estimate flow, allowing flow to be probed at 90 degrees. The comparison is made using a moving thread flow phantom capable of executing various velocity profiles. This technique may allow the probing of vessels that are inaccessible to conventional oblique probing, thus complementing the conventional Doppler technique.

Tissue Perfusion and Biomarkers Assessment Following Root Coverage Procedures.

Aim: To assess tissue perfusion changes and wound healing biomarker levels after root coverage procedures with coronally advanced flap in combination with the cross-linked xenogeneic collagen matrix (CCMX), loaded either with a placebo or recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF).

Methods: This study was designed as a secondary analysis from a previously published clinical trial, and it assessed the tissue perfusion changes over 6 months around multiple gingival recession defects, treated with either with CCMX alone (control) or with CCMX + rhPDGF (test). High frequency Doppler ultrasonography (HFUS) scans were obtained at sites of interest at baseline, 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery.

Background: The effect of congenital cardiac malformation on fetal cerebral circulation has not been well known. This study aimed to compare the cerebral blood circulation of fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD) with healthy fetuses.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included 37 pregnant women who presented to the gynecology and obstetrics department of department of Farabi Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Karadeniz Technical University for anomaly screening in the second trimester.

An 80-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with acute cerebellar infarction. Conventional magnetic resonance angiography and computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed occlusion of the right vertebral artery (VA). Carotid ultrasonography revealed that the right VA was narrowed at its entry point into the transverse foramen near C6.

Lymphadenopathy is the alteration in the consistency or size of a lymph node. It is often associated with benign diseases, although factors such as gender, location, comorbidities, and the patient's age can increase the percentage of malignancy. Infections, tumors, and systemic diseases are its most common causes.

Introduction: Neck and upper-back stiffness involves discomfort/ache in the trapezius muscle (TM). The pathogenesis of 'essential neck and upper-back stiffness' without obvious causes remains uncertain. In symptomatic subjects, TM hardness correlates with decreased transverse cervical artery (TCA) blood flow to the TM.
