This study was conducted to evaluate the role of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography in detecting endometrial pathology in postmenopausal women A group of 140 women with abnormal postmenopausal bleeding was examined by TVS with color Doppler before D & C. Histopathologic and blood flow characteristics were evaluated. Abnormal blood flow characteristics were evaluated. Abnormal blood flow within endometrium was visualized in 78% cases of cancer. RI and PI values were lowered in hyperplasia and significantly in cancer groups. Transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography can depict endometrial pathology, even in asymptomatic women.

This study investigated, for the first time, the alterations in the uterine echotexture and blood flow in cyclic and acyclic (inactive ovary) goats using ultrasonography. The study aimed also to evaluate the metabolomic changes in the plasma of cyclic and acyclic goats. Furthermore, the histopathological approach was applied to the specimens of the uterus to validate the findings of this study.

Background: High variability of intracranial arterial blood flow velocities by Transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS) has been found in clinical practice. This study aimed to improve diagnostic accuracy by analyzing influencing factors of middle cerebral artery (MCA) blood flow velocity detected by TCCS.

Methods: In total, 328 MCA vessels were classified as normal (27.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of standardized semiquantitative scoring of color Doppler ultrasound combined with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) of sound touch elastography (STE) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, providing a reference for the liver fibrosis diagnosis.

Methods: We performed ultrasound and STE on CHB patients, with liver biopsies as the benchmark. We compared the differences in ultrasound standardized semiquantitative scoring and LSM among patients with different stages of liver fibrosis, and evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of significant liver fibrosis using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the ROC curve alone or in combination.

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are a rare group of mesenchymal neoplasms composed of perivascular epithelioid cells. While commonly found in the kidney, uterus, and soft tissues, PEComas of the liver are exceedingly rare.  We present a case of a PEComa incidentally discovered in a 73-year-old female patient undergoing evaluation for abdominal pain.

The tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is highly favored by endourological urologists for its advantages in patient experience and length of hospital stay. However, there is currently no guideline or consensus that precisely describes tubeless PCNL. This study explores tubeless PCNL from two aspects: patient selection and technical improvements.
