Introduction and hypothesis The objective was to identify the best parameter (pubis–cervix measurement, pubis–uterine fundus measurement or pubis–pouch of Douglas measurement) on transperineal ultrasound, based on the ...

Background: To design a software-applied predictive model relating patients clinical and pathological traits associated with sentinel lymph-node total tumor load to individually establish the need to perform an axillary ...

Objective: Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) Doppler is a novel technique. We aim to evaluate intra- and interobserver reliability of SMI Doppler for the assessment of normal placental microvasculature. Materials and ...

Our objective was to evaluate the development of placental vascularization in normal gestation by using Doppler superb microvascular imaging (SMI). The fetal and maternal parameters of 20 pregnant women without pathology ...

It would be logical to think that single-incision mini-slings (SIMS) should behave like the rest of the tension-free vaginal tape and, therefore, to believe that they present a similar ultrasound appearance, but there ...

Objective To determine whether differences exist in the rate of levator ani muscle (LAM) avulsion between women who had undergone either Malmström vacuum delivery (MVD) or Kielland forceps delivery (KFD), allowing for ...

The gold standard for the diagnosis of pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) is venography (VG), although transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) might be a noninvasive, nonionizing alternative. Our aim is to determine whether TVU is ...

We want to describe a model that allows the use of transperineal ultrasound to define the probability of experiencing uterine prolapse (UP). This was a prospective observational study involving 107 patients with UP or ...

The relationship between the anorectal angle (ARA) and the levator ani muscle (LAM) is well known. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate that the ARA changes when LAM avulsion occurs after vaginal delivery. This was a ...

To determine whether clinicopathological characteristics can improve the prediction of metastasis to nonsentinel lymph nodes (NSLNs) over the use of only mRNA copy number in sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsies. Methods: ...
