Subsequent Ultrasonographic Non-Visualization Of The Ovaries Is Hastened In Women With Only One Ovary Visualized Initially, Edward J. Pavlik, Hannah Fancher, Charles S. Dietrich, John R. Van Nagell Jr.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Publications

Because the effects of age, menopausal status, weight and body mass index (BMI) on ovarian detectability by transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) have not been established, we determined their contributions to TVS visualization of the ovaries when one or both ovaries are visualized on the first ultrasound exam. A total of 29,877 women that had both ovaries visualized on their first exam were followed over 202,639 prospective TVS exams and 9703 women that had only one ovary visualized on their first exam were followed over 63,702 ultrasonography exams. All images were reviewed by a physician. While non-visualization of both ovaries increased with …

The primary objective was to examine the role of pelvic fluid observed during transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) in identifying ovarian malignancy. A single-institution, observational study was conducted within the University of Kentucky Ovarian Cancer Screening trial from January 1987 to September 2019. We analyzed true-positive (TP), false-positive (FP), true-negative (TN), and false-negative (FN) groups for the presence of pelvic fluid during screening encounters. Measured outcomes were the presence and duration of fluid over successive screening encounters. Of the 48,925 women surveyed, 2001 (4.1%) had pelvic fluid present during a TVS exam. The odds ratio (OR) of detecting fluid in the comparison …

Because the effects of age, menopausal status, weight and body mass index (BMI) on ovarian detectability by transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) have not been established, we determined their contributions to TVS visualization of the ovaries. A total of 29,877 women that had both ovaries visualized on their first exam were followed over 202,639 prospective TVS exams. All images were reviewed by a physician. While visualization of both ovaries decreased with age, one or both ovaries could be visualized in two of every three women over 80 years of age. Around 93% of pre-menopausal women and ~69% of post-menopausal women had both …

Hysteroscopy Versus Transvaginal Ultrasound In Infertile Women Prior To Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, Ahmed M. Tharwat, Amal S. Hamed, Mohammed A. Kandeel, Tarek M. Sayyed

Menoufia Medical Journal

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and hysteroscopy regarding the diagnosis of uterine cavity pathologies in a population of infertile women. Background The presence of uterine pathology may negatively affect the chance of implantation. Patients and methods A cross-sectional study at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Menoufia University Hospital between March 2018 and March 2019 on 60 women who underwent TVS in the early follicular phase for detection of any uterine cavity abnormalities, followed by diagnostic hysteroscopy for all cases. Results The study included 60 women in the age …

Clinical Value Of Ultrasonography For Monitoring Angular Pregnancy In First-Trimester, Yanhua Zhen, Md, Xuefeng Lu, Md, Chenyu Wang, Md, Huixia Li, Md, Ji-Bin Liu, Md

Department of Radiology Faculty Papers

Objective: To explore the clinical value of ultrasonography for early detection and monitoring of angular pregnancy during the first-trimester.

Methods: For this retrospective study, we enrolled 23 patients with asymptomatic angular pregnancy who were diagnosed by ultrasound at early pregnancy and who underwent ultrasound follow-up to determine its clinical outcome. An ultrasound unit E8 (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI) associated with a 5-9 MHz convex array transvaginal probe was used to image the gestational sac by both two-dimensional and three-dimensional modes. Transvaginal sonographic observation included the location, size, and shape of the gestational sac, as well as the relationship between the …

Midtrimester Transvaginal Ultrasound Cervical Length In Diamniotic Twin Pregnancies According To Chorionicity, Amanda Roman, Gabriele Saccone, Carolynn M. Dude, Danielle A. Peress, Giuseppe Maria Maruotti, Andrew Ward, Hannah Anastasio, Lorraine Dugoff, Pasquale Martinelli, Vincenzo Berghella

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Posters

Objective

To compare the mean and additional midtrimester TVCL screening cut offs in monochorionic diamniotic (MC/DA) twins and dichorionic diamniotic (DC/DA) twins and to assess the relationship between the TVCL values and spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB).

A Preliminary Study On Oocyte Collection Using Transvaginal Ultrasound In Swamp Buffalo Heifers (Bubalas Bubalis), Akachart Promdireg, Mongkol Techakumphu, Nawapen Phutikanit, Ancharlie Na-Chiangmai

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The objective of the study was to investigate the possibility of collecting oocytes using transvaginal ultrasound-guidance, in swamp buffalo heifers, after gonadotropin stimulation. Five swamp buffalo heifers were given a single dose of 3,000 IU of Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin (PMSG) intramuscularly in order to stimulate the ovaries. Examination of the ovarian responses were carried out 48h after stimulation, the follicles were subsequently punctured and the oocytes examine under a stereomicroscope. The results of the ovarian response were 6.6 ± 1.1 follicles per animal with an average diameter of 7.1 ± 4.1 mm. The mean number of oocytes collected per …
