Similar findings were reported during second and thirdtrimesters showing significant positive correlation placental thickness and fetal weights in studies by Elachel et al 35 , Ohagwu et al 36 , De Paula et al 37 , Daskalis et al 34 , Sanin et al 38 , Habib 39 , Abu et al 31 , Clapp et al 40 , Kinare et al 41 and previous studies. 30,32,42 EFWs showed a progressive increase in value throughout gestation.
ABSTRACT:Pigmented villonodularsynovitis (PVNS) is a benign proliferative disorder primarily occurring in the large joints of the appendicular skeleton such as the knee and hip joints.PVNS is a slow-growing lesion of uncertain aetiology arising from the synovial membrane. It is characterized by villous and nodular overgrowths of the synovial membrane of the bursa or the tendon sheath.Though magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered to be most sensitive in revealing findings consistent with PVNS, these findings are to be correlated with clinical and histopathological findings for precise diagnosis.Here we present a case with painless, non-traumatic swelling of left knee since 2 years, diagnosed as PVNS on plain radiograph, CT and MRI,underwent total synovectomy andwas later on confirmed histopathologically.
ABSTRACT:Gastrointestinal stromal tumours are relatively common tumours of gastrointestinal tract, most commonly found in the stomach. GISTs are generally asymptomatic but may present with epigastric pain, bleeding and features of gastric outlet obstruction. Adult intussusception is rare and the diagnosis can be delayed because it occurs infrequently, and its symptoms are long standing, intermittent, and nonspecific. Here we present a rare case of gastroduodenal intussusception with gastric stromal tumour as a lead point. Preoperative diagnosis was made on abdominal CT and confirmed by laparotomy and histopathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
