Detailed Fetal Anatomic Ultrasound Examination Duration and Association With Body Mass Index

Objective: To determine the frequency of overweight females and ovarian enlargement among women presenting with pelvic pain complaints at rural Health facilities of district Tando Muhammad Khan. Methodology: This descriptive study was conducted at physiology department of Sindh University with the collaboration of different rural health facilities of Tando Muhammad Khan, Sindh. All the females presented with pelvic pain and age more than 18 and up to 45 years were included. Body mass index (BMI) was assessed by the ratio of the individual's weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared (BMI = kg/m2). All the patients underwent ultrasound examination. Data collection was done by structured study proforma. Analysis of the data was done by the SPSS version 20. Results: A total of 239 women with pelvic pain complaints were studied, their mean age was 32.79+4.31 years. Neoplastic ovarian lesions were seen amogn12.54% of the cases. Cystic ovarian lesions were among 30.54% of the females, 5.01% had ovarian mass and 21.33% females had mixed pathologies. BMI was normal among 62.76% cases, while 20.08% women were overweight, 03.34% were obese and 13.8%females were underweight. Conclusion: Overweight females and ovarian enlargement were observed to be highly frequent among females presented with pelvic pain complaints. Cystic enlargement was observed to be the commonest cause of ovarian enlargement.

Introduction. Mortality from cardiovascular disease ranks first in the world. New and high requirements are required for the anatomical substantiation of emerging methods and methods of treatment. In modern literature, there are many publications on the issues of heart morphology, but data on the influence of gender, age, body weight on heart parameters are insufficient, fragmentary and often contradictory.Objective. To determine the thickness of the ventricles and interventricular septum in overweight men when performing echocardiography and to assess the presence or absence of the relationship of these parameters with age and body mass index (BMI) of the subjects. Patients and methods. The analysis of the protocols of ultrasound examination of the heart of 68 apparently healthy men of adolescence, the first and second periods of adulthood with a body mass index of 25.0–29.9 kg/m², with no pulmonary and cardiac pathology and the risk of cardiovascular diseases was carried out. Ultrasound examination was performed on an Aloka ProSound Alpha 6 ultrasound scanner. Results and discussion. When comparing the mean values of heart parameters in overweight men in three age groups according to the Kruskell – Wallis criterion, no statistically significant differences were found between the mean values (p > 0.05). Revealed a moderate strength relationship between the thickness of the anterior wall of the right ventricle with the age of the subject (r = 0.375; p = 0.020) and moderate strength relationship between the thickness of the posterior wall of the left ventricle and BMI (r = 0.352; p = 0.030).Conclusions. The results of the study supplement the information available in the scientific literature on the thickness of the ventricles of the heart and the interventricular septum in healthy men with overweight in three age groups. The data obtained will be useful to doctors of functional diagnostics when performing echocardiography in matters of differentiation between norm and pathology.
