Abstract The present study was carried out to provide comparative B-mode and Doppler ultrasonographic description of pelvic tendon, ligaments, middle uterine artery and placentom in non-pregnant and heavy pregnant cows. It is also, monitors pregnancy associated changes including hemodynamic parameters of middle uterine artery along with, serum estrogen and progesterone levels. Forty healthy pluiparous dairy cows of native breeds were used in this study. The animals were divided into two groups each contain 20 cows. The first one was non-pregnant and the second one was heavy pregnant at 9th month of gestation. The examination was carried out with multiple imaging B-mode and color Doppler ultrasonography. Pelvic tendon and ligaments including dorsal branch of the dorsal sacroiliac ligament- thoracolumbar fascia combination (D-DSIL-TLF), lateral and ventral branches of the dorsal sacroiliac ligament (L-DSIL and V-DSIL respectively), and sacrosciatic ligament (SSL) as well as the middle uterine artery (MUA) and placentome were examined. Serum estrogen and progesterone levels were also evaluated and compared between both groups. The obtained results revealed that pregnancy greatly influence doppler indices and diameter of MUA as well as serum estrogen and progesterone concentration besides, measurements of pelvic ligaments except for the thickness and cross -sectional area of D-DSIL- TLF combination. The obtained results can be used as a guide for future studies dealing with monitoring normal and abnormal pregnancy in cows.

Preeclampsia and Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) remains as the important causes for the neonatal and maternal complications leading to even death in some cases. Uterine artery Doppler USG can be done transvaginally or trans abdominal and performed in the 1st or 2nd trimester of the pregnancy to detect these complications Doppler waveform suggested the high vascular resistance to blood flow. In our present study, we conclude uterine artery Doppler indices as prognostic procedure for the preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. A cross-sectional survey design with convenient sampling technique was used. Mixture of standardized and self-modified structured questionnaire was undertaken to determine the indices of pre eclampsia and IUGR by uterine artery. The data was collected from Bahria International Hospital, Lahore during the period of 9 months. This study was included 162 pregnant females with identification of the main uterine artery on a longitudinal scan lateral to the uterus.  Initial diastolic notch of right and left side of the uterine artery waveforms was recorded. At every antenatal checkup, urine was tested for protein and blood pressure readings were taken to identify preeclampsia. Further analysis was done dividing patients as normotensive and those patients developing hypertension after 30 weeks of gestation. After delivery neonates observed for IUGR by head circumference and body weight. The study was concluded that from the total sample size of 162 pregnant females who undergoes uterine artery Doppler, 34% females shows diastolic notch and almost all of these later diagnosed with preeclampsia and 19.8% deliver babies with IUGR. So, based on the study, we have concluded that uterine artery Doppler is helpful to provide diagnosis of preeclampsia and IUGR in early pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: Deep vein thrombosis is a common disease among people who are immobilized. Immobility is inherent to paraplegia and leads to venous stasis, which is one of the factors covered by Virchow's triad describing its development. Trauma is the primary cause of paraplegia and is currently increasing at a rate of 4% per year. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of deep vein thrombosis in paraplegic patients whose paraplegia was caused by traumas, using color Doppler ultrasonography for diagnosis. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional observational study of 30 trauma-induced paraplegia patients, selected after analysis of medical records at the neurosurgery department of a University Hospital in Curitiba, Brazil, and by a proactive survey of associations that care for the physically disabled. The prevalence of deep vein thrombosis was analyzed using 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: Spinal cord trauma was the cause of paraplegia in 29 patients. The most common cause of trauma was gunshot wounding, reported by 17 patients. Deep vein thrombosis was diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasonography in 14 patients in the sample. The most often affected vein was the posterior tibial, in 11 patients. The left lower limb was involved three times more often than the right. Edema was observed in 25 individuals, cyanosis in 14, ulcers in 8 and localized increase in temperature in 13. CONCLUSIONS: Deep vein thrombosis was prevalent, occurring in 46.7% of the patients.

The objective: to assess the state of uterine blood flow in endometrial hyperplasia in women of reproductive period. Patients and methods. 130 patients (n=100 – the main group; n=30 – control group) aged 18-49 years with endometrial hyperplasia were examined. All the women underwent 2D transvaginal echography and color Doppler mapping. The angle-independent indices (pulsatility index, resistivity index, diastolic/systolic ratio) of blood flow were determined in the uterine, arcuate, radial, basal and spiral arteries. Results. There was no significant difference in the indices of blood flow of the right uterine artery, arcuate, radial, basal arteries among patients and control group. Among women with endometrial hyperplasia pulsatility index of the left uterine artery amounted to – 2.11, resistivity index – 0.88, and the diastolic/systolic ratio – 5.45, in women of the control group – 2.34, 1.01 and 7.50, respectively. Only among patients with endometrial hyperplastic process was registered blood flow in the spiral arteries. Conclusion. The use of color Doppler mapping is appropriate, because registration of intraendometrial blood flow allows an endometrial hyperplastic process to be diagnosed with a high degree of confidence. Key words: endometrial hyperplasia, reproductive period, color Doppler mapping, intraendometrial blood flow, pulsatility index, resistivity index, diastolic/systolic ratio.

Background: This cross sectional study was carried out to observe Doppler wave form in subjects with preeclampsia enrolling 40 subjects with preeclampsia, in the Department of Radiology and Imaging, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, over a period of six months from 20th May 2012. A total number of 40 normal pregnancies were also included for comparison. Methods: Objective of the study was to observe Doppler wave form in subjects with preeclampsia. While specific object is To see PSV, EDV, RI, PI in different groups of study subjects from 24th to 37th weeks and find out significant difference of different Doppler indices in between two groups (i.e.,to calculate the proportion of subjects having early diastolic notch in two groups). Results: Majority (35% in normal and 37.5% in preeclampsia) of the respondents were found in the age group of 21-30 years. Unpaired t-test revealed no significant difference between mean age between two groups. Among normal group, mean±SD PSV, EDV, PI and RI were 43.94±15.41 cm/sec and 15.51 (±4.93) cm/sec, 1.12±0.0846 and 0.571 (±0.058) respectively. Mean PSV, EDV, PI and RI were 83.19±18.44 cm/sec, 11.86±5.19 cm/sec, 2.497±0.369 and 0.8255±0.087 in preeclampsia group. There was statistically significant (By unpaired t-test) difference in mean Doppler indices between these two groups. It was observed that early diastolic notch was found in 90% subjects with preeclampsia. Early diastolic notch was observed in Doppler wave form in 5% subject with normal pregnancy. Chi-square test showed that there was statistically significant difference in presence of early diastolic notch between normal subjects and subjects with preeclampsia. Conclusion: It may be concluded that doppler indices with presence of early diastolic notch are reliable indicators for early detection of preeclampsia. Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2019; 45: 34-40

Uterine Artery Pseudoaneurysm

Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) occurs rarely and can develop after various gynecologic or obstetric procedures. The delayed diagnosis of this disease often results in life-threatening hemorrhage. Here is described a case of UAP after cesarean section. The patient visited gynecology outpatient department of AHD 60 days after cesarean section done outside AHD because of abnormal per vaginal bleeding. After her cesarean section she had undergone laparotomy outside AHD for post partum haemorrhage but those papers were not available. From there she was sent to our radiology department for color Doppler TVS examination and here she was diagnosed as a case of UAP using color Doppler ultrasonography. The most frequent cause of UAP is cesarean section, which accounted for 47.4% of all cases. Previous studies show that the definitive diagnosis was made at angiography (41.2%), computed tomography (29.4%), or color doppler ultrasonography (29.4%). Almost all cases (94.1%) were conservatively treated with transcatheter uterine artery embolization. Consideration of UAP in the differential diagnosis is crucial for proper treatment before rupture and to preserve fertility.Pulse Vol.7 January-December 2014 p.56-60
